Hi All
Have a look at the following discussion about QM:
Its long so I do not expect too many people to watch it in its entirety. But it does show confusion about QM even amongst educated people, and the physicist involved IMHO seemed a bit 'confused' himself. You can easily see how the general educated public can form some 'strange' ideas when they try to integrate it into their world view. I gave a long reply with my views, but there is only so much I can get across.
It makes me think that before anyone discusses QM they should at least read Susskind's excellent book, otherwise debating it, even with a physicist present, can quickly become not that enlightening, and even leading to rather 'silly' conclusions.
Thanks
Bill
