    P.A.M. Dirac, who gave us an axiomatic quantum mechanics, wrote not that one should not ask certain questions but rather that the questions that one may meaningfully ask must be meaningful in the context of the physical view of the world. It is unreasonable to critique a physical view of the world because what is meaningful in that view is not what is meaningful in another view of the world, especially one that is narrower - as, for example, classical physics is narrower in its scope than quantum physics. What counts in science is the view that is consistent with all the data.

    General Relativity: TDR = (Temp/5)^2 seconds (+1c^3 == +1ºC)
    Temperature is an aperture to BB weight/temperature, the larger the aperture the higher the temperature, so ...
    12Planck == +1c^3 == +1ºC
    But, The ligo experiment demands the aperture stay the same but the underlying energy density doubles so ...
    Energy Density = Particle Count / (4/3*Pi*12Planck^3)
    A Ligo style interfered Higgs Reaction would be described as ...
    ED = 2*(Particle Count) / (4/3*Pi*12Planck^3)
    So we get +1ED == +1c^3 == +1ºC
    So aperture temperature and size are directly proportional to the "Photonium" particle count per cubic.
    Halve the ED and the photon rises towards our visible space (Entropic Expansion).
    Double the ED and the photon drops away from our visible space towards the BB hyper space (Entropic Collapse).
    Energy Density is directly proportional to the Skin compression if the particle is stable.

    Regarding constructor theory, here's my first General Realtivity "constructor rule" for the Velocity Higgs Mechanism ...
    Skin Theory - The Higgs velocity mechanism
    General Relativity: TDR = (Temp/5)^2 seconds (+1c^3=+1ºC)
    Lorentz Gamma: TDR = V/c
    Vc: TDR = ?(V-c)?/c == (Temp/5)^2 seconds ?
    ...
    So for the Muon G2 result we have ...
    +3x10^8m/s == +1c^3 == +1ºC
    Which implies Zero Degree Celsius space has a stationary in situ energy potential = the Speed of light (i.e. A distance to the the zero line of the BB space).
    1c from our 3d space potential.
    1c from the Velocity addition over c of the collision (**Into the BB weight space??).
    1c from the depth into the BB weight space temperature aperture.
    This implies the exhibited temperature should be half input temperature because of BB space redshift. (**a c^3 distance??).

    Quantum physics is like International banking.
    1. A transaction that leaves a record in New York can have a corresponding, inverse transaction and record in Shanghai. The one transaction or process creates spooky action at a distance.
    2. A process can pass through several pathways, evading taxation.
    3. A process can cascade causing a financial crash or explosion, destroying assets.
    4. Phenomena that are not readily visualised in the normal world may arise, like negative interest.
    5. Imaginary gains are possible, which can be represented on a two axis basis involving the square root of minus one.
    Against this theory: losses are not imaginary, however large.
    Then you have Nouvelle Vague theory, which I heard In A Bar: If a wave hits you hard enough, it feels like something bigger than a particle!

      Good Analogies 😁 But, on a serious note, Quantum Mechanics describes, or at least *tries* to describe a world so Alien that we can only use exotic, proabalistic mathematics to navigate the Quantum Realm...
      And it's quite clear that this probabilistic realm is hard, if not impossible to reconcile itself with our interpretation of Reality.
      Sure, the Math works fine... If you don't ask any questions or, are intoxicated by the spooky weirdness of the Math so as to invoke a whole plethora of New Age Bullshit!
      Well... I'm fine with New Age speculative clap trap (as long as you're rolling the weed!) but on a more serious note... We simply have No Idea about how Quantum Mechanics actually works... Which means, on a fundamental level, we don't know how the Universe works...
      And rather than simply give up, calculate and blaze weed on what it All Could Mean... Surely asking these probing questions is the only way we going to make progress in a Deeper understanding of the Universe...

      @grayarcana Před 4 lety +1

      John Doe Good reply, but if you are going to be serious, you will shortly exhaust my limited layman’s second hand knowledge of these matters.
      As a flippant aside, you can more simply explain the financial world as the natural corruption and dysfunctionality when a powerful sectional interest gains the ascendancy over the democratic institutions and agencies.
      More seriously, I am not convinced the wave:particle phenomenon is so unnatural. Water in a test tube manifests many peculiar phenomena in itself, but at the seaside, other phenomena emerge. A wave has perceived identity, and can, as I alluded, hit you hard as a sack of potatoes. At a seaside scale, with an ocean behind to generate waves, we perceive phenomena which no Laboratory analysis would explain, save that of a large scale test bath in which waves are generated but where does your analysis go then.
      Seaside waves are amenable to a certain type of mathematical analysis with more general application: the underlying properties of waves are emergent. Is it so strange to try to carry this thinking over into the Planck scale world?
      Perhaps all we can detect, or infer, is emergent from a more fundamental, sub-Planck reality we cannot enter? Wild metaphysical speculation: ask Mr. Probz about Wave after Wave!
      You must now leave me by the shore as you ascend the higher mathematical regions.

    5:17 - No, the particle is never actually IN two positions at the same time. That superposition state is a definite, well defined quantum state that does not correspond to a position eigenvector. Therefore it is in NO position. When you make a measurement of position, you force it into a position state. Since it's not already in one, it has to pick one, and that choice is random, though influenced by the "distance" the current state is from all of the position eigenstates. It's more likely to choose a "closer" one; less likely to choose a "more remote" one. But it is not IN a position until you make the measurement, and then it is in exactly ONE position. It is never, ever, EVER the case that a quantum system is in multiple eigenstates of an observable at any instant in time. This is mis-phrased way to often, and it promotes confusion and "mystical thinking" on the part of the public.

    • @AL-wv8jx

      doesn't bohmian mech give it a "definite" position at all times it's just hidden by the "pilot wave" until the measurement is taken. I agree the 2 places at once is more confusing than helpful as it does imply two definite positions, which is not what they are describing. I also think that the truth is closer to copenhagen than bohmian, though.

    It is not really difficult to say why the standard (Copenhagen) Interpretation is wrong, as 't Hooft says here: it implies that we cannot know anything about a system in the tiny regime until we perform a measurement. In other words, it justifies ignorance of what is actually happening.
    Not only that, but it hides this justification of ignorance through a set of axioms that must not themselves be questioned or investigated, axioms like Born's Rule (interpreting the square of the Schrödinger equation as a probability distribution), instead of deriving the probability distribution as Stefan, Maxwell, and Boltzmann defined black-body temperature as a abundance versus speed (probability) distribution.
    Other axioms (unexplainable premises) of the Copenhagen Interpetation include the duality of particle and wave, the nondeteriminism of particle trajectories, ignoring any interaction with the environment surrounding the experiment (including measuring devices), and the apparent collapse of the wave function upon measurement/observation.
    It is strange that another interpretation of quantum mechanics (due to David Bohm and published in 1952) eliminates the need for mystery or ignorance in the physics of the very tiny regime. For example, by simply adding the intial positions of the particles to the state of an experiment, Bohmian Mechanics successfully provides deterministic trajectories for the particles. In hindsight, we can see that the wave function describes only part of the state of an experiment: the part determined by the geometry of the apparatus. Many of the mysteries that physicists accept in quantum mechanics are due to this omission of the initial positions of the particles.
    I say the success of this interpretation due to Bohm is strange because it has been so widely ignored. The reason is simple: Bohm had briefly been a member of the Communist Party, had been called up before Senator Joseph McCarthy, and had been exiled from Princeton University and the USA. As one-time friend Robert Oppenheimer pointed out, Bohm's physics were excellent, but he was a politically dangerous man. He urged physicists to have nothing to do with him, and they have listened all too well.
    Einstein famously wrote in letters that "God does not play dice with the universe" and that quantum mechanics was "incomplete". Einstein argued that the rules for even tiny particles must be consistent whether the particles were observed or not. He criticised the idea that the quantum realm couldn't be described definitively, saying "it is this view against which my instinct revolts." He was right, but his comments apply only to the Copenhagen Interpretation, forced on physicists in 1927 and held religiously ever since, not to the precise and successful equations and ideas of quantum mechanics.
    And John Bell, the famous Scottish physicist who showed that the "hidden variables" interpretation was incorrect, approved of Bohm's work as soon as it was published, pointing out that Bohm had repeated the work done a quarter of a century earlier by Louis de Broglie, but was able to add a kind of hidden variables, actually particle positions, to standard quantum theory, and to obtain a fully realistic and deterministic version of the theory.

    • @david_porthouse
      @david_porthouse Před 11 měsíci

      Bohm’s political views are irrelevant. The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation looks remarkably like streamline-tracing in fluid mechanics, but lacks any mechanism for the annihilation of unwanted streamlines once a measurement is made.
      Bohm’s other idea is holism, which is correct. Any computer simulation of quantum mechanics should include a model of the detector if we are hoping to see a collapse of the wave function, and also a model of the emitter if we want to simulate correlated pairs of photons. Let’s call that Bohm’s Principle. He did achieve something.
      John Bell was from Northern Ireland.

    I agree with the third speaker. QM is not a theory, by definition, because it does not give an explanation - but it works. What is an explanation? A logical picture that a human brain recognises. It is therefore a metatheory. And when we try and bring the metatheory back down to earth - we have an interpretation. QM then escapes again into metatheory land, because we can't have interpretations in theory land. Hence incomplete.

      We can synthesise “free will” from a computer’s random number generator, from an ERNIE-like device, and from experiments on the light of distant galaxies, all working in tandem. There is an idea called superdeterminism which implies that there is some great conspiracy between all these sources of putative randomness which prevents the experimenter from making a free choice nevertheless.

    I always find it difficult to boil these discussions down to useful information. For example, given today's technology we know this about quantum mechanics: It's not directly observable, it's difficult to run experiments on the quantum level and just what the heck does the quantum level look like as it relates to the space/time continuum. We do know that at the quantum level things move at the speed of light, therefore they don't experience time, thus they don't experience causality.
    Frankly, I'm not even sure these things are true, but I don't think anyone knows, for sure, whether or not they are true.

    I like the thoughts of Phillip Ball, especially his recognition relating to the problem of words founded in empiricism.
    However, this seems to be self tripping in that when he says... 'We know more, now'. Actually we don't 'know' more, if knowledge is justified true belief. We have reason to believe more, is more accurate, but we may be completely wrong. At best, our work clusters around experiments done today. The rest of our belief structure is based on assumptions about the earlier universe that happens to coincide with our theories.

    There’s more than one way to travel faster than light according to the Minkowski formalism. I suggest one way is associated with wavelike behaviour, and the other way with particle-like behaviour, but I won’t say which is which at this stage. I will go a lot further and suggest that if we don’t realise that there is more than one way to travel faster than light, then we are wasting our time trying to understand quantum mechanics. Perhaps I do indeed go too far too quickly with this last point, but we need new ideas.

    Quanta of light gives an indeterministic picture because the are not actually local pieces of momentum traveling around space, any classical substitution for quantum mechanics must deal with this fact, the deterministic substitution must contain the shifts in momentum of coupled massive particles with a deterministic picture that does not try to localize the force carriers in terms of classical deterministic paths, such as the original conception of the photon, i would rather think of atoms and fermions as embeded in a sea of radiation that produces these shifts in momentum like a classical wave theory, and our measuring devices are consisting of atoms that must shift between harmonic energy levels for us to see a spesific packet of momentum, we cannot measure a photon, we can only measure its effect on a fermion, that means we cannot determine anything between shits between states, apart from statistically determining the lamb shit amd other features of the systems inregularities on avrage, to provide exact mechanics that predic these irregularities is dependent on a classical model to underly the first principles of quantum mechanics.

    ​Modern Quantum Physics has shown that reality is based on probability:

    A statistical impossibility is defined as “a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. Sometimes it is quoted as 1/10^50 although the cutoff is inherently arbitrary. Although not truly impossible the probability is low enough so as to not bear mention in a Rational, Reasonable argument." The probability of finding one particular atom out of all of the atoms in the universe has been estimated to be 1/10^80. The probability of just one (1) functional 150 amino acid protein chain forming by chance is 1/10^164. It has been calculated that the probability of DNA forming by chance is 1/10^119,000. The probability of random chance protein-protein linkages in a cell is 1/10^79,000,000,000. Based on just these three cellular components, it would be far more Rational and Reasonable to conclude that the cell was not formed by un-directed random natural processes. Note: Abiogenesis Hypothesis posits that un-directed random natural processes, i.e. random chance formation, of molecules led to living organisms. Natural selection has no effect on individual atoms and molecules on the micro scale in a prebiotic environment. (*For reference, peptides/proteins can vary in size from 3 amino acid chains to 34,000 amino acid chains. Some scientists consider 300-400 amino acid protein chains to be the average size. There are 42,000,000 protein molecules in just one (1) simple cell, each protein requiring precise assembly. There are approx. 30,000,000,000,000 cells in the human body.)
    Of all the physical laws and constants, just the Cosmological Constant alone is tuned to a level of 1/10^120; not to mention the fine-tuning of the Mass-Energy distribution of early universe which is 1/10^10^123. Therefore, in the fine-tuning argument, it would be more Rational and Reasonable to conclude that the multi-verse is not the correct answer. On the other hand, it has been scientifically proven numerous times that Consciousness does indeed collapse the wave function to cause information waves of probability/potentiality to become particle/matter with 1/1 probability. A rational and reasonable person could therefore conclude that the answer is consciousness.
    A "Miracle" is considered to be an event with a probability of occurrence of 1/10^6. Abiogenesis, RNA World Hypothesis, and Multiverse would all far, far, far exceed any "Miracle". Yet, these extremely irrational and unreasonable hypotheses are what some of the world’s top scientists ‘must’ believe in because of a prior commitment to a strictly arbitrary, subjective, biased, narrow, limiting, materialistic ideology / worldview.

    Every idea, number, concept, thought, theory, mathematical equation, abstraction, qualia, etc. existing within and expressed by anyone is "Immaterial" or "Non-material". The very idea or concept of "Materialism" is an immaterial entity and by it's own definition does not exist. Modern science seems to be stuck in archaic, subjective, biased, incomplete ideologies that have inadequately attempted to define the "nature of reality" or the "reality of nature" for millennia. A Paradigm Shift in ‘Science’ is needed for humanity to advance. A major part of this Science Paradigm Shift would be the formal acknowledgment by the scientific community of the existence of "Immaterial" or "Non-material" entities as verified and confirmed by observation of the universe and discoveries in Quantum Physics.)

      My understanding of quantum mechanics is that quantization is a result of assigning a value to the commutator of two conjugate observables, such as position and momentum. So doing leads to equations for those quantities that are eigenvalue equations often having a continuous and a discrete spectrum of eigenvalues. I know of no arbitrary assignment of values to the variables. The wave equation that RG mentions is such an eigenvalue equation.

I also don't think it makes sense for waves to suddently transmogrify into infinitely dense point objects (per the wave-particle-duality principle). So that leaves interactions. Quantized, localized field interactions would look like point particles to the casual observer, and field quantization could be maintained by a continuing pattern of virtual interactions.

If you have a bonfire going that produces a ton of smoke, and you throw some object with great force through the smoke, you will see a trail of smoke follow it for a ways because it causes an air current that the particles follow.
      And then they showed smoke coming out of buildings that mysteriously didn't pass corners of buildings...except that's not mysterious at all. That's how wind works. You can tell which way the wind is blowing based on the smoke direction, and so wind blowing in that direction hitting the flat face of a building will sheer and go parallel to the building, causing an air current coming straight off the corner, pushing the smoke from that exact point.
      Anything else you need explained to you?

    "Of cause the moon is there!" Incredulity is not an argument.
    Reality is proceedurally generated by our observations.
    Objective materialism died in 1927.
    All attempts to resuscitate it have failed.

      The ability of the ego to place importance onto itself is infinite.

    Chiara Marletto certainly made my brain unsharp. It was in a superposition in which it was simultaneously pondering double-slit experiments and going, "My God, what a babe."

    The Noble Laureat is unable to explain what Quantum Physics is, yet calls it beautiful and perfect. If you notice the moment you catch him out with Quantum Physics not being quite right, he will throw in the human interpretation excuse.
