I just thought I'd tell everyone here (is anyone here?) that the current "journal club" in the yahoo! egroup undernetphysics is on a paper whose purpose is to...
Hi I am an amatuer who would like to know, qualitatively, how Bohmian mechanics describes tunneling. Further, what is the mechanism of radioactive decay as...
... Tk, tunneling occurs when a particle is able to penetrate a region where it does not have enough classical energy to be present in. Bohmian mechanics...
... Hey Carl, It sounds like what you are describing here is akin to multiple worlds -- that is, when you say that time is "multi valued", this could be...
Dear David Strayhorn; From my point of view, the best argument for MWI is to note that photons do (as far as I know) exhibit interference even between paths...
... The idea that photons interfere with themselves on light paths that may be light years different in length is contradicted by the simple fact that photons...
... This is a thought experiment only, and is an interference between a single photon and itself. To make it work in the real world, you'd have to have the...
What this theory of time points to is Plato's notion of the numinous world that preceeds the phenomenal (measurable, three dimensional, sensate, tactile)...
Thanks for a thoughtful response CAB. Comments below. ... Here you are talking about correlated actions and aggregate non resonance not interference between...
Hey CAB,
I've been slowly going through your website -- I'm halfway through your fir= st paper. I think it helps me understand your PoV at least a little...
Thanks for the interesting comments, Jim; ... It's obvious we're talking past each other on this point. We probably differ on what "interference" means....
... Yes. But we may be getting to the point and I believe we agree. At least you are confirming me objections to the standard interpretations of photon...
Dear David Strayhorn; Thanks for going to the trouble to read all that stuff. The easiest way to sharpen an idea is to talk it over with someone who has a...
ok, I won't say the P word ever again... The following definitions come from the sew-lexicon glossary http://www.sew-lexicon.com/glossary.htm this is the Q...
Pretty obvious stuff to me. Then there's ... rejects the ... Hi again, after a pretty long absence, I started to read all the messages from the start and ran...
... the ... maybe ... Eric, the quotation above in the previous message was yours.. I also wonder if anyone has been familiar with Amit Goswami's approach...
Hakan, Our world view is very much related to how we are raised, culture in general and the environment we are living in. To prove this some researchers...
Hakan, I read a long interview with Amid Goswami. My impression: he doesn't say anything new or interesting. May be a good summary of the known arguments. What...
He proposes what he calls an idealistic interpretation of quantum mechanics as an alternative to escape the paradoxes otherwise (i.e realist, anti-realist and...
... at the MWI would not work in the classical world, eg to thermodynamics, brownian motion, etc. As you point out, it would have no bearing on the equations...
Dear David Strayhorn; ... We can never determine that a theory is ontologically correct. All we can do is determine that it is not. There can only be one ...
... I would submit the idea that there is no such thing as a theory that does not have mutually exclusive interpretations / ontologies. Let's say that someone...
Dear David Strayhorn; ... I can't make any sense out of your argument. If what you're saying, is that you believe that the physical world is inherently ...
Dear David Strayhorn; It appears to me that I've figured out how to map both quarks and leptons into the same propagator. The solution is to use the PTT with...
Dear Lady Ganesha; I just bought a book that gives me sort of an idea of what ... The book I bought is "Nature Loves to Hide" by Shimon Malin. I picked it up...
... Nope, that's not what I think at all. I was sorta doing a "demonstrating absurdity by being absurd" argument, but since it didn't seem to make sense to...
... There's a discussion that is sorta brewing in the group, qm2, on the topic of complex numbers in QM. Maybe worth looking at if you're interested. I've been...
Dear David Strayhorn; ... The "ether" is supposed to be the medium which allows light to propagate. GR doesn't have much to say about light. For example, ...
To all dBB'ers out there (Travis and Eric, are you still here?)
