I'm personally much much more of a fan of QFT and MWI

2020-03-08 15:33:20 UTC  

If people were interested in a private audiobook/ebook library for the Athen's community, I could add his books to it 🙂

2020-03-08 15:33:26 UTC  

But so far, no responses...

2020-03-08 15:35:59 UTC  

true, M-Theory and a few others had a similar idea.

2020-03-08 15:36:37 UTC  

Cosmological constant...

2020-03-08 15:37:49 UTC  

yeah, mathematicians refusal to admit their postulates are missing a few
partial differentials

2020-03-08 15:38:19 UTC  

Well, theoretical physicists anyway

2020-03-08 15:39:26 UTC  

meh, i doubt very many are capable of remembering what their terms mean once they start down the road of running the numbers

2020-03-08 15:39:52 UTC  

He's well spoken

2020-03-08 15:40:24 UTC  

Electrons are waves, hmm

2020-03-08 15:41:08 UTC  

otherwise, they wouldn't make such regular claims that contradicted their fundamental assertions

2020-03-08 15:41:53 UTC  

well, you can apply statistical analysis to any relationship described by analog calculus

2020-03-08 15:42:07 UTC  

just an approximation

2020-03-08 15:42:43 UTC  

One of my favorite ideas in all of physics is the Single Electron Universe

2020-03-08 15:43:04 UTC  

hmm, not sure I'm familiar with that one

2020-03-08 15:43:08 UTC  

"It looks like the way electrons behave in their wavefunctions is different when you're not looking at them versus when you are looking at them"

2020-03-08 15:43:14 UTC  

Spooky

2020-03-08 15:43:49 UTC  

@OneTrueGod That's what I was talking about before.

2020-03-08 15:43:55 UTC  

Creepy huh

2020-03-08 15:44:07 UTC  

Hugh Everett proposed that we were overly complicating things.

2020-03-08 15:44:08 UTC  

OR.. "Given the scale, it looks like we can't make measurements or observations without disturbing that which we wish to evaluate"

2020-03-08 15:44:25 UTC  

That there is no observation step. There is only entanglement.

2020-03-08 15:44:29 UTC  

Not quite

2020-03-08 15:45:06 UTC  

The double split experiment has methods of measuring that do not interfere directly

2020-03-08 15:45:10 UTC  

always curious why more people only consider higher dimensions rather than lower dimensions

2020-03-08 15:45:19 UTC  

yet the electrons still act the same way

2020-03-08 15:46:07 UTC  

any measurment or observation effecting the initial state of a system will result in an altered end state

2020-03-08 15:46:24 UTC  

That's not possible though

2020-03-08 15:47:15 UTC  

explain what you mean by this. not possible... per the current paradigm.. which we know to be inaccurate

2020-03-08 15:47:24 UTC  

Firstly, you would have to describe how a measurement effects an electron in such a specific way despite different types of measurement

2020-03-08 15:48:04 UTC  

You ought to think about observation in terms of entanglement rather than classical interaction

2020-03-08 15:49:28 UTC  

actually, given the contradictions revealed by the double slit experiment, if you resume the conventions that apply in any other field, the burden of proof would be on you to prove definatively that it is impossible for such an interaction to occur

2020-03-08 15:49:48 UTC  

it's only the shift in convention that changes the burden of proof

2020-03-08 15:49:56 UTC  

Won't be answered until we have a way of observing an electron without interfering with it, like firing them through a hole into a screen that registers it

2020-03-08 15:50:08 UTC  

true

2020-03-08 15:50:15 UTC  

Want to know what's even creepier?

2020-03-08 15:50:43 UTC  

seems to indicate that our reality is the result of the 'alignment' of lower dimensions

2020-03-08 15:50:57 UTC  

hence why the electron 'waves' in and out of existance

2020-03-08 15:51:00 UTC  

Setting up a means of visually recording the electron as it passes through the hole seems to make it act as a single particle
