#quantummechanics



Probabilities. Sean Carroll's '"Many World's Theory" We have "The Quantum Measurement Problem"
We also have "The GRW Theory" touched on.
GRW Theory and Quantum Entanglement touched on.

Moderated by Brian Greene

I wonder what thee great minds think of Climate Change and human contributions?

 

[Dante]

"Convinced is always too strong right, in science I'm always willing to change my mind if a better Theory comes along. If the grw collapses, are found experimentally, I will change my mind like that ever will be falsified and we will move on."

"But I think that you when you have a theory whose fundamental ingredients are so simple, one that fits the data so nicely, uh yeah I'm not going to spend my time thinking about other theories. I'm going to put that theory to work because I think that exactly for what you said at the start here which is that physics has ignored this problem for many many decades now there are foundational questions to be asked connecting the wave function of many worlds quantum mechanics to the reality of our world"

What produced the cosmic microwave background radiation?

 

[Muhammed]

There is only one universe.

 

[Dante]

There is only one universe.

Okay. Thank you for playing.

"While it is surely hard for me and I suspect most people to really Embrace a world that is one of many worlds, containing many versions of each of us experiencing many versions of reality, this approach does provide the mathematically leanest and most economical interpretation of the foundational equation of quantum mechanics. Again look, it's important to remind ourselves over and over again if necessary that our intuitions, our predilections for how we assess reality, they have been shaped by hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary history, in which the focus was on successfully navigating the everyday world. And that formative goal is oblique to the far more recent goal of understanding the true nature of reality. So, perhaps we should expect that when confronted with the true nature of reality, our intuition will not be prepared to easily accept it. Now look, this doesn't by any means establish that the many worlds approach to Quantum Mechanics is right, but it does make clear that our inclination to resist such a strange idea is by no means evidence that it is wrong. Okay in the third part of this Quantum reality series of conversations, we will push these ideas farther still with physicist and author Carlo Rovelli. Join me there."

Don't need to. I know the answer. Do you?

I see you have difficulty discerning science from science fiction. It's due to your lack if intelligence.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on the Afterlife, Origins of the Earth and Extreme Weather​

"How could anybody anybody know that there's a heaven, that they're going somewhere, that there's an afterlife. How could anyone know that, it boggles my mind.

"They can believe they know"

"I could believe that it's raining."

"This is the difference between believing something and using the methods and tools of science to establish what is objectively true. And what is objectively true is something that is true outside of your belief system. That's what science is. That's how we can make stuff."

"Do you wonder how it all began?"

"Oh, of course, of course."

"What do you think?"

"Well, so depends on what you mean by it all. There was a day..well no I'm saying...it all could be, how did life get here; how did the Earth get here; how did the Sun, Moon, solar system get here; how'd the Galaxy gets here; How did the Universe get here and so all of our evidence points to a pretty fun beginning of the universe. The Big Bang. We got a term for it. The Big Bang."

"What was there before it?"

"It's a frontier of our investigation and we -- I got top people working on to find out..." insert laughs/humor.

 

[Dante]

Don't need to. I know the answer. Do you?

Then why ask the question?

note: No need to answer as you've struggled before -- with rhetorical questions.

 

[Dante]

What's the true nature of reality?

My reality, your reality, the reality of how trollish you are here on usmb?

To see if you knew the answer... which you don't.

 

[ding]

You brought up the true nature of reality. Don't you know it?

It's fundamental to this conversation. If you don't understand how the CMB was produced, then you can't understand any of the concepts you are trying to share.

 

[Dante]

You brought up the true nature of reality. Don't you know it?

Did I now? Oh I see where you're confused. I shared something an expert in a field was saying, and you thought I was making a claim or something?

You see, since I first came to usmb ages ago, I'd tell people like you over, and over again that I don't pretend to be a scientist. I'll share and think about what real scientists have to say on certain subjects, but I've never really had an interest in arguing science in order to score cheap political points, or -- to inject an ideological agenda into a discussion of scientific issues.

When I do post/comment on subjects like Climate Change, it's almost always something I've learned or have seen on a NASA or other science based website. I do get amused when anonymous individuals on failing message boards (sorry usmb), act like they have been awarded Nobel's for their contributions to science and more.

I had responded to you:
"Go look it up."

And I thought you'd realize anyone can look things up on the subject. Anyone could use references from scientific sites. I guess you want to debate real scientists? What are you doing here?

You know, I used to go to lectures in the Boston area (so many schools/Universities) , and I'd observe people like you in an audience, chomping at the bit to get attention and ask questions or challenge experts -- rather than sit and learn. Usually never ended well.

Your kind are on YouTube videos now, being mocked and laughed at by audiences.
