It may be inadequate, but the consequences of quantum theory still apply without having to add new postulates. Among those consequences is many worlds.

Except we do observe interference effects. I'm not sure what you mean.

Guess that's what happens when you shut down safe, cheap, emissions-free sources of electricity for nonsense ideological reasons (nuclear power plants).

I'll have to look into those derivations. Thanks. > There is an additional postulate, namely that the state vector is the real world we inhabit. Well, yes, it's a model for the physical world. Refusing to accept that the state

In QM, evolution is unitary. The Born Rule is an empirical observation that is adequately explained by the decoherence of a quantum system into entangled states of observer, environment, measurement apparatus and the system being measured.

Of course. I assume that in those papers, she demonstrates a similar lack of understanding of the details. Or that she doesn't research on quite the same things she talks about in her public-facing content. Someday I'll get around

I didn't commit an ad hominem fallacy. I did not say that her blog is invalid because of her character. I was just commenting on her character (actually more so on her work tbh). i.e. an insult is not an ad hominem. This is an ad homi

Nobody does that. We follow the math and the experimental results. There is friction against accepting what the results tell us, which is the odd thing.

Why is GR required? Already in standard QFT (Minkowski metric; flat spacetime; special relativity) the propagator 'violates causality'. Although that phrasing is misleading; it doesn't mean there's any logical inconsiste

> Superdeterminism, arguably misnamed, simply argues that QM is deterministic This is incorrect. QM is already deterministic. Where oh where do people get the idea that it is not?

Well if they insist on expressing the dynamics of the universe as the minimisation of a global (or local) action functional, then they are already throwing in the towel because that implies a wavefunction of the universe. I'm suspiciou

Totally agree. It's therapeutic to read this. Last I checked, many-worlds is a consequence of current quantum theory, not a postulate or additional axiom. Yet people treat it like such. Probably because it's 'spooky'. Th

Well if you're doing fermionic thermal field theory sure (where the `integral' on Grassmann numbers is just some linear operation which satisfies certain properties). But apart from that I thought all the thermodynamic quantities

Nice concept, but the sounds are audibly not Poisson-distributed. Rookie mistake.

Whatever benefit you perceive in gaming the current inflation rate is most likely cancelled by the massively inflated house prices from everyone else having the same idea. Market is efficient, remember? So you sold the bank a bond with an i

Ah, so a US citizen living in the middle of nowhere learned something by seeing civilisation. This is an example of why the OP asked for more details. Now I know that your experience isn't applicable to a lot of people who already live

Okay, where can I find a summary of the relevant legislation, or is something to this effect written in the T&C?

I feel that you do not understand the magnitude of difficulty behind what you are attempting. You seem to think it's going to be a breeze; that you can solve all the problems that the MOOCs around haven't been able to solve. And y

I must admit I really only had a cursory glance. I didn't want to read the article as I already know how to use the basic commands. It's entirely possible I'm just a dummy and didn't see an obvious link. I wouldn't

Hi, I had a quick look at the post and it didn't seem that it was part of a canonical series of posts. That may room for improvement on the website design.

Article titled _How to Manipulate Files and Strings from the Terminal_ does not mention terminal-based text editors. Brushing that aside, it also does not feature `cp`, `rm`, `find` or `git`...

You have described a system of learning consisting only of pre-manufactured content. I feel like the success of this venture is based on an improbable premise: that an education in physics is possible by listening without the opportunity to
