Brent Superposition just means we are ignorant of which state a system is in, not that it is in all states simultaneously. This is the meaning of Schrodinger's cat. AG Exactly wrong. Brent IIUC, Bell experiments falsify Einstein Realism, that systems are in states being measured, BEFORE they're measured. Now it's claimed that when a system is in a superposition of states, it is actually in all the states defining the superposition simultaneously. That sounds to me like Einstein Realism on steroids. From what principle of QM does this view have its origin and justification? TY, AG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
