Re: QM gets personal

The Bell inequality means that if we assume reality, which is there is some existential basis for observables prior to a measurement, then we have nonlocality. On the other hand, with the Wigner friend and the Frauchigger-Renner argument, we can impose locality and have a loss of reality.

Re: Have experimenters just demonstrated multiple realities?

Bell’s theorem demonstrates locality and realism cannot be true of a quantum system. If one performs measurements of observables, eigenvalues that real, then locality does not apply. Wigner’s friend argument illustrates how we can show reality may be abandoned. The following experiment

Re: Carlo Rovelli on the relational interpretation of QM

This is a ψ-epistemic interpretation. It considers all systems as quantum mechanical. In that setting all systems can be needle states or observers. This will then mean a system of observers are on different paths or amplitudes and do not share the same outcome. This is somewhat related to

Re: Topos of Quantum Gravity

I downloaded Doering’s paper. In scanning this I see a mention of Chris Isham, who started this idea of Topos as a category system of physics. I think in a way this might be a way of looking at dualities, where if they have the same category or categorical topology of sheaves then these are

Re: There is no speed limit in the superfluid universe

In a sense with this superfluid an object moving through it does not bump into a lot of atoms. Since all the atoms are in an identical state, this object in effect only runs through one atom. LC On Monday, September 21, 2020 at 10:00:05 AM UTC-5 johnk...@gmail.com wrote: > Researchers report

Kac-Moody algebra and sporadic and monster groups

I want to expand further the role the monster group has, or potentially has, in physics. There is an elegant chain leading from Lie algebra theory to the Klein j-invariant with vertex functions and scattering and then leading up the Fischer-Griess group. The monster may be the smallest part of

The GOP is interested in rushing this through so Don-the-Con t'Rump has a 6 to 3 "voting block" on SCOTUS. A point of concern are state legislatures overruling the popular vote and appointing Trump electors or simply throwing out results. This could well happen in red states that turn blue.

How conformal gravitation conserves entanglement phase and qubits

In this note I indicate how the local transformation gauge-like physics of gravitation can preserve the unitarity of a quantum system, In this there is an identification of the conformal group of spacetime physics or general relativity with an orthogonal gauge group from the Bloch vector, or

Re: Infinity is a theism, and Doron Zeilberger is an atheist.

Infinity is something that is dependent upon the model system you are working with. I tend to work with Hilbert spaces that are finite, but unbounded, or where the quantum states of importance are finite. This is sort of in line with Aristotle's idea of infinity as a potential thing or with

It took a while for me to get to this. The formula f_k(k) = f(k)+1 and g such that you get 0 = 1 appears to be the contradiction one gets with the enumeration of all Gödel numbers. This illustrates in Gödel's first theorem that no axiomatic system can determine its consistency. I am not sure
