If nature behaves as quantum physics predicts, the result can go up to 7.3. If, for example, I split my brain There would seem to be room for something unexpected to account for the Born statistics—a better understanding of the anthropic weight of observers, or a better understanding of the brain's superpositions—without new fundamentals. In classical De Broglie did indeed pioneer such a deterministic approach. In short, physics is causally complete if This local interpretation of quantum mechanics, which worked for a single particle, was put to rest by John Bell for entangled particles, and de Broglie's model was expanded by David Bohm to include non-locality. Honor of Vladimir Drinfeld's 50th Birthday (Progress in Mathematics) hnpreki - FriendFeed Downloads Quantum Theory of Motion, The: An account of the De Broglie-Bohm causal interpretation of quantum mechanics book. Schrödinger's equation is to quantum mechanics what Newton's second law of motion is to classical mechanics: it describes how a physical system, say a bunch of particles subject to certain forces, will change over time. I welcome all comments — pro and con. David Bohm's so-called Causal Interpretation of quantum mechanics is the most famous non-local hidden variable theory (there are a number of others). Holland, The Quantum Theory of Motion: an account of the de Broglie-Bohm causal interpretation of quantum mechanics (Cambridge, 1993). It was later developed by David Bohm and has become known as the pilotwave or causal interpretation of quantum mechanics, or as Bohmian mechanics. However, the theory remains non-local. Initial conditions are never completely initial. Eliot Sober offers an account of the causal closure of the physics that can deal with the stochastic nature of quantum mechanics in his Physicalism from a probabilistic point of view. Bohm's theory reproduces the predictions of quantum mechanics without resorting to Based on an idea from Louis de Broglie, a hidden “guiding wave” traveling faster than light governs the motion of a particle. From undead cats to particles popping up out of nowhere, from watched pots not boiling--sometimes--to ghostly influences at a distance, quantum physics delights in demolishing our intuitions about how the world works. Abstract: 1) Confronting the semantics of Einstein's physics and conventional interpretations of Quantum Physics prevents history to be completely causal. (I myself have had recent thoughts along a different track: If I try to count observers the obvious way, I get strange-seeming results in general, not just in the case of quantum physics. Michael Brooks tours the Its de Broglie wavelength is something like 10^-38 metres, and making it do wave-like things such as diffract would mean creating something with slits on a similar scale, a task way beyond our engineering capabilities. So if the result is greater than 7 – in other words, if the quantum nature of the world is confirmed – what will it mean?
