A new theory of mine. Why sub atomic substances can exists.
Strange replied to manoo's topic in Quantum Theory
Welcome to the forum. This sounds similar to Wheeler's Many Worlds interpretation of quantum theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation -
Citation needed.

How can an equation move? Is all arithmetic moving as well?

Theorizing Factors Behind Quantum Field Phenomena

Then why do you keep tarring all Muslims with the same brush? If you just said "I hate the disgusting things that ISIS are doing", then I doubt anyone would disagree. Instead, you keep making racist, bigoted and moronic statements about all Muslims being killers. By doing this you have become a tool of ISIS, as part of their motivation is to create hatred, fear and distrust. Bollocks. And even if true (which it isn't) they do not represent all Muslims.
-
You are a classic bigot because you are accusing all members of a group (or several groups, as there are different branches of Islam) as behaving the same way as one bunch of (arguably non-Islamic) terrorists. Would you say that all white men are rapists? Or that all Americans are serial killers? I will just put you on my ignore list with the other scum.

So you have your certificate in Cherry Picking. Well done. Why do you think it is acceptable to be such a vile bigot? You need to remove this line from your sig: "Lets keep it friendly and polite!" Or add one saying that you are a hypocrite as well as a bigot.

I agree that one should try and remove beliefs and other psychological biases from science. And the scientific method does a good job of doing that. It doesn't, however, require that scientists have no beliefs. In fact, if they didn't believe in their hypotheses, before they are confirmed, why would they bother trying to test and confirm them. I think they would end up coming up with an idea and then saying, "but I have no reason to believe it is right, so I'll just forget about it." And science would grind to a halt. There is also a world outside science where beliefs are important. So, it seems to me that you are wrong in every possible way. I am going to carry on with my belief I will survive another day. (And year. And decade.) I don't think you understand what the uncertainty principle says.

And I think a marriage is a legally sanctioned partnership between two people. Their sexual orientation doesn't come into it. It is called democracy. And no one is being "trampled". No one is forcing people to enter same-sex marriages. Therefore, it is OK to change it. Seeing as the UK has chosen to cause havoc by leaving the EU based on a 52% majority, I don't think it is unreasonable to change a law when 65% approve. No one's rights are being violated.

Of course not. What is wrong with you? Can you guarantee that I will be alive tomorrow? Or next week? Or next year? Based on evidence? I certainly can't. (Apparently, I have an 11% chance of dying in the next 10 years.) You do need to trust data. And the peer review process. And the repeatability and replicability of results. If you don't trust anything then you can never know anything with any confidence. You are in a world of ignorance and uncertainty. Or in a world of false confidence where you think you know things for certain, even though the evidence may not support it. (Either of those might explain quite a lot about your pretentious posts.)

A logical approach to gravity at the quantum level
Strange replied to mantraphilter's topic in Speculations
It seems to be a common delusion amongst those who have come up with their own "theory" that others will want to steal it. They won't. Because coming up with ideas is easy. The hard part is making them into testable hypotheses, and then testing them. (And it is nonsense.) -
As you have provided no evidence to support this assertion, I think we can dismiss it as a baseless opinion. Try to be less condescending when people disagree with your baseless opinions.

You would need a visa to visit the USA, Japan, China and probably most countries outside Europe. In many cases, these are automatically granted to people from certain countries, and so you don't have to apply in advance. You just get a visitors visa when you arrive (e.g. USA [for the moment] and Japan). For other countries (China?) you need to apply in advance.

Jeez. Yes, religious beliefs are beliefs, but not all beliefs are religious. You need to see if a local college has an introductory class in logic. Jesus H Christ. Maybe that college will do a reading comprehension course as well. I am going to type this slowly, so you have a chance of understanding it. I am not talking about the probability of tomorrow occurring. That is a given. I. AM. NOT. TALKING. ABOUT. THE. PROBABILITY. OF. TOMORROW. Get it? What I said was: There is no scientific evidence to say whether I will be alive tomorrow or not. So, I prefer to believe that I will be. It makes life easier. So, yes, beliefs are a necessary part of surviving in a world with unknowns. Some people belief that everyone is good, others belief that everyone is wicked. They live their lives according to these beliefs. You have not yet presented these empirical results. You have simply repeated your assertions (a.k.a. beliefs). Yes, we have to trust that the measurements we make, the data we get, etc. are reliable and objective (in some sense) and can be used to test our hypotheses.

It is not an experiment, as it is completely unquantified. Like many such classroom demonstrations it is pretty much bogus. For example, the teacher has to continually provide input to keep the ball spinning. As such, they control the speed of the spin. They could, if they chose, make it spin faster when long. So it also a good demonstration of the teaching technique called "lies to children".
-
I didn't say anything about tomorrow coming. (Although it is implicit.) There is no scientific evidence to say whether I will be alive tomorrow or not. So, I prefer to believe that I will be. It makes life easier. Anyway, about that evidence... could you provide some? All it shows is that you believe those things to be true. I find the arguments extremely unconvincing. Especially given the lack of scientific evidence to support your beliefs. You are grossly misrepresenting that paper in order to support your beliefs. It does not say anything about beliefs in general and intelligence, but is specifically about religiosity. (But congratulations for at least attempting to provide some evidence.)

Question about the delayed choice quantum eraser
Strange replied to Dave Moore's topic in Quantum Theory
Are you thinking of super determinism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdeterminism -
So you are suggesting we discard thousands of highly accurate experiments based on your impressions of something you saw on yootoob? That is not how science works.
-
Sorry. I missed that. Could you say which post this evidence was in (or post a link to it again). Do you have any evidence that belief leads to delusions? (I don't really know what you mean by "neuroscience parlance".) Well, thanks (and congratulations) on finally providing some references. However, as far as I can tell, all that says is that delusions are a class of beliefs. But not all beliefs are delusional. I believe I will still be alive tomorrow. That is not (I hope!) a delusional belief.

A vague description of a hypothetical experiment with no measurements being made does not invalidate a well established theory. If you were to do some actual measurements and demonstrate that momentum is not conserved then you could be on your way to a Nobel Prize.

Question about the delayed choice quantum eraser
Strange replied to Dave Moore's topic in Quantum Theory
Reverse causality is an explanation of the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment. (It is an interpretation of quantum theory; one of many.) SO I'm not sure why determinism would be needed (or how it would come into it).
