2 fantastic sources on Bell and non-local...Hi Tom,<br /><br />2 fantastic sources on Bell and non-locality are:<br />1) "What Bell Did" - paper by Tim Maudlin. He has lectures on youtube as well. (no maths needed!)<br />2) "Making Sense of Quantum Mechanics" by Bricmont.(Bricmont is a Belgian physicist; he has also interviewed Chomsky.) This book describes quantum mechanics, what Bell did, and the De Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics, In this interpretation, the electron is a little particle, guided by a wave. It is not in two places at once! There is no need to invoke consciousness! The measurement problem disappears! However, the mystery that remains is everything is instantaneously connected. It also shows the incredible group-think among top physicists in protecting the Copenhagen orthodoxy against attacks from Schrodinger, Einstein, Bohm and Bell. You can get a lot of understanding without reading any of the maths, thankfully.<br /><br />But don't get too involved in this stuff; we need you on this site.<br /><br />(another) Paul<br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157145746655344019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-3513507688718268042017-02-08T11:07:04.919-05:002017-02-08T11:07:04.919-05:00Degrees of freedom (mechanics)<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(mechanics)" rel="nofollow">Degrees of freedom (mechanics)</a>Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-9637497484731782602017-02-08T10:40:33.543-05:002017-02-08T10:40:33.543-05:00«freedom» ... anthopogenic projection onto theory....«freedom» ... anthopogenic projection onto theory.
