An Anti-Quantum Crackpot Article Inwards Quanta Magazine

The Quanta Magazine hasn't been hijacked yesteryear anti-quantum zealots for some fourth dimension but this hiatus was compensated yesterday when

Quantum Theory Rebuilt From Simple Physical Principles

written yesteryear Philip Ball was released. Well, yes, fifty-fifty though crackpots by as well as large honour this unproblematic quest difficult to understand, quantum theory is built on unproblematic physical principles – they are known every bit the universal postulates of quantum mechanics.




It goes on:

Scientists receive got been using quantum theory for almost a century now, but embarrassingly they nonetheless don’t know what it means. An informal poll taken at a 2011 conference on Quantum Physics as well as the Nature of Reality showed that there’s nonetheless no consensus...

Scientists who are upwards to their undertaking receive got known what quantum mechanics agency since 1925 or 1926. The fact that there's no "consensus" doesn't imply that scientists don't know what quantum mechanics means. The non-existence of consensus follows from the fact that the stupid people receive got been asked what they holler back nearly a theory that dramatically surpasses their intellectual abilities. How could they agree? They can't concur because they can't empathise because they are stupid.

Science has zero to create with "consensus".




Also:

Some physicists but shrug as well as say nosotros receive got to alive with the fact that quantum mechanics is weird. So particles tin travel inwards 2 places at once, or communicate instantaneously over vast distances?

Quantum mechanics is not weird. Particles tin never travel at 2 places at in i trial – 2 positions are mutually exclusive (the set eigenstates are orthogonal which follows from the Hermiticity of the set operator), as well as physical systems never interact instantaneously over vast distances which follows from the relativistic causality as well as locality. So every unmarried contestation inwards a higher house is but wrong.

But some researchers desire to dig deeper.

On the contrary, they desire to dig shallower. Their skulls exclusively incorporate feces as well as they would honey to transform physics to their picture as well as then that it would travel also composed of zero else than feces. But that's non possible. Physics has genuinely gotten deeper inwards 1925 as well as the previous, shallower, classical framework of physics was ruled out. The falsification of hypotheses is irreversible as well as then the shallower film tin never return. Get used to it, idiots.

"I holler back it powerfulness aid us motility towards a theory of quantum gravity," said Lucien Hardy...

One tin exclusively honour something nearly quantum gravity if he studies quantum gravity. Lucien Hardy has never genuinely done whatsoever such query which is a unproblematic argue why he hasn't always flora anything interesting nearly quantum gravity. He's but talking nearly nonsense. Quantum mechanics tin manifestly travel done inwards non-gravitating systems – with no references to gravity – as well as then thinking nearly its full general foundations can't travel plenty to larn something nearly quantum gravity.

The Flimsy Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Right. You haven't said how much you lot loathe quantum mechanics for several seconds as well as then hither nosotros travel again.

...driver who, lost inwards rural Ireland, asks a passer-by how to acquire to Dublin. “I wouldn’t commencement from here,” comes the reply.

Not really funny as well as non relevant at all.

"I holler back quantum theory every bit nosotros know it volition non stand" – H5N1 crackpot

Again, you lot haven't written how much you, crackpots, loathe quantum mechanics, for 2 seconds. So hither nosotros travel again.

But this so-called dominion for calculating probabilities was genuinely but an intuitive guess yesteryear the High German physicist Max Born. So was Schrödinger’s equation itself.

Oh, really? It's interesting that both men receive got earned a Nobel prize inwards physics for these "just tiny intuitive pieces of junk" as well as they're genuinely alongside the most of import Nobel prize discoveries ever. These are alongside the most key as well as most reliable as well as accurate discoveries of scientific discipline always – it's your encephalon that is a pile of feces instead.

Neither was supported yesteryear rigorous derivation.

You can't genuinely always "derive" the deepest axioms from something deeper. If something deeper existed, they wouldn't travel the deepest axioms.

Quantum mechanics seems largely built of arbitrary rules similar this, some of them — such every bit the mathematical properties of operators that check to observable properties of the organization — rather arcane.

Again, the axioms of quantum mechanics await arbitrary as well as arcane to you lot because you're a bunch of stupid animals.

It’s a complex framework, but it’s also an advertizing hoc patchwork, lacking whatsoever obvious physical interpretation or justification.

You receive got exclusively written 87 hostile lies against modern physics as well as then far, way every bit good little, right?

Compare this with the basis rules, or axioms, of Einstein’s theory of particular relativity, ...

If you're non an idiot as well as you lot compare them, you lot volition conclude that the axioms of quantum mechanics are deeper, to a greater extent than revolutionary, as well as to a greater extent than universally valid than those of relativity.

“Quantum theory tin travel seen every bit a generalized probability theory, an abstract matter that tin travel studied detached from its application to physics,” Chiribella said.

What a new discovery. Why didn't you lot larn these basic facts from whatsoever textbook published unopen to 1930?

“We tin await for probabilistic theories that are similar to quantum theory but differ inwards specific aspects,” said...

You tin await but you lot won't always honour anything interesting – but similar you lot as well as similar anti-quantum zealots haven't flora anything interesting inwards the previous ninety years.

In this view, the basis isn’t saltation yesteryear rules — or at least, non yesteryear quantum rules.

There are no laws of Nature as well as everyone is high, everyone is a hippie. Sure.

It's but amazing how this anti-scientific garbage is beingness pumped into the readers all the time. H5N1 prevarication that is repeated 100 times becomes the truth according to these šitty people. The repetitiveness of this text is but incredible. The quote nearly "a prevarication repeated 100 times" looks similar a hyperbole but inwards this article, it seems similar an accurate estimate. The contestation that the author hates quantum mechanics is really repeated nearly 100 times.
