    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    How? The photon never interacts with it. :p

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    If it was always a packet, and always had one trajectory, why does the spacing between the two slits make a difference? How can the photon know about slits it hasn't passed through?

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    You're thinking of de Broglie-Bohm theory, which doesn't work. A photon is a single unified object, which is neither particle or wave.

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    How can the photon interefere with itself if it only has one trajectory?

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    Watch this, and be enlightened: dEaecUuEqfc The Quantum Conspiracy: What Popularizers of QM Don't Want You to Know - YouTube It explains quite neatly how measurement and entanglement are the same thing [ohai Legion], and also why the universe we see is consistent. Also, it is possible to...

    What You will say to God seeing Him so so so beautiful ?

    "Why were you so vague?"

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    Only if physics is ontologically deterministic.

    Black Israelites believe in Heliocentrism (Sun orbits around Earth)

    No matter which way you look at it, the center of mass between the Earth and Sun is under the Sun's surface.

    Physical Science vs. Living Sciences

    We have such constants because some of the units we conventially measure in are not natural. :p

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    Our "complete" knowledge of the system cannot give us a deterministic answer, therefore it is not complete? :p

    Evidence

    Unless time is infinitely long and/or forms loops.

    Free will and self awareness

    Self-modifying programs are still deterministic. If the universe were not deterministic, one would say, they intend, or they plan. They will implies a definite future.

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    I mean no offense, nor do I mean to accuse you of intellectual dishonesty. However, your responses to my posts seem logically disconnected from what you're responding to. Perhaps you are so much more intelligent than me that you can head my argument off at a pass I didn't realize I was heading...

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    I don't see how you can possibly define addition, subtraction, multiplication and division differently for real/complex-valued functions in any useful way. I think you're just making distinctions without a difference if you say that a structure that is defined solely by its field properties...

    Free will and self awareness

    Self-awareness is not a veto over determinism, only a high-order effect of it. You were destined to question your own motivations. :D

    Demystifying Quantum Physics

    Because I think intelligence is a very well-defined thing that the universe does not have? :shrug:

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    You're either quote-mining, or seriously misreading my posts again. That second sentence refers to the inner product function, not anything to do with square-integrable function space. Also, the square integrable functions are a field, and thus we can quite easily build a space wherein each...

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    :D This one: I did not understand that at all. Can you rephrase it? :shrug: The reason it was useful was because we were dealing with polynomials fit to data, where we did have dp/dx(0). (Or, Δp(0) ) I don't see how the two parts of this sentence connect to one another? :shrug: I am...

    Einstein and "spooky actions"

    Oh, that's true. Do it on Z_52 instead, then. (Interesting that you didn't spot that fractional cards don't make much sense.) If that still doesn't work, then clearly its not actually as good an idea as you suggested. You've never seen a polynomial written like this? Maybe my Lin. Alg...
