QM assumes "reversibility", which he demonstrates is impossible [5.4]. This is consistent with your Irreversability Premise, though he uses it to assert that FTL communication is impossible because measurement is the same as entanglement.<br /><br />2. QM formulations depend on "complex numbers", which are combinations of real numbers (1,2,3) and imaginary numbers (multiples of sqrt[-1]), but rather than concluding that QM is fantasy (imaginary numbers don't exist), he concludes that reality is a fantasy (classical correlations are illusions).<br /><br />One interesting thing in his talk is the assertion that QM simply *assumes* impossible things like "supercorrelations" derived from imaginary numbers. Another is that a "Quantum Eraser" produces two <i>different</i> interference patterns, which cancel each other. I haven't quite fathomed the meaning of this observation, but it's novel to me.<br /><br />If there's anything he "disentangles", it's cited in a concluding quote from Cerf and Adami:<br /><br /><i>"... randomness is not an essential cornerstone of quantum measurement but rather an illusion created by it."</i><br /><br />That is: QM doesn't <i>explain</i> random events as a lack of knowledge, but rather it <i>creates</i> randomness by obfuscation.Westmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865166433794584552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202092988208583550.post-76185843896402393612015-11-12T19:10:21.756-08:002015-11-12T19:10:21.756-08:00The mind is a great philosopher.

Life is, there is no question of thought. You can simply jump into it. You can simply experience it.
