I think what James means is things such as the fact that the DNA molecule is formed by chemical bonding, which is determined by the laws of quantum...
There is no "excess" heat. He seems to be just talking about the normal reactivity of molecules due to temperature.
I find this very unpersuasive. His concept of "thermal chaos" sounds unscientific. What can he mean, apart from the slight instability, at least in...
I may do that. I rather like Sabine. And yes indeed, I suppose you are right that exploring all paths is a non-local idea.
My understanding of that is that it is nothing magical but simply that all longer paths interfere with one another destructively. In other words, it...
I recently read Rovelli's book (autographed copy!). His approach is interesting in that he tries to follow Heisenberg, who was inspired by Einstein's...
I'm not sure this is an objection with any consequence. While it seems intuitively odd for a QM entity not to have definite properties in between...
I did not claim our reality is Rovellian. I asked whether the absence of local realism is consistent with the relational interpretation. It may be...
In whose face? Isn't this consistent with Rovelli's relational interpretation?
Fair enough, but those of us who have some mathematical training will probably find that mathematical concepts involving infinity spring to mind when...
This seems to be the old chestnut about time "passing" or "flowing" - ideas that relativity avoids - rather than the dimension of time itself.
Infinity is a comprehensible idea in mathematics. I don't see the idea of infinite time, t ->∞, as any more troublesome than infinite space. One does...
According to my old Herzberg, the selection rule is ΔM= 0, +/-1. In EPR, such transitions are stimulated by microwave radiation. But as I say, I am...
Well it is usually helpful to express oneself clearly, rather than in riddles. If you think time is illusory, I think you need to make your case. The...
I agree that this poster's responses seem to betray either ignorance or prejudice about the nature of religion. But you won't get much sense out of...
See my reply on the other forum. To avoid duplication I won't repeat it here, but will wait to see what James has to say first. (He's the only...
I'll repeat here the reply I made to you on the other forum, since James may be able to comment further: According to my (admittedly rusty)...
By "store of value" it seems you mean a speculative investment in a commodity, like coffee or oil. That's fair, I suppose. But on that basis I'm not...
I'm not sure publications of erroneous papers is scandalous or not. Quite a lot of papers must be published whose research is subsequently found to...
Don't worry. Now we have JJM to the rescue. :confused:
Separate names with a comma.
