Rob Sheldon: The quantum effects shown in large molecules may make theories like the multiverse testable

Sheldon: "By measuring a hot stream of molecules with billions of states, this experiment may rule out CSL [Continuous Spontaneous Localization]. If so, it would be the first time an interpretation of QM was actually invalidated, suggesting we have entered a new era of testing theories of the foundations of QM." Read More ›

Does the electron “know” of an impending collision?

Researcher: The electron not only receives the expected momentum, but additionally one third of the photon momentum that actually should have gone to the atom nucleus. The sail, (electron), of the boat, (nucleus), therefore "knows" of the impending accident, (collision from the photon), before the cords tear and steals a bit of the boat's (nucleus's) momentum.

Sean Carroll: Physicists don’t even want to understand quantum mechanics

Carroll wants a multiverse out of any new findings, one suspects. One question many might have is, apart from the lack of a multiverse, how bad is the current situation in physics? What, besides that, is going wrong? Read More ›

His view: What this recent paper with a qutrit experiment shows, is that it is possible to do QM communication or QM computing at high volume and high speed. No need to wear headphones. Our view of the universe has not changed. Read More ›

Theoretical physicist: Recent claim about big quantum mechanics find is “silly”

Maybe the main thing to see here is that lots of people would love to falsify or tame quantum mechanics, the way they would like to falsify the Big Bang or fine-tuning and it won't be their fault for lack of trying. Read More ›

Have quantum physics’ problems been disgracefully swept under the carpet?

Possibly, but maybe it’s inherently fuzzy. Meanwhile, an update on Adam Becker’s attack on Inference Review as an ID-friendly rag; Peter Woit and Sabine Hossenfelder weigh in. Read More ›

Video: How Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness Correlate

From Philip Cunningham: Notes: In this present video I would like to further refine and expand on the argument that I made in the “Albert Einstein vs. Quantum Mechanics and His Own Mind” video with more recent experimental evidence from quantum mechanics. and to thus further strengthen the case that the present experimental evidence that we now have from quantum mechanics strongly supports a Mind First and/or a Theistic view of reality, and even, when combined with other scientific evidences that we now have, strongly supports the Christian view of reality in particular. In order to accomplish this task I must first define some properties of immaterial mind which are irreconcilable with the reductive materialistic view of mind that Darwinists Read More ›
