Quantum-mechanical description of reality is complete!
Posted: Tue Jun 04, 2019 9:21 am
Dear friends:
As you all know, Richard Gill and Joy Christian have agreed to my mediating and moderating the Bell/EPR symposium which has been discussed on some other threads here at SPF and elsewhere. And, as I have also said on these other threads, in this role, I felt it important to undertake a detailed study of what quantum mechanics teaches about the strong singlet correlations, and locality and realism, which would become my advance paper contribution to the symposium.
I now have completed a first complete draft of the first four sections of that paper, which for review and feedback, I have uploaded to:
https://jayryablon.files.wordpress.com/ ... -4.1-1.pdf
Here is the title:
Directly-observable versus observably-consequential elements of reality and the uncertainty principle: Why quantum mechanics — properly understood — is a realistic and complete hidden variable theory of the natural world
Here is the abstract:
Using intrinsic spin as the simplest possible example of the uncertainty principle, we show, at least for this example, in answer to the title question posed by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR), how and why the quantum mechanical description of reality is complete. Subsequent revisions of this paper will study the question of locality.
I look forward to good feedback and good discussion.
Jay
