dieadderalls Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 I've been reading about Quantum Mechanics, and the double slit experiment. As much as the Copenhagen interpretation is compelling I have to say I'd trust Einstein more than Bohr, because he's a pretty dope dude (check out what he said about consciousness). I have a few questions and it'd be awesome if anyone can answer: - Do the many-minds theories/ universe decaying to a new vacuum theories conflict with the Copenhagen interpretation?- Is the wave function collapse triggered directly by observation?- Bell's Inequality demands a non-deterministic universe. Since philosophy is pretty set in hard determinism (arguments for soft determinism are p. weak and for compatibilism it's just pointing out that they can be interpreted as kind of the same thing) doesn't this invalidate Bell's Theorem? that's just me asking for a summary of Quantum Physics innit :/anyway, I say do what you want, she says do what you will. Ooh also, if the many-minds theory is true, the only way we can measure the Quantum events (which are waves, not particles) is to alter them. Supposing that this is also true, could particles be a part of the anthropomorphic principle and just be limits to our understanding due to our "mentality". Quote
