Dale Kelly - 05 Apr 2007 00:14 GMT all the uncertainity principle says is that you cannot measure the location and momentum of a particle at the same time
it says NOTHING about randomness, in fact it says that you CANNOT even know if it is random or not, because you cannot measure it
this is an example of just how far the mainstream of science can stray from ethics

In fact, it is now understood that a particle simply does not HAVE a well-defined position and momentum simultaneously. It is a wave function dispersed through phase space as long as it is not being observed or measured.
So yes, in fact, you CAN know whether it is random or not -- and the answer depends on which of two different kinds of 'randomness' you are referring to. It is *not* random in the sense that the spread of the wave function happens according to well-understood statistical laws, but it *is* random in the sense that it is impossible to predict exactly what individual result within that statistical spread you will find when you measure it.
Which, by the way, you obviously can do, of course. The whole point of the uncertainty principle is what happens when you measure it. Saying it says 'you cannot measure it' is like saying thermodynamics implies you can't heat anything. What it says is that the more precise your measurement of position the less precisely you can measure momentum, and vice versa -- because the product of the uncertainties of the two measurements must always be greater than or equal to Planck's constant over 2 times pi.
In short ... YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND A f.cking THING ABOUT QUANTUM THEORY! STOP f.cking TALKING ABOUT IT LIKE YOU DO! EVERY SINGLE THING YOU HAVE SAID IS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, AND IN AN INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS WAY, EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT'S JUST MEANINGLESS NONSENSE!
Is that clear enough for you??
> this is an example of just how far the mainstream of science can stray > from ethics 1) Science and ethics are two entirely different disciplines. Science by its very nature is incapable of answering any question of ethics.
2) What in the f.ck are you even talking about?? What does the uncertainty principle and randomness have to do with ethics??
Do you really think you can just string together a bunch of unrelated words that sound vaguely 'philosophical' and end up saying something meaningful?

Dale Kelly - 05 Apr 2007 01:45 GMT > it is now understood that a particle simply does not HAVE a well-defined > position and momentum simultaneously-- WRONG, the uncertainty principle says you will ALWAYS be uncertain and that NO explanation, even randomness, can arise
there is a DIFFERENCE between randomness and uncertainty, uncertainty says you CANNOT even know if it is random
this whole randomness bunk is an assumption and conjecture, since it CANNOT be tested, since you cannot measure the location and momentum simultaneously, by the uncertainty principle, and if events are random they cannot be reproduced and tested, therefore randomness with always be hypothethical, a hypothesis, not a theory, let alone a founded theory

It's a truism that a sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. The Dalek has not educated himself and there's no reason to believe he ever will. Once one has built castles in the air there's a real incentive to close one's eyes to anything that conflicts with that flight plan.
Let him go on babbling to himself, is my advice.

but basically bell's theorem states that given certain assumptions about local realism contextuality compositionality definitions of spin properties ... in a two-state system with perfect anticorrelation then one has for the 2-correlations
1 + C(2, 3) >= | C(1, 2) - C(1, 3) |
this "theorem" is then shown to violate quantum mechanics
there were actually a number of assumptions in the original
over the years the theorem has been generalised and the core mathematical attributes used have been analysed
the most important issue identified and studied has been the assumption of locality which a number of hidden variable interpretations do not share
additionally compositionality and contextuality have been researched and the assumptions on systems descriptions analysed
a large number of conferences have been held exploring these issues and a number of proceedings should be available in your local university library

unless i am misreading you i am under the impression you claimed bells theorem proved randomness
bohm's theory is a completely deterministic quantum interpretation
it has an ontology where there is a particle at a point in space at all times that this set of locations is actually a trajectory
the copenhagen interpretation is completely probabilistic
both violate bell's inequality
this is because their predictions are completely isomorphic

Quantum physicists say so. Quantum physicists actually know something about quantum theory. You do not. Ergo, I will take the word of the quantum physicists for it.

If you claim to speak from authority then neing ignorant is bad, but curable. Being ignorant *after* you've been educated means you're a moron. Stupidity is incurable.
This is one reason people make fun of creationists - they're ignorant even after they've been spoon-fed information. That means they're idiots. Thanks for the demonstration.

Profanity exists in the English language for a reason. It expresses strong emotion. The utter vapidity, blatant inaccuracy, and nonsensical illogic of your posts, where you pretend you know something about quantum theory when you clearly don't know the first thing about it, evoke strong emotion in me.
(Not to mention that I went out of my way to demonstrate the bankruptcy of your 'ideas' by rationality and logic *before* I resorted to profanity.)
Quantum theory is a beautiful thing. You dirty it by invoking its name in your absurd pseudointellectual rants. Therefore, you have earned every profanity I have typed.

I can very well understand and sympathise with Sean - even a saint may get hopping mad at being subjected to such heaps of BS that you have been blessing this group with for a long time now. If you know with such certainty that what you believe is correct while the world's top notch scientists, including Stephen W. Hawking and Robert B. Laughlin and thousands of other therotical physicists are dead wrong, you should go into therotical physics professionally. Overturning science, just like Einstein did, you may be certain of a Nobel Prize.
Now just tell us why you won't do that, or cease and desist from spreading any more BS. We prefer idiots before morons here.

Uncertainty is a natural phenomena of wave motion whether it be classical or quantum. Certainly, randomness and order exist both in classical and quantum domains.

talk about non sequiturs...what the hell does science have to do with ethics?
what the uncertainty principle says is that one conjugate variable...and they are not limited to location and momentum...can not be measured to a specified precision without affecting the other variable...

This claim is simply wrong.
The first axiom of quantum mechanics states that all the information that exists is encapsulated within the wave function. (Yes, I know this is a weird thing to assume, but there you have it).
The second axiom states that the wave function must be an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian.
It has been observed that it is impossible to craft a wave function that fully defines both the position and momentum of a particle. This is "impossible" in the same sense that it is impossible to find an angle whose sine and cosine are both zero.
The uncertainty principly quantifies this observation: for any wave function that can be created, the product of the uncertainty in momentum times the uncertainty in position is at least h-bar/2 (Planck's constant over 4 pi).
The crucial point, which a lot of people miss, is in the first axiom. Reworded, it states that if a certain piece of information cannot be encapsulated within the wave function, then that information DOES NOT EXIST.
Logically, this leads to the conculstion that quantum mechanics predicts that for any given particle, the exact position and momentum do not simultaneously exist. Not "we cannot measure the exact position and momemtum", but these two quantities cannot simulataneously exist.
Now, there is a fundamental difference between a theory that states that information does not exist, and a theory that states that the information is merely inaccessilble. These latter theories are called "hidden variable" theories, with the notion that the missing information is encapsulated in hidden variables which cannot be observed.
Common sense tells us that these hidden variable theories must be correct and that quantum mechanics must be wrong. It is clearly absurd to assume that a particle's exact position and momentum do not exist. It is much more reasonable to assume that we just have trouble measuring them.
Well, TOO BAD. Common sense is wrong. Reality is absurd. Many, many experiments have been performed to test quantum mechanics, and quantum mechanics has been shown to be correct. Experiments have been performed to test the "hidden variable" hypothesis, and that hypothesis has been shown to be inconsistent with reality. Reality is quantum mechanical and some information simply does not exist.
The conclusion is that the exact position and momentum of a particle do not simultaneously exist. Again, as I said, this has been shown experimentally that it must be the case. This conclusion is not a philosophy or an interpretation; it is the only explanation that is consistent with reality.
And I would certainly think that the result of an attempt to measure a quantity that does not exist would qualify as "random".

What you have said is true, that there is no classical trajectory (x(t),p(t)).
But that does not imply randomness in the full sense.
If I can model everything including measurements with the Schroedinger equation, then QM is by definition deterministic as the Schroedinger equation is deterministic. Though what is deterministic is the evolution of the quantum state and not the evolution of classical trajectories. Measurements are then considered to be effectively random & irreversible in a kind of Brownian sense. The measurements would be interactions between the quantum system and a classical measuring device/environment. One cannot track the Avogadro's number of variables in the classical system, so the result of this interaction would be effectively random & irreversible even if it were classical.
Else if the measurements are truly random, then they cannot be fully described with the Schroedinger equation and we do not know the full theory that would. One would have to admit that the Schroedinger equation really only applies to small, isolated systems.

what he said is not true
it is possible to give classical trajectories
polar decompose the wave function
the real part gives an ensemble conservation equation the imaginary part gives the hamilton-jacobi for the trajectories

that limit in bohmian mechanics explains quantum chaos calculations much better and completely than any copenhagen limit behavior

dale kelly who apparently has some kind of agenda that people are upset at posted a point on randomness and quantum mechanics
there are many ways to approach his post
one could for instance point out that the yes/no randomness ( either something is random or it is not ) of the OP corresponds to what others call determinism
randomness that is measurable ( this is random of measure .23... ) like kolmogorov complexity applies to classical systems as well as quantum and gives a more intuitive notion of the relation to expectation
those are the types of valid observations i'd expect from a scientific response
however i saw outright falsehoods being promoted as fact and others following up with " good point! "
ken kelly came in with a chopped up and distorted axiomatics of quantum mechanics probably taken out of some horrid excuse for a textbook like griffiths attempting to even state trajectories couldn't exist and claiming there had been many many tests that had disproved hidden variable theories and showing quantum mechanics correct
i assume he was talking of the aspect-like experiments but who knows maybe he was talking of tests like those proposed by ghose concerning symmetries in bohmian mechanics
it doesn't really matter because no experiment has "disproved" bohmian mechanics
yet
i'm not claiming its not possible
this just happens to be a field a keep a close eye on
and then you came in chris fleming and agreed with what ken kelly said but then tried to make a point that sounds close to distinguishing types of randomness
in the process though you restated claims against the trajectory
i came in and corrected these misunderstandings because i am very concerned about intellectual dishonesty of this kind and post about it regularly
you made some vague claim about nonlocality that you felt resolved the issue and elsewhere pointed to expectation values on more complex functions than single variable
when i pointed out both such observations were again incorrect
you accused me of not knowing the literature
when i pointed out that i have an easily searchable history on bohmian mechanics on the newsgroups including extensions of bohminisations to quantum field theory quantum gravity superstrings noncommutative geometry
with references to articles in my posts derivations in my posts ...
you've decided to narrow down keep your comments vague and still sound disapproving
yes as your last post claims you have changed the topic to "nonlocality of QM" and something vague about the classical limit
bohmians prefer to take the classical limit by pointing out their "quantum potential" is the only thing that makes their trajectories nonclassical and that as this goes to zero classical hamilton-jacobi equations are recovered
but the h->0 behavior is also interesting and is explored some in quantum chaos research
which i pointed out
your avoidance reaction will i am sure find some other "topic" that makes it sound like you understand the literature
so you can still attempt to save face for your intellectual dishonesty but really
you are already showing the same signs that made me realise bilge was hopelessly self-justifying despite his obvious intelligence and ability to understand
you too had always seemed intelligent...

Now what nonlocality could I have possibly been talking about? I hinted at the difference in the very nature of the Bohmian equations of motions when you take hbar to zero.
In classical mechanics the classical trajectory is a curve in phase space that describes the evolution of a pure state. The evolution is simplectic. In standard quantum mechanics, things are not the same. There is no such classical trajectory.
Now you are the one that made the gigantic claim that Bohmian mechanics gives you a classical trajectory. You are the one that needs to back it up. As far as I am concerned, this is either crazy talk, or you are really stretching the full meaning of a "classical trajectory". I would be beyond astounded if you could provide me with a paper that shows I am wrong.

hmmmmm....
since i've already addressed the scientific definition of nonlocality as used in all of the conference proceedings i've read on it you must be meaning the chris definition
and unfortunately i don't have my mind reader working to try to fathom uses different from the scientific community
> I > hinted at the difference in the very nature of the Bohmian equations > of motions when you take hbar to zero. let me foolishly try your game since you enjoy not stating what you mean with the purpose of sounding knowledgable and mysterious
some quantities in quantum mechanics do not make sense in the limit h -> 0
that is true of all quantum interpretations because all must derive the same predictions
however in bohmian mechanics the dynamics are described as a classical evolution of point particles
as with all such evolutions they are flows in the state space and obey the louiville formalism of ensemble flow
the evolution of these ensemble flows are described in a classical hamilton-jacobi that is in fact the classical hamilton-jacobi with an additional term
that term is sometimes called the quantum potential
it goes to zero in the h -> 0 limit under hypotheses on the form of the dynamics that they make classical sense
so that equation reduces exactly to the classical!
hmm..
that couldn't be what you meant since that validates my claims...
in fact this is one place where geometric quantisation has many similarities to bohmian mechanics in the algebraic formalism
the copenhagen interpretation suffers much greater flaws
it doesn't have a particle existing at all times so it still suffers from all the quantum observation issues
wigner's friend... in that limit
> In classical mechanics the classical trajectory is a curve in phase > space that describes the evolution of a pure state. The evolution is > simplectic. In standard quantum mechanics, things are not the same. > There is no such classical trajectory. you must certainly be talking about semi-classical regimes
there exists a well-known classical limit in bohmian mechanics that reproduces exactly the classical hamilton-jacobi
period
in all other regimes bohmian flow does not obey some of the classical symmetries in completely unobservable ways
the unobservable is more interesting than the classical
bohmian trajectories are also not specially covariant but that doesn't stop them from being able to completely reproduce consistently relativistic quantum field theory
not all classical trajectories are symplectic nor are all classical trajectories lorentz covariant
what does this have to do with nonlocality?
notice how you seem to agree there are trajectories in a consistent interpretation of quantum mechanics trajectories with positions at all times and momenta at all times and have tried to change the argument to some other topic?
do you see that?
its called an avoidance mechanism

the literature is full of papers on this
here's one:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0611032
now i'm sure you've probably included baggage into your definition of "classical trajectory" so you can keep on arguing
but you will look foolish if it has anything to say other than a particle with real position and real momentum obeying a classical state-space flow in the louiville formalism
because that is what you agreed to when answering ken kelly

And by the way, section 3.3 of this paper is wrong. It as well as it's reference assumes that the wave function collapse must happen either simultaneously with or after the measurement reading takes place, (or never). Amazing that none of these authors could imagine that the classical measuring device just might collapse the wave before it's able to make it's reading.

this is standard
nearly every paper on bohmian mechanics says this explicitly and the very few remaining say it implicitly

the model actually gives a means of arriving at this classical limit
none of the other interpretations do
" quantum chaos? i thought the equations were linear... "
yes the bohmian models have good information in that limit...
there's even a nice literature on this...

bohmian mechanics is a completely consistent hidden variable model that gives position and momentum to every particle at every time
the only hidden variable models ruled out are local theories with a certain form of compositionality that is completely mathematically defined

there is an initial postulate of the theory that the ensemble distribution obeys the same statistics as the wave function
the conservation equation then maintains this agreement and observations are explained in the theory through a basic evolution description to maintain this agreement over observations
all of this is just the mathematical formalism of the interpretation
one doesn't say relativity is " rigged " to solve the twin " paradox " unless one is trying to build sympathy for an opposing position
as for helping myself doing mathematical manipulations
the point behind looking at alternate interpretations is because there are serious gaps in explanatory power and coherent explanation in the standard copenhagen interpretation
in particular it is the copenhagen interpretation that has the difficulty in describing what " observation " means

it is that lack which is the fuel for so much pop-physics speculation on relationships between quantum theory and consciousness

Then you can look up the Bohmian rebuttals to these discrepancies. Proper expectation values of complicated things in Bohmian mechanics do require what I refer to as "rigging". Weather or not it is rigging is debatable, but you just don't seem to know what I am talking about.

i've read all those papers a number of times in the past
i had a huge argument with bilge lasting over a hundred posts on these newsgroups where i explained in excruciating detail _all_ of those such disagreements
i am not ignorant of the literature here
but fine you've found your crutch to ignore
at that point you stop with the discussion and have made your mind up
very unscientific

And give it a half life which merely says it will probably decay in such a time. If you have 2 atoms with the same half life you cannot know which will decay first so this is a good example of randomness
 Signature Q: Why did the tachyon cross the road? A: Because it was on the other side.

Oy! That's a good one!
