From a non-physicists (but interested layman) point of view. It appears from this and other threads that it serves little purpose in using common language to describe QM. It appears to be only describable using mathematics. Our language serves only to misdirect or mislead when attempting to...
Hi
I was watching a TV program about QM on BBC4 given by Jim Khalili. I am a little confused by two aspects. First, he attempted to draw an analogy about polarisation of entangled particles always being opposite when measured, by using a card game where a dealer deals cards in pairs. I think it...
Ah OK. So suggesting that exciting electrons in a diamond on Earth forces electrons the other side of the Universe to alter their state so that they remain anti-symmetrized is theoretically correct, but in reality the impact is so tiny, its immeasurable. It only becomes measurable (and therefore...

I saw a series of threads on a Twitter discussion posted about a year ago concerning Brian Cox and some other physicists concerning a statement made by Cox that the...
