The Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
85A look at the four main interpretations of quantum mechanics, and what they imply about the nature of reality.
The interpretations I look at are:
1) The Copenhagen interpretation;
2) The John von Neumann interpretation;
3) Hidden Variables theories;
4) The Many Worlds interpretation.
I also consider briefly a recent idea that entangled particles may be connected by wormholes, but I am skeptical about the theory. I argue that the latter two interpretations and the wormhole theory are primarily desperate attempts to save parts of classical physics, and as such are unlikely to be correct. The Copenhagen interpretation fails the logic test as it doesn't have any way of objectively defining what an observer is, so we are left with von Neumann's interpretation: consciousness is a non-physical, fundamental feature of reality.
ABOUT ALPHATUCANA
This channel is about 'waking up' from our matrix-induced slumber, and about leaving the World a better place than we found it. For most of us, our powers and motivation are strictly limited. We are fundamentally alone in a vast and mysterious Universe, but In the struggle to survive, to 'succeed', or to just get by, we sometimes forget the bigger picture, and we sometimes forget to just relax for a while and remember what an amazing World this is. There is plenty to look at: science, Nature, society... And there are plenty of games to help us get away from it all... So on this channel, I vlog about science, Nature, enlightenment, current affairs and much else besides, I upload sightseeing videos showing London, England, or my holidays elsewhere, and I upload gameplay videos. So why not join in for a while and see what you think?
POSTING SCHEDULE
This depends in part on whether I have had time to record videos in between going to work and living the rest of my life! Usually it runs like this:
- Sat or Sun: a vlog or sightseeing video at midday (UK time).
- Gameplay videos: pretty random - typically at midday on weekdays, but not all the time.
- If I have something extra to post it usually appears at some random time :) I may livestream occasionally too.
