outcomes. After all, QM doesn't just describe photons. It also describes pairs of coins. Can I deduce that the wave function is not real just because pairs of coins sometimes fall heads-tails? We agree, but I'd put this slightly differently. QM is based on the mathematics of statistics, and the mathematics don't change just because we (try) to put a physical interpretation to it. If there is error, its in how we are applying those statistics to explain physical reality. Dave PS: Wow, too many cross-postings... trimming this one down to groups I read. PPS: Speaking of statistics, asking for opinions, is this type of general "properties of space-time" discussion to general for sci.space.history or sci.space.policy? |
