Yeah I'm being taught QFT in my undergrad. Any theoretical physicist would be expected to know this concept well. I guess people here aren't theoretical physicists though! However I do think the quality of physics commentary here is generally quite poor. I see a lot of crackpot theories or just ignorance in general. Especially with anything involving quantum mechanics, that seems to drive people crazy. I don't think that many people realise that in physics we don't talk about the philosophical implications at all, we're just trying to find good models, that's it...
- gpsx 10y agoI agree that many people who are not experts often misunderstand quantum mechanics. It is a very difficult field to learn. It takes a long time. I disagree about physicists not talking about philosophy. At least some people do in theoretical physics. That is probably why this paper is published in the area of "History and Philosophy of Physics".
- joeberon 10y agoI mean in general. Of course there are physicists at some universities that write about philosophy, but not a single one in my theory department.
