To catch and reverse a quantum jump mid-flight
- maxharris 7y agoHas anyone else read Lee Smolin's new book, "Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution: The Search for What Lies Beyond the Quantum"? It provides an excellent overview of how quantum physics got hijacked by Bohr, how Einstein's realist views were stymied by his inability to let go of locality (and how this is understandable because he depended on locality to develop relativity theory, and the fact that he died before experiment demonstrated quantum non-locality), an overview of realist interpretations (and their drawbacks!), and a direction for future research.
