The problem is the insistence that there are two distinct particles that have an independent existence and properties. There isn't. There's just a quantum field

The problem is the insistence that there are two distinct particles that have an independent existence and properties. There isn't. There's just a quantum field which when it interacts with other fields in a measuring apparatus produces classical results in accordance with qm. Trying to understand what's really going on in terms of distinct and separate particles is never going to work.
- Ma8ee 6y agoOk, so skip the particles. Why does exactly one detector click?
- justnonsense 6y agoThe interaction of the detector with the field
- Ma8ee 6y agoThe emphasis of the question should be on “exactly one”. How does using fields instead of particles resolve the question of the collapse of the wave function?
