Public book libraries have been free to read since centuries, and yet no single human has ever read even 1% of them. We can't ignore that different scales = different consequences. (and to put them together the authors were paid)

Quantum physicist here. This is the way I like to think about it. A quantum system corresponds to some vector (i.e. the state of the system) and there are an infinitude of possible bases to write down the vector. Position and momentum are t

Not to rain on the parade, but in Fig. 1-D I see by comparing the two graphs that the VLF is almost always turned on in sync with a bass drop or with the start of a new section of the song, which I think is correlated with people suddenly d

I like it because they go one step further than other science outreach channels, and they don’t renounce on accuracy while simplifying obviously complex physics topics.

True. However each alternative comes with a lot of baggage, and there is no easy way out: 1) it could be that locality doesn't hold (as in Bohmian mechanics), but then causality takes a big hit because we must accept that it can also w

I think I understand your point: we don't define existence per se. But here we only need to define the existence of the value of a property. And we define it by saying that if the we can predict the value before measuring it, then th

What the statement says is that if a property is certainly predictable, then it exists . It doesn't say that all existing things are certainly predictable.

Yes! (and good question) In this case we use Einstein's definition of local hidden variable (which he called "element of reality"): "If, without in any way disturbing a system, we can predict with certainty (i.e., with p
