*Copenhagen interpretation
It has been completely flipped in an absurd way. Its presented as a serious way to explain or visualize quantum superposition to the public, completely flipping Schrödinger's original intent. Shows like the Big Bang theory popularized this, but also mainstream physics did.
Bohmian Mechanics is the completion of this problem. Its the real deal. But mainstream physicists hate it because its imcompatible with relativity. Well Well if only Lorentz had developed an aet*er theory that would have an absolute time...... That would fit really nicely since its equivalent to SR.

>>17036848
you can't have absolute time, you can't have flat space either
what you can have is local geometry approximating them to Planck scale
de Broglie and Dirac already solved physics Einstein couldn't do the maths to extend Dirac's solution but did understand de Broglie and told Copenhagen-ists that they are wrong and stupid, Bohm and Bell rediscovered parts of the solution

inb4 extend to where - the elastic deformation of the aether that we call gravitation needs to be described as a spinor field
it is not enough to think about it as a vector field, although that works well enough for small enough scales
at bigger scales (galaxy size and beyond basically) the curl of the aether becomes important
one other place where you could probably see this effect at large enough scale to measure is around a spinning black hole (they all have spin, and quite large angular velocities, which should be a hint)

Remember when I said BM has all the problems of a WF formalism with no practical advantage, and that the moment people try to use it it becomes a diet wave function formalism anyway? In all the examples you named, by your own admission, BM not only becomes a WF formalism but explicitly builds upon one.

Also, all of these (for large molecules) often use classical or quasi-classical simulations (which is not BM but an approximation that is independent of the QM formalism used), not because it is the best tool for the job, but because even with smart sampling schemes wave packet dynamics scale at least polynomially with resolution and degrees of freedom.

The fact that your theory cannot be applied without invoking the formalism it was explicitly constructed to replace (for aesthetics reasons and nothing else).
We can all pretend application doesn't matter but the fact is that the configuration picture is a fundamental cornerstone of modern chemistry, and it would take a lot of numerical, purely Bohmian ab initio calculations to translate all the concepts without basically just putting wave function pictures into a clunky pilot wave dress.
To conclude, Bohmian mechanics has all the problems of wave function formalisms and no practical advantage. I rest my case.
>>17037464
Copenhagen as no relevance to WF formalism as stated in my initial post.
Lest I am mistaken the Lagrange Mesh method is one of the many adaptive quadrature schemes out there. What does it do for it that you can't have from a (quasi-)classical approximation?
>BM was made to have a realistic view of the world
A bold claim for a theory that asserts the existence of quantum non-equilibrium.
It's also worth noting that the WF formalism that BM ultimately just replicates is simply unattractive for many reasons to begin with (for high energy physics), which is why people moved on to second quantization pictures. Do I wanna know what pilot fock space abominations BM people cooked up?

I have yet to see a "clear definition" of that sort that does not amount to BM setting the finish line behind itself. QNE and non-locality are both very sore spots of the theory.
I would call it a solution looking for a problem but this solution is clearly happy single.
To briefly return to Copenhagen, it is a fundamental mistake to consider the Born rule tied to the CI. Until the existence of QNE is verified, asserting QE is, at its core, just a reiteration of Born.
One thing that is commonly overlooked is that nothing about WF formalisms is intrinsically indeterministic. A wf known at t=0 is perfectly known for all future moments in time. That is, objectively, determinism. Measurement is, objectively, a fundamentally thermodynamic process. As such Born is not an axiom (or a postulate) but ought to be a corollary, but that is an entirely separate discussion. Born is a shorthand and people can't be bothered to clean it up, but BM does not solve that.

Most of the "spooky" shit goes away when you imagine every quantum field as a sea of virtual particles. Dirac was way ahead of his time and probably could've come up with QFT all on his own if he didn't have to waste his time proving himself to his peers who were either too dumb to understand him or actively tried (and failed) to shoot down his ideas because they introduced complexities that they didn't want to deal with.

Quantum equilibrium (QE) is asserted for the theory to agree with experiment, which is (as I said) basically just reiterating born rule. Yet this assertion is not considered as part of the theory. If QNE is real then it ought to be experimentally verifiable, and more importantly, there should be concrete approximations and conditions that determine when QNE effects can be discarded. As things stand we are in an awkward position of

Measurement is not some pixie dust bs that needs a spurious axiom, which is why I consider the Born rule a teaching tool and not much more. A real, actual measurement in the physical world is coupling a quantum system to a well-designed bath (the measuring device, which is a macroscopic object with bulk properties). Wave function "collapse" is therefor in actuality a relaxation process. As such the correct treatment of measurement would require the study of thermodynamic relaxation of a subsystem within a larger quantum system (including the observer). You could argue this is similar to many worlds, of course.
Though there is actually a very important application to all this beyond interpretations. Moderate to large molecules (N>10) often are very thermodynamic in nature in the sense that functional behave like coupled baths (for example two methyl groups of a carbohydrate rotating and vibrating independently). Given how classical simulations tend to be qualitative (albeit far from quantitative) for molecules of that size suggests that a bulk observer within a quantum system experiences "measurements" classically from their own frame of reference. That is a bold claim to make though,

Does said aether imply that QNE does not exist, or provide a falsifiable prediction of a QNE effect that can be measured? If not, it does not help with it.

Ok but the whole point of BM was to show that a realisitic universe is possible, that its not ferutes by quantum mechanics. I think you got it the wrong way around, its not a postulate, its showing that the opposite is not necessary.
>If QNE is real then it ought to be experimentally verifiable
Well this is where physics gets on sided. Because i can just as well claim
>If QNE is NOT real then it ought to be experimentally verifiable
Its just an alternative postulate to the born rule as far as i understand it.

i dont relly understand your logic here
postulating quantum equilibrium isnt relly different from any other postulate you need to invoke for any interpretation of QM or even QM itself

as i understand it, bohmians dont NEED to demonstrate QNE, but it is just a potential avenue where the theories could differ.
but at same time im not sure why bohmians must allow for QNE rather than just have the theory be in QE all the time
>>
>>17038194
>As such the correct treatment of measurement would require the study of thermodynamic relaxation of a subsystem within a larger quantum system (including the observer).

sure but just saying that you can describe measurment as a deterministic unitary evolution does nothing to explain the statistics of measurement. how can probabilistic statistics be a corollary of a deterministic evolution? that doesnt make sense, which is why additional interpretation is required, and the fact that many worlds doesn't convincingly produce the born rule as a natural corollary just further emphasizes how difficult it is to reduce QM entirely to deterministic unitary evolution. it simply cant account for what people empirically observe on its own
>>
>>17038199
>a realisitic universe
realism has many definitions is the point, BM, to my knowledge, violates what is called local realism, for example. The fact these terms are tied to a colloquial term and its connotation does a lot of heavy lifting and has little to do with actual philosophy. It is more useful to talk about specific properties of a theory (locality, contextuality/"counterfactual definiteness",...).
Verifying a thing to exist and verifying a thing not to exist are categorically different problems for an empirical science, it is not that simple. Accepting QE as a postulate essentially outs QNE as an artifact of the theory.
I've seen flavors of BM that are experimentally falsifiable because of this, as they yield results that disagree with standard QM predictions. Relativistic extensions of BM come to mind, but this is uncomfortably far from my field of expertise.
>>17038288
>as i understand it, bohmians dont NEED to demonstrate QNE, but it is just a potential avenue where the theories could differ.
I have always encountered bohmian theories insisting on QNE, this is what these remarks in particular are getting at.
But I feel like I am barking up the wrong tree with this, I think both of us would be perfectly fine with BM+no QNE with everything else requiring serious experimental investigation for any useful insights.
I would say that experimental verification of QNE would instantly qualify as the greatest physics discovery of the decade though, if not the century, should it come to it. As critical as I am of BM for it simply being a clunky formalism for the aforementioned reasons, if QNE turned out to be actually a real thing I would definitely applaud it.

>QNE is just as falsible or non falsible then borns rule.
QE is, in essence, QNE would yield something that disagrees with wf-based QM and as such would yield something else, see above.
>>17038298
>how can probabilistic statistics be a corollary of a deterministic evolution?
The core issue is the rigorous definition of relaxation: it's been a decade since I last looked at this seriously. At its core the issue is that system and bath remain a complete wave function in this picture and as such the statistical nature of the observation translates into conditions the local amplitude of the total wf has to satisfy. In other words a relaxation within the system corresponds to a localization in phase space the wave function passes through. Such effects are observed for real world quantum phenomena; if a chemical reaction has to overcome a high-lying transition state that is very confined in phase space, a lot (if not all) information that the wave packet carried before passing the choke point is lost.
You can expand the WF at the choke point where it must be very localized: since the density of local eigenstates there is low (as a consequence of localization), a low-energy wave packet cannot populate many local states, and the fine details of the wave packet are lost in the overtones with nigh zero amplitude.
Born becomes a corollary in a statistical setting as long as you can show that the total wave function's components after a measurement happened inside it have an amplitude that is a reasonable function (e.g. proportional to) the transition amplitude of the subsystem into one of its eigenstates for the observable. In principle the theory for this is all there but I have never seen it written down cleanly, which is a shame.

>BM, to my knowledge, violates what is called local realism, for example.
Yes true its non local. But even copenhagen can be non local, depeding on how you define locality, because of quantum entanglement.

True, but it kinda makes me want to add a complete aside. It's not really something you said but something that pisses me off reading on this board. Einstein's original criticism of "spooky action at a distance" is, in short, retarded, because standard QM is non-relativistic. To be upset that a formalism that isn't (cannot) be Lorentz-invariant has instantaneous information transfer is disingenuous at best. Length scales of [math] c\cdot t [/math] are outside the scope of a non-relativistic theory, and I could trivially write down bogus classical mechanics setups where information travels faster than light. As far as I know measurement operators in theories that are Lorentz-invariant commute, which addresses the bogus complaint without changing anything that actually upset him about the theory.

the only other avenues are also all bogus

not even gonna start on superdeterminism

wavefunction realism doesnt help either coz even if you reject non-local collapse you still have a non-local object that changes wiv measurement which imo is just as bad. which is why i fink many worlds is not actually a truly local theory even tho many proponents claim it is

you can reject wavefunction realism but without an underlying explanation, this doesnt solve anyfing

and then adding that underlying explanation basically just goes back to the beginning where local hidden variables are just not allowed

Oh I am well aware of bell but those are all different cans of worms, the above thing is just a bugbear of mine. I am not a fan of hidden variables, period. I find it clunky, personally.

>>
>>17038448
existence of KvN classical is good argument that one should not endorse wavefunction realism imo

WF realism is intrinsically absurd because it is pretty damn hard to find a more ill-behaved pair of operators than x,p. That is to say, I would not prescribe [math]\Psi(x) := \langle x \vert \Psi \rangle [/math] physical meaning, just like I wouldn't consider a lagrangian to be more real in Cartesian coordinates than it is in spherical.
Worse, the wf representation is less than useless for Lorentz-invariant formulations for obvious reasons.

This is exactly the wrong way, it's the way Einstein did it. But in reality you can't define movement before time, since movement is meters per time. So first you have to define time as some constant periods, as the constant moving on of things. Then you can define speed with it.

Also, the formalism is utter dogshit for multi-electron systems to begin with, which is why nobody seriously interested in them actually uses it for that.

it means the wave described by the wavefunction expands in all directions and according to Copenhagen tards there is no way to tell where a particle is until it smacks into a detector (the arrangement is you have an an electron source at the center of a semispheric phosphorus screen)
now, if you emit only one electron at once, you will only get one scintillation at once
how do the other phosphorus atoms know that the wavefunction has collapsed elsewhere?

This does have nothing to do with it being phosphorous, and it has nothing to do with relativity. You are talking about measurement, this has nothing to do with Lorentz invariance, and both Bohmian mechanics (which you inexplicably love but don't understand) would predict a single detection without invoking relativity at any point, you abject moron.
>>
>>17039899
You have no idea what you are talking about, not a single part of this paper implies that [math] |\Psi|^2 \neq \rho [/math]. All of this is ordinary quantum mechanics, and the paper employs simple model Hamiltonians instead of ab initio which for their purposes is perfectly fine.
>you just restated what I told you
I doubt you even know what a fucking Slater determinant is if you don't understand that Pauli exclusion principle and dynamics of spin 1/2 quantum systems does not require Bohmian schizophrenia. You might also notice that the paper you cited does not speak of pilot waves and employs bog standard wave function/state pictures. Do you even know what quantum non-equilibrium means?
>>
>>17039747
It was obvious you mean "absolute time" in that manner.
My point is that their isn't absolute time.
It's ALL, 100% based on point of observation, which will ALWAYS be a human being subjective and the rest being relative to that point.
Time is an illusion created by humans. It's movement.

Now, you can base it off of what? A set baseline frequency? Guess what? All measurements still derived from the HUMAN MIND based on shit moving in space.

Now, you can call "time" "shit moving in space". But you will not find an "absolute" value.
>But in reality you can't define movement before time
Think again sir.
Time is literally derived from this movement.
Human have have created EVERY time unit based off celestial movement.

You are eternally backwards.

BM and standard wf based formalisms make the same predictions about observable reality by different means, this has nothing to do with "explaining". Your original point was that this had anything to do with relativity, and you just conceded that a non-relativistic theory (BM) reproduces the phenomenon. In other words, standard QM (which reproduces BM) is non-relativistic. You can't weasel your way out of that one.
>>
>>17040281
>the transitions? who knows... maybe some non-equilibria there?
You mean the transitions standard QM predicts?
>ρ(X,t) ≠ |ψ(X,t)|2.
Given that it is quite known that for spin 0 systems not asserting QE causes the simulations to significantly deviate from experiment and standard QM, the burden of proof that QNE simulations quantitatively reproduce observed behavior is on you. In standard approaches this reduces to a simple symmetry argument, effectively a boundary condition you can reduce to a projection onto a Hilbert subspace.
There's also very simple thought experiments that render you being able to prove this very unlikely. The electrons of two physically well separated hydrogen atoms are predicted by QM to move in an uncorrelated manner (in the limit of large distances). BM can only reproduce the hydrogen atom by asserting QE. That means that all those magical QNE effects must asymptotically vanish at infinite separation, at least in a molecular frame. That is a lot of math that requires showing for someone who has not written a single cohesive equation in this thread, and chances are, not solved a single diff eq in his life.
>>

Im disagree. If we want to really get deep time is the passing of events.Simultaneity is harder to define, but it can be denfined absolute. Movement is not time, its something different

You also cant measre lenght, energy, anything without movement. That doesnt mean these things are movement.

The claim is =, so = has the burden of proof. Since when is it normal that you propose a formula and the shout "PROOF ME WRONG OR I AM RIGHT". Thats schizo tier.
>>
>>17042562
OP, you are a complete fucking retard who can neither follow the conversations you are stepping into nor contrinite anything of value. Shut the fuck up.
Also, every known experiment is only in agreement with BM in quantum equilibrium.
The issue discussed is twofold.
If QNE existed, then it should be observable at small times scales, we have no evidence of it down to attosecond time scales, which is damning evidence against it unless a very specific initial state is required, which ought to be predicted as people have for thermodynamics (non-ergodic systems are observably real)
Two, you absolute moron, the claim made is that through some fairy magic or other a QNE simulation with a non-symmetrized guiding wave would yield the same results as a QE simulation with an antisymmetric guiding wave, but only for fermions. Not only would that yield no proof of QNE, since it would mean there is an invariant in the EqoM, this is mathematically a wild assertion to make in its own right. You would basically have to commute the antisymmetrization operator past the logarithm in the derivation of BM.

I did not. BM is strictly equivalent to standard wave function based QM if done correctly, that is by asserting QE axiomatically.

Oh, but we do know as much as one can within the confines of empiricism. Let me ask you where the concept of an empirical science leaves you:
>BM without asserting QE is a real, existing set of differential equations that we can simulate
>the answers it gives are quantitatively wrong for all known experimental setups
>asserting QE makes BM agree with experiment
These are things we know. If all empirical evidence we have explicitly points against it it is not the empirical evidence that is wrong, especially not if we CAN reproduce all experiments even within the framework of BM. If we modify it to uphold QE that is, which people who actually use it and aren't crackpots do. Insofar it is not even an attack against BM, it is not the problem, your retardation is. If you assert QNE is real and measurable, then the burden of proof lies on you to theoretically predict a system with a sufficiently stable QNE.
Assuming QNE, as it stands, is in the realm of Russel's teapot and the invisible pink unicorn; unfalsifiable hogwash.

a big problem wiv bohm? its trajectories are dumb

i believe it predicts

that electron in a hydrogen atom just stands still

which imo is dumb

i honestly find the bohmian deterministic trajectories extremely unintuitive

the stochastic generalization looks much more natural. the electron in the hydrogeb atom jumps and bounces around

the stochastic generalization of bohmian mechanics views particles like a bit of dust moving through a glass of water, getting bumped around by its surrounding particles. that is causing the random motion

yes, trying to inject this analogy into quantum theory can't be verified or tested and it isnt even got a model at all. its a speculative hypothesis that the random behavior of quantum systems is due to some unspecified background field or something like that, which isnt in quantum theory at all. very vagye that "background field" doesnt even mean anything

but fink this better than standstill hydrogen atom
it is better than deterministic trajectory imo which wooshes around for no reason

the osmotic velocity in stochastic mechanics is the imaginary position variable in quantum theory. identical. why does it have a dumb name osmotic velocity? because osmotic velocity is the appropriate name when in the context which this quantity was first put forward.

this quantity appears in einsteins 1905 paper on brownian motion where it describes a force pushing on a dust particle in equilibrium in a background field

i believe this is where the background field hypothesis in the stochastic generalization already comes from. because this quantity that exists in conventional quantum theory also exists in brownian motion where it has an interpretation in terms of the pushback of a background field on a diffusion or osmosis in equilibrium. and you can easily find einstein 1905 paper and see the specifics
>>
think what helps the background hypothesis even though its an unspecified speculative hypothesis
is that quantum field theory suggests spacetime is filled with stuff and that interesting stuff happens in the vacuum. particle the ontology is less fundamental than structure that is realized by whole fields across spacetime. particle states or wavefunctions no longer are meaningful on their own

and even though none of that stuff has any relation to a stochastic generalization of bohmian mechanics background field

the very idea what a particle does seems to be embedded in some deeper ontology across all spacetime, that there isnt really any true empty space, is something that the background field hypothesis finds amenable or agreeable for the stochastic generaization of bohmian mechanics
>>
>>17043923
>>17043983
The relativity theory explicitely demands spacetime to exist (at least in some way), since spacetime is directly responsible for gravity in GR. It gives us a real force, therefore it cant be just a mathematical tool.
Thats why i support the lorentzian aether side btw, spacetime is an absurd concept and philosophically bullshit.

He's right though, even that makes awful little sense. Consider a d-orbital, the "electron" will just sit in precisely one lobe of that.

mad how tim maudlin finks we should give up relativity just like that ... i.e. preferted foliation. i'm skeptical that bell nonlocality is enuff to indicate that.
the idea of instant influence is mad to me and the fact that there is this non-signalling is also evidence against imo ... like if bohmian-style non-locality was true, why does the universe try so hars to cover it up such that qft is resoundingly local and you can't send disturbing signals across spacetime

im starting to lean onto retrocausality weirdly. i dont think the idea of future events changing the past makes sense but i kind of think it might make sense if you give up realism and retrocausality simultaneously

problem is i really dont wna do that

maybe you could make an argument analogous to what they do for bohmian-style non-locality in the sense that whatever influence on the past is not going to be properly signalling, and that is more preferable than the non-locality analogue because retrocausality doesn't require you to violate relativity in any explicit sense.

but i also suspect that its difficult to have a hidden variable model describe entanglemed state evolving forward-in-time without the non-locality already built in. for a retrocuasal model you will want the system to evolve forward in a local way then the measurements to retroactively change those trajectories.

some other arguments for retrocausality? the retrocausal nature i have in mind is literlaly just the time-reversal invariance of quantum theory so its in the theory.any people argue that our folk- notions of causality only arise in irreversible statistical theories and so do not exist in quantum theory or classical mechanics on their own. from this perspective, if causality as we know it doesnt actually apply to quantum theory then there is nothing to complain about

but this retrocausality would have to be more of like a constraint thing, not like actually changing the past physically
which means getting rid of realism

i mean what if particles have definite positions but measurement of them, as we know it so far, is physically impossible. thats a distinct possibility.

it then completely makes sense that if one constructed a theory of such a system it would carry no information about those positions and velocities, and perhaps carry explicit redundancies about them. if there are really multiple ways of constructing bohmian trajectorues compatible with the same measurement, but we cant know about them, why would a theory be able to specify?
