Here's something about Judaism and forgiveness: there is no call for unconditional forgiveness, as some might be familiar with from their very non-Judaic traditions. One might offer it, but one is more likely to offer it after actual steps have been taken to right the wrong.

Oust Bibi, finally put him in prison for heck's sake (the man is a thief), and then we might talk forgiveness.

But, even then, you are lucky if you get it.

(Holding grudges—particularly against fellow Jews, Jack Klompus-style—is looked down upon, however. So one might simply be left unforgiven, but not actively persecuted.)

(Of course the main reason Canada doesn't have these problems to similar degree is it is much "Whiter" and doesn't border Mexico. So keep that in mind if you are planning a migration.)

@swearyanthony I boost before reading, because I know darn well the guy has the brains of a block of wood.

@swearyanthony I could only scan that dumbshit fascistic stuff. Basically Dorsey was calling for Big Brother forcing everyone to listen to Trump on Dorseychannel. And there should be no need to convince people to give you the money to pay for it, either. All you need is a magic protocol and then it pays for itself in Bitcoins.

@swearyanthony Do you know this genius was nearly finished with college when he dropped out. Most of these geniuses at least drop out early.

@DreadShips You never brick the device automatically.

NEVER.

This seems a simple rule of thumb.

@rastilin @DreadShips You don't know what the situation actually is when you are having it happen.

@Dianora Einstein got the Nobel for the invention of the notion of the photon!

(Side note: I do not believe it proven discrete photons exist. The Bell experiment, for instance, can be modeled with continuous EM—Kracklauer did so in 2004. But I do believe discrete photons exist, though certainly not as dimensionless points.)

@Dianora (Kracklauer simply assumes the randomness of photoelectrons is due to the detector rather than the impinging light.)

@Dianora I found an extremely simple derivation of the "quantum correlation" of the Bell experiment, using no quantum mechanics. Just probability theory. It is, of course, merely the ordinary correlation coefficient.

So of course I am banned from Physics Forums. That's how physics works.

@Dianora There is no need for pilot wave theory. Particles behave fully classically. The probabilities are simply those of the experimental arrangement.

I have written many simulations that show this is so for the Bell experiment.

But I have also discovered simple arguments that show there CANNOT be such a thing as "quantum" behavior distinct from classical. You can, for example, easily re-craft the Bell test as a COMPLETELY EQUIVALENT experiment ABOUT COOKIE BOXES.

@Dianora (See my bio for links to where my simulations are, BTW.)

@Dianora This is what Einstein meant, that the behavior had to be classical. But he made the mistake of thinking that, because quantum mechanics looked like statistical mechanics, the solutions had to be statistical mechanical. The Bell test is actually far too simple for statistical mechanics.

@Dianora My argument is as follows: All "quantum" problems, once stated, are word problems in mathematics. So what quantum physicists are claiming is literally that there exist word problems that can be solved correctly by no method other than the "quantum mechanics" of Pauli, Dirac, etc. Furthermore, the 2022 Nobel Prize was awarded to Clauser for arriving at a different, incorrect answer to such a word problem by using other methods...

chemoelectric, 9 days ago

@Dianora But this is ludicrous, for two reasons.

1. Any word problem can be converted to an infinite number of logically equivalent word problems about different subject matter. So do these magical properties of "quantum" problems carry over to equivalent problems about frogs or cookie boxes?

2. All mathematical methods, applied to the same problem, must arrive at the same result. So Clauser must simply have done his math incorrectly. Which he did.

(Also he's an infamous "climate denier".)

@Dianora My interpretation is the simplest: there is simply NO SUCH THING as "quantum" physics. There is only physics, some of which has mistakenly been walled off from full inquiry with the label "quantum". The label means: "You are forbidden to use any methods but Quantum Mechanics®".

@Dianora Nobel prizes are now even reported in Science magazine as being destructive. Yet no one can bring themselves to call for their abolition.

Do you remember those guys who obviously had a screw loose (literally) and yet had that rag Nature rush publishing a paper for them (which I read) so they could get a Nobel Prize for discovering FTL? No one showered them with opprobrium for seeking a Nobel Prize instead of seeking insight into the nature of things.

chemoelectric, 9 days ago

@Dianora They gave Clauser this prize even though the noteworthy physicist E.T. Jaynes already debunked Clauser's work in the 1980s. But Jaynes had to publish at a maximum entropy methods conference. The physics community has its ears plugged.

It is a pseudoscience cult.

@Dianora Fake research is common in biomed, as is often reported in Science. But I think a lot of physics research might be fake, too. I suspect the experiments flying atomic clocks around the world have been faked, for instance.

(In any case they are not EVEN REMOTELY a test of the Twin Paradox, which requires INERTIAL motion, not merely motion that "feels inertial to the passengers".)

@Dianora Things are very bad. Magazines advertize themselves by what? Their "Impact Factor". IOW by their value in advancing a citation-churner's career.

@Dianora We live in a Dark Age. I mean that quite sincerely. It began a century ago. The scientific era ended roughly with the 19th century.

Technology advances, but it does during Dark Ages. Technology cannot be stopped completely. Fundamental physics pretty much has been.
