i am way more willing to accept nonlocality than i am true randomness

theres nothing random about decoherence

Stereotype posted:

actually locality is probably not a great assumption. It pops up in the advanced potential solution to maxwell's equations for example.

bump_fn posted:

maxwells equations are classical and are a well posed causal cauchy problem w causal local evolution (w constraints, is that what you're concerned about? gauss' law?) but almost all of modern physics is based on local quantum field theory (i'm not going to get into quantum gravity but even there things are ``pretty'' local in something like string theory)

nonlocal hidden variables violate locality and therefore are just as dumb

coffeetable posted:

local hidden variables are

yeah, most people don't realize that was trying to make that point. but...

the thing is, as I understand it, he was wrong. the superposition of states is profoundly unintuitive, but it's also the mainstream interpretation of quantum physics.

this is wrong since hidden variables are in disagreement w bells inequality fwiw
