RADICAL. “The Earth does not attract the Moon. The pressure of the interplanetary medium of the electromagnetic field pushes the Moon towards the Earth.” https://lnkd.in/eWv3eyi5 View in LinkedIn

PUNCHLINE. “Dark matter is the environment of the electromagnetic field.” https://lnkd.in/eWv3eyi5 View in LinkedIn

INTERACTIONS. “Passive gravitational mass does not interact directly with active mass. The intrinsic field of the passive mass interacts with the intrinsic field of the active mass. The external environment of the electromagnetic field provides the force of gravity and the expenditure of energy for acceleration during attraction. The masses themselves do not spend energy on attraction to each other.” https://lnkd.in/eWv3eyi5 View in LinkedIn

INCORRECT ASSUMPTION. “Bohr’s viewpoint, it would mean to assert that an object in itself is a quantum system. An obvious suggestion would be to think that the deep nature of objects is correctly represented by quantum wave functions. But Bohr could not have supported this idea.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

ELUSIVE REALITY. “Bohr emphasizes what one can say about nature, and rejects the question of how nature is in itself. This is consistent with the fact that Bohr almost always stresses epistemological rather than ontological aspects of quantum mechanics.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

HIGHER DIMENSIONALITY. “Bohr noted among other things that the quantum wave function in general “lives” in a mathematical space with more than the usual three dimensions.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

NOT ABOUT REALITY. “When asked whether the algorithm of quantum mechanics could be considered as somehow mirroring an underlying quantum world, Bohr would answer, "There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

DIVIDED WORLD. “Thus, the apparatus and its pointer are always in definite positions. However, Bohr’s idea seems to be problematic as it suggests that there is a separate classical realm of reality. And it is not at all clear how one could divide up the world in a classical and a quantum part.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on a discussion of some of Bohr’s ideas about the quantum reality. Bohr differed from mainstream thinkers in being more nuanced and inclusive and less dogmatic. The reality is that many quantum ideas are simply beyond our ability to imagine them as concepts, since they seem mutually contradictory. https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn
