FLY IN THE OINTMENT. “For all its impressive predictive and practical successes, quantum mechanics cannot account for the most basic fact of experiments – namely that they have definite outcomes. This is known in the literature as the quantum measurement problem.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

NOT A DOGMATIST. “I argue below that Bohr is best understood as not being a quantum fundamentalist – neither in the ontological nor in the epistemological sense.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

NUANCED VIEW. “At least on the face of it, Niels Bohr’s conception of quantum mechanics stands in contrast to quantum fundamentalism. Thus, Bohr insisted on the necessity of the concepts of classical physics in the description of quantum phenomena.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

BOHR’S FATHER, “Christian, became a professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen and was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize. https://lnkd.in/eMqHUjMd View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY. “We show that the origin of bianisotropy is fully defined by the symmetry of the meta-atom rather than its size.” A strange and mystical paper. https://lnkd.in/e5fJZNfb View in LinkedIn

THE GENERAL ASSUMPTION. “Quantum Fundamentalism? Everything in the universe (if not the universe as a whole) is fundamentally of a quantum nature and ultimately describable in quantum-mechanical terms.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

CONCEPT. “General idea of multipolar bianisotropy. Vector spherical harmonics can be divided into even and odd under inversion operation. Inversion symmetry — No bianisotropy. No inversion symmetry — Bianisotropy.” https://lnkd.in/e5fJZNfb View in LinkedIn

DOGMA. “Against this background, it is hardly surprising that many are attracted to the idea that quantum mechanics, or some of its successors like quantum field theory or string theory, is a universal and fundamental theory of the world.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn
