I also don't believe in general relativity. The mathematical framework is valid but the interpretation is wrong. Simultaneity is not relative, and as such, the speed of light is not the same for all observers relative to the observer (however, the perceived speed of light may be the same for all observers relative to the observer).

You're right not to, they don't make intuitive sense. It's based on logical positivism. Scientists are stuck in a philosophy where the only good form of epistemic justification is our ability to observe it. It's ridiculous to assume that the only properties which are real are those that we can measure and know.

Quantum mechanics is sound. The collapse seems hard to swallow at first thought, but that's because most people aren't looking at it correctly. They assume the collapse happens the moment before we make an observation, but in actuality all the variables were already entangled together a long time ago, meaning the reality we observe is not constantly experiencing collapses, we're merely observing the result of a collapse that happened a long, long time ago.

>> No.11564845

>>11564560
I think you’re confusing Bohm with Bohr.

“ Early on, de Broglie did offer a kind of compromise, a version of his theory that was promulgated again in 1952 by the physicist David Bohm, and which is now known as Bohmian mechanics or de Broglie-Bohm theory. In this picture, there’s an abstract wave function that extends through space — an entity that’s just as mysterious in this theoretical framework as it is in the Copenhagen interpretation — as well as real particles somewhere in it. Proofs in the 1970s showed that de Broglie-Bohm theory makes exactly the same predictions as standard quantum mechanics. However, with one element of classical reality restored — concrete particles — new mysteries arise, like how or why a mathematical wave function that’s spread everywhere in space is bolted in certain places to physical particles. “Quantum mechanics is not less weird from that perspective,” Tomas Bohr said. Most physicists agree, but it’s really just a matter of taste, since the experimental predictions are identical.”

Bohr realizes it in no way disproves Bohm.

That's not correct. You can't have wavefunction collapse without superposition it's the opposite. Superposition is a mathematical artifact of the linearity of differential equations, whereas wavefunction collapse says that observations are going to cause an observed state to be one of the various nodes that are the solution to the differential equation.

So its basically the other way around.
