Personally i do not think crazy philosophical physics in necessarily bad.
It has always been the crazy immature ideas that do not necessarily explain a lot but explain but do explain some other things that are most helpful.
I believe the early heliocentric model did not account for few things about how things fall. And also according to it planets like venus would be many times closer to us than they actually were and the telescope itself was still at the time an unproven tool only a few people had.
By all means galileo's thinking was completely wrong and the reason everyone considered him crazy.

Fundamental lectures Richard Feynman:
The best way is to use the abstract field idea. That it is abstract is unfortunate, but necessary. The attempts to try to represent the electric field as the motion of some kind of gear wheels, or in terms of lines, or of stresses in some kind of material have used up more effort of physicists than it would have taken simply to get the right answers about electrodynamics. It is interesting that the correct equations for the behavior of light were worked out by MacCullagh in 1839. But people said to him: “Yes, but there is no real material whose mechanical properties could possibly satisfy those equations, and since light is an oscillation that must vibrate in something, we cannot believe this abstract equation business.” If people had been more open-minded, they might have believed in the right equations for the behavior of light a lot earlier than they did.

That's exactly the argument that always misses the point.
>we got technology out of it, so just go with it
The point is that applications are not all that matters. This argument could just as easily be applied to ancient astronomical calendars. They work, and they have formulae built in which give corrections to the errors which build up over time so as to allow them to keep giving correct physical descriptions. But predictions should not be an obstacle to rethinking the actual representation behind the theory, because without an idea of what the theory represents, it is not possible to move to a radically new one: applying "shut up and calculate" is essentially why the Mayans had their mechanistic calculus but Europe leaped forward with Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton.
>either proven wrong (anything involving hidden variables)
And if you're referring to Von Neumann's proof this is just an old-fashioned misconception. His argument is circular and was only rejected too late, by which time the damage had already been done.
The fact remains that the predictive power of the formulae of quantum mechanics should not be an obstacle to reinterpretations of what the theory actually means. To say otherwise is to make physicists take the role of vastly inferior mathematicians, and blunt any kind of incisive vision we used to have that allowed us to see new theories.
>offer no predictive value
Firstly, this is false. Just last year Howard Carmichael's stochastic ideas of how quantum transitions work back in the 90s allowed those experiments to be done in which they showed that transitions don't actually need to be instantaneous.
Secondly, the predictive value is not the full point, and it's this obsession with what symbolic manipulations "do" rather than what the ideas mean or represent which drives theoretical insight, and the lack thereof is what stifles it.

>> No.11768152

>>11768121
>They work, and they have formulae built in which give corrections to the errors which build up over time so as to allow them to keep giving correct physical descriptions
Sure, but that's definitely not the case with QM. We've continually tested it to the current limits of our measurement abilities for decades and every time we made advancements in measurement, they agreed with theory.
>applying "shut up and calculate" is essentially why the Mayans had their mechanistic calculus but Europe leaped forward with Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton
That's stretching it way too much. Copenhagen is definitely not wrong. It ignores certain things because we can never know what actually happens. Ever considered that there might be limits to our testing and understanding?
>>either proven wrong (anything involving hidden variables)
>And if you're referring to Von Neumann's proof this is just an old-fashioned misconception
No, I'm referring to a bunch of experimental results that have proven hidden variable theories wrong. Over the past 10 years, there have been NUMEROUS experimental results excluding any form of hidden variable in QM. If your fav interpretation has hidden variables in it, it's definitely wrong.
>Secondly, the predictive value is not the full point
What value does something like MWI offer (which is the current preferred interpretation of many blowhards and brainlets) over Copenhagen? MWI is untestable and will forever be untestable. It also fails Occam's razor.

>> No.11768175

>>11768152
>We've continually tested it to the current limits of our measurement abilities for decades and every time we made advancements in measurement, they agreed with theory.
Even if this were true (which it isn't, because we can't, for example, predict the magnetic moment of the electron, just for one example). This doesn't change anything. Ancient calendars also work very well in predicting regular astronomical events, so going back hundreds of years you'd still be making this same statement to support the model of the old astronomers.
(I'm not referring to the actual theory of epicycles and so on, but specifically to the calculations themselves in other models which weren't taken to represent anything other than a way to get the right prediction)
>Copenhagen is definitely not wrong.
The exact reason I mentioned the Yale experiments last year is that Copenhagen interpretations predict instantaneous collapse, whereas the Yale experiment managed to catch and reverse the transition. So this "definitely" should be downgraded to a "probably" at the very least.
>What value does something like MWI offer
I don't care for MWI either.
>Ever considered that there might be limits to our testing and understanding?
Yes, I just don't accept this as a reason to stop seeking a theory to which we can attach a physical representation, and certainly don't consider this an argument in favour of "shut up and calculate." That's what we have engineers for.

LHC will be getting shut down within a few years unless it finds something big which will spark a breakthrough because it's no longer justifying it's expense. Physics as a field is largely stuck arguing over several theories which none of them can prove and the academics are trapped in rabbit holes like magnetic monopoles. Also funding is not given to actually useful research topics largely due to them going against the interests of big corporations. I personally think the education system needs to be revamped and we need to take on a broader spectrum of subjects. Philosophy was always an integral part of the education of physicists of the past, though nowadays there is an arrogance towards the subject coming from a position of ignorance from the majority of stem academics, many of whom simply do not understand the things philosophers are discussing.

Originally people did seem to think it was instantaneous but that's been revised. So his original claim that the Copenhagen interpretation is just definitely correct isn't worth much when what the Copenhagen interpretation is to begin with has been revised a few times. There's no reason to stop looking for new interpretations of theories.

Also, why does commercialize even mean that much? Opiods were commercialized as something safe and that didn't turn out to be true...

unironically, yes.
Just imagine for a second - what all those young bright inquisitive minds would be up to if they were "bored". Imagine all the smart phds at, say, cern out of a job suddenly. Out of a whole system to employ or at least validate them. A sudden heap of the smartest brains on the planet, bored, desperate. It's social dynamite, more so in these politically unstable times (i.e. everything post 9/11). From the system's point of view, it is imperative to keep those kinds of people occupied, if not to keep an active repo of brains to be queried in case of warfare, then at the very least to keep them from diverting their attention to society's various ills by occupying them otherwise. And this means a) keep em happy (til late 20th century), or b) "divide et impera"(nowadays), have 100phds competing for the one tenure track position.
Just think of academia as one giant google captcha.

Not really. You've got a problem on the frontiers where in order to test your hypotheses you need to start probing some crazy high energy levels that the human race probably wont even scratch the bottom limits of for a while (presuming there isn't something that comes along and forces a paradigm shift in the understanding of the fundementals).

There are hopes that SUSY is hiding just beyond the capabilities of the LHC. The higher energy the sparticles need to be the less optimal they are to fit the theory.
For things like string theory though, barring any game changing technology out of nowhere, will need a particle accelerator that's just retardedly huge.
Fingers crossed that it might yield predictions that we can validate before that.

You're not sure how many dimensions it is, but you ARE sure it matches the number of "sephirot in kaballah". Lol.
If it's ten, it also matches the number of fingers humans usually have. Another word for fingers? Digits. And ten is a number. So we can clearly see that string theory is a hoax peddled by Big Glove

you realize that physics must be supported by physical phenomena. if we never experimentally discovered it, particle physics would still contain theories that don't contain the higgs. it's hard for me to believe actual retards come to this board thinking theory is the only thing to worry about when dealing with science. this is ignoring high energy is the meme subfield of physics and hasn't been useful since renormalization group
