No, really? Isn't it the same thing in the end?

I was researching about it. I think there's no Quantum Mechanics. I'm just a person trying to find answers, but this whole "many universes" thing, or "atom decaying into a point upon observation" thing seems like bullshit.

With big religious tones to it.

This answer is much more satisfying and intuitive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIyTZDHuarQ

Were people working 80+ years trying to explain something crazy that doesn't exist?

Are people defending these models just to look intelligent and receive funds from the states?

Are they trying to justify the crazy investments by saying that "we don't understand anything, everything is crazy in the universe?" while not even looking at other possible and more plausible resolutions?

Is it a industry or pure marketing?

Did the scientists forgot what real science is?

Pilot wave also has the double slit experiment.
An answer I read on this board recently which I like a lot is that copenhagen simply corresponds best with the limits of what we can observe empirically. Pilot wave theory has hidden variables, we can never observe them, so it would be pointless to develop it further, in favour of a statistical theory, where the statistical uncertainties correspond directly to the uncertainties of our measurement.

It genuinely looks like bullshit, specially when the community is basically closed to other explanations/scientists.

Also, I've never met a physicist that didn't have that arrogant "air" around them. It seems like bullshit to me. I wouldn't have any problem with it, if they were just trying to find answers. But there're billions of public money involved with tests that don't conclude anything and just adds to the "black box" thing.

>> No.9664810

>>9664791
It's the shape of the interference pattern that matters. If the areas illuminated are circular, they get spread out more.

There's more to it too, like the fact that we get nearly equal amounts of light entering our pupils from all directions. The double-slit experiment usually uses a tight beam from one direction. Not to mention the fact that our visual cortex has had millions of years of evolution working to filter out annoying things like interference patterns.

damn right boy, probabilities should be exactly 50%: it either happens or it doesn't, period.
seriously now, your brain filters the double slit experiment, just like it turns the image upside down and fixes other errors (like blind spots, which we actually have).

>> No.9664836

>>9664820
But the 50% probability only happens when measuring it with devices, which themselves can produce waves that interact with the experiment.

A "clean double slit" produces like 8+ light/dark lines.

I don't know anon. The Pilot Wave explain this effect in a much more satisfactory way. And it implies an explanation for it being a particle and a wave at the same time.

>> No.9664840

>>9664814
oh shit I just thought of something. There is no interference pattern because our pupils aren't connected. If you put a wall between the slits there would be no way for the light from one slit to interfere with the light from the other.

There are 2 or 3 interpretations of what QM "means" but they all give the same results. They have to to agree with experiments.

You're free to come up with your own hypothesis. But it has better not make predictions which don't agree with already performed experiments.

No, the "hidden magical variables" are nothing more than the position of the particles. Then it adds in the obvious equation that says the mass times the time derivative of the position is exactly the momentum of the wave-function at that position. Hence the name "pilot wave".

>classical

Classical mechanics doesn't prove determinism. Just limits how random it can be to our ability to measure it.

>>9665032

QM is a non-relativistic theory. There are a few relativistic ideas (<E, p> = ℏ<ω, k>) but the wave equation is literally, p^2/2m[ψ] + V[ψ] = E[ψ], a non-relativistic equation. Therefore you wouldn't expect it to obey relativity.

This should explain.
It is indeed not very satisfactory but that is because it is a counter intuitive system, there are no analogies for quantum phenomena that work, it can not be explained in terms of being like something else, that is why it doesn't appear to make sense to you but if you care to look into it and not just dismiss it on account of your gut not liking it you might find it to be more compelling than it seems at first.
