On quantum measurement

This is a 9-page non-technical yet somewhat sketchy article (arXiv:2311.02233) which purports to resolve the quantum measurement paradox by first identifying its classical counterpart. I am posting it here in an attempt to collect some feedback from experts, hopefully spark some discussion, get a chance to clarify any unclear points for the readers and for myself — or face a… Read more →

Electrodynamic Aharonov-Bohm effect   from PRA – fundamentalconcepts by Pablo L. SaldanhaFri Dec 22 2023 18:00:00 (16 hours)# 1. Author(s): Pablo L. Saldanha We propose an electrodynamic Aharonov-Bohm (AB) scheme where a nonzero AB phase difference appears even if the interferometer paths do not enclose a magnetic flux and are subjected to negligible scalar potential differences during the propagation of the quantum charged… Read more →

The paradox of infinitesimal granularity: Chaos and the reversibility of time in Newton’s theory of gravity. (arXiv:2209.03347v1 [nlin.CD])   from  gr-qc updates on arXiv.org  by  Simon Portegies Zwart, Tjarda Boekholt Sat Sep 10 2022 09:48:11 (1 hour) # 1. The fundamental laws of physics are time-symmetric, but our macroscopic experience contradicts this. The time reversibility paradox is partly a consequence… Read more →

Russell on Weyl’s unified field theory. (arXiv:2208.08495v1 [physics.hist-ph]) 上午10:36 | physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org Authors: C. Romero In 1918, H. Weyl proposed a unified theory of gravity and electromagnetism based on a generalization of Riemannian geometry. With hindsight we now could say that the theory carried with it some of the most original ideas that inspired the physics of the twentieth… Read more →
