BelgianStrider: "Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality is a science history book written by Manjit Kumar. It was released on October 16, 2008.

Overview
He describes Einstein, Bohr and the "Great Debate about the Nature of Reality" that played out over a number of years, particularly at the Fifth Solvay International Conference on electrons and photons in 1927, where the physicists met to discuss the then newly formulated quantum theory. It narrates the life of some eminent physicists and their work and also gives a view of the environment of science at that time. It tells the life stories of Bohr, Einstein, Planck, Rutherford, Schrödinger, and others."

Ooooops it is a history book with QM as subject. "It tells the life stories of different famous names in that field".

Yeah: we even can say from the data found about that book: that the quotation is beyond reasonable doubt taken out of its context !!!!
It might have some significance in "history": nothing to do with actual QM

axocanth: The history of QM will perhaps relieve you of your infant-like naivete.

What people SAID (e.g. the authority of Niels Bohr) very much determined which theories or which interpretations were countenanced and which were silenced.

BelgianStrider: why do you need a PHYLOSOPHICAL PRESENTATION OF QM?

CAN YOU TELL ME HOW COME WE HAVE LAWS WITHOUT ANY THEORY??????

axocanth: Ah dude. You're being naive again. One man's philosophy is another man's good science.

What Niels Bohr might have considered metaphysics other scientists regarded as GOOD SCIENCE.

Oh, and they were routinely silenced.

There is a flourishing discipline of philosophy of physics. Perhaps you've been too busy with Goldilocks and the Three Bears?

Somehow, the refutations of your simpleminded fairytales never seem to be addressed, though.

I'm not sure what brabling means but can I assume it's bad news?


The answer is Glasgow Celtic, by the way (1967).

BelgianStrider: well dear sir can you give any scientifical answer about the "origin of life on Earth"

Can you mention any great scientist possessing the answer beyond reasonable doubt for that question?

If not then you have a clear case that science has no "answers" on everything !!!!!

Spoiler alert: There is actually no answer on that question !!!!

Again a clearr evidence you have no clue at all what you are "brabling" about.... even if it is not English the meaning of it can be guessed !!!!

Yes, it seems I was born with a Cassandra-like curse or something. Every quotation I post, no matter how meticulously referenced, is invariably dismissed as being either "cherry picked" or else taken out of context.

I daresay I could post the entire book and it would still be dismissed as being cherry picked and out of context.

I daresay I could post his complete works and the same thing would happen.


Just damn bad luck, I tell ya.



It never happens to you guys though. Some folks have all the luck, eh?

axocanth: As for my "anti-science propaganda", this is a constant source of bafflement too.


You guys come here, describe some fairy tale bearing precious little resemblance to reality, indeed that you'd have difficulty convincing a child of, to a rapturous applause.

I actually look to what scientists THEMSELVES say on these matters and present their views for examination.

One might even be forgiven for thinking that you choose fantasy over reality.

Come to think of it, that doesn't seem like such a bad idea right now.

May I borrow your "Richard Dawkins and the Seven Dwarves" when you're through with it, please?
