How to Make an Informed Decision When You Are Out of Your Element
Can I ask a favor? So there is some controversy in interpretation of quantum mechanics between the Copenhagen interpretation which says that the randomness is an innate part of the universe (in fact things like position and velocity don’t have a specific value until they are measured), and the Realists who say that the randomness and uncertainty are a result of our inability to measure with the needed precision. (Einstein was a realist, in fact that’s what his “God does not play dice with the Universe,” quote is referring to.) Anyway, I was wondering if you could look over this paper which claims to propose a method to demonstrate whether the Copenhagen or Realist interpretation is correct and this experiment (direct link to PDF ) which claims to have data in support of the Copenhagen interpretation. What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of the experiment? Can you think of any other avenues that should be investigated? I’ll give you a few minutes to glance through it. ...
