   > physics is concerned, wrong or false. No, yeah. True or false as far as physics is concerned. But then once we set down our assumptions, is everything else we say, is it actually conclusive? Is that actually at least compatible with what we said? And there you need to be very careful because many things are plausible, but just not correct. And if we start hand waving, it's always very cool, right? It's a little bit, sometimes I blame it on Feynman, who was,

   Physicists like, especially after a certain age, to look around the intellectual landscape and see other fields of inquiry that are not physics and go, I could do that better than they can. I'm a physicist. How hard can it be? This is not what I'm here to do. I am not going to give you definitive final answers about any of these things. But I do think that there is a common vocabulary, a common ground in which we can discuss these various issues. And that's really what I'm here to talk about. So I want to start with a simple question that is uh related to physics but one that also is related t…

   Student: The k coefficient is wrong. Professor Ramamurti Shankar: The fault is not with the k. Yes? Student: We didn't take into account all the force that's friction and the amount of force. Professor Ramamurti Shankar: That is correct. So, we will say we have missed something. There's another force acting on this mass, besides the spring; that's the force of friction that'll oppose the motion of the mass. So, you can say one of two things. Either you can say something is wrong with Newton's laws, or you can say we've not applied Newton's laws properly because we haven't identified all the fo…

   We still lack any consensus about what one is actually talking about as one uses quantum mechanics. There is a gap between the abstract terms in which the theory is couched and the phenomena the theory enables each of us to account for so well. Because it has no practical consequences for how we each use quantum mechanics to deal with physical problems, this cognitive dissonance has managed to coexist with the quantum theory from the very beginning. The absence of conceptual clarity for almost a century suggests that the problem might lie in some implicit misconceptions about the nature of sci…

   With certainty. Now, this is a criterion, I don't know what you call it, a a dictum I call it, by Einstein. Einstein was worried about this concept of quantum reality, I think. And he and lots of other people were worried about this. To what extent is the quantum state real? Is it a real thing? Or is it just a figment of imagination or useful tool of a our calculations? Is it real? Not that it's real in the sense of real numbers, cuz it's not. It's complex numbers, which is a nice sort of um iron irony. But take the spin case, that's a good one. Which way is it spinning? Like you know, not sur…

   The measured particle is in a given s- place and time. And so, this is something that puzzled the physicists. How is it possible for an act of measurement to collapse this probability wave and give a definite position to particles which have no definite positions before the act of measurement. And believe it or not physicists have been kicking this so-called measurement problem around for a good 100 years, almost. More like 90. For about 90 years, they've been speculating on this with no actual uh solution in sight. The weirdest ideas are presented by them uh in order to resolve this conundrum…

   Feynman made that statement about the space shuttle disaster 30 years ago, but it fits better today with our infatuation with non-native EMF from technology gadgets. Nature cannot be fooled, but we certainly can be. In fact, we are the easiest people to be fooled by ourselves. Moreover, some professions are fooled everyday they go to work and never realize it. ***Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!** *This is why in science, words and publications can often be meaningless, especially when they are used in such a way that no sharp conclusions can be drawn.

   A very good way of putting it. And the result is a sort of induced, what do I call it? Induced cringe, or something. The students of quantum mechanics are trained not to ask those questions. And if you're trained not to ask certain questions, that has an effect on your worldview. It has an effect on the culture in physics, because students think that they're the only one who worries about this. And in fact, they all worry about this. They're the ones that are studying physics in order to understand the world, always worry about this. And they learn this language of substituting ideas about abs…

   The notion of quantum reality actually comes from Einstein in a certain sense. He talked about the quantum state. He said: Is the quantum state real or not? And a good example is the spin of a split in a half particle, take an electron Now, the spin of an electron, the different possible spin states are spin right handed about all possible directions so I can move my thumb about the axis and it spins right handed about that axis. Now all those different possible states, those are the possible spin states of an electron. Now what you can't do is ask the electron: What’s your spin state? Or you …

    It's not somehow a magical. is not made of a magical classical substance that's has different physics to it. So why should I have to make this distinction? As I said, why isn't this just a regular physical interaction between two physical things? Now the the little piece of data I'll just mention is is Adam Becker wrote a nice book called What is Real? which was a popular book about Bell and about David Bow and about Hugh Everett and certain people who were running against this stream of mainstream physics. Uh he was very critical of Bor and Copenhogen in the book and he has a degree in cosmol…
