Jones, I believe that most physicists would bet against the idea that wave-function collapse, or equivalently, quantum measurements could increase energy concentration on a macroscopic scale - unless there is a compensatory entropy increase somewhere else. So, it may be that some internal quantum

Most discussions of the meaning of quantum mechanics these days seem to be about the problem of the "collapse of the wave function." In link theory this problem simply vanishes, since there is no wave function to collapse. Imagine if the Eighteenth Century caloric were still hanging around as the o

The part I can understand and like is the decoherence of the quantum state which I also believe is triggering accelerated beta/nuclear decay in the surrounding lattice, just like nature, only accelerated from the typical rate. I am seeing decoherence/gravity wave signs at the location of hurricane

This is the title of a provocative piece on quantum mechanics written by Dr. Dave on the "Ask a Physicist" series. The article is fairly lightweight but the conclusion is valid: Physicists have no idea how the wave function collapses ... cough, cough ... but they suspect it happens on a very shor
