“This is the general idea. If you don’t push too hard on it, it will serve you well, but a lot has been left out, so don’t go extending the arguments too far, because you could easily reach a point where yet more of your fundamental assumptions are wrong.”
Basically, yes. This is what pop-sci means to me: providing some understanding of the concepts, without the ability to calculate anything of value.
It connects directly to zombies and addresses anti-realist positions… It also connects to the nature of probability
Are you saying that in a fully classical universe, with a random number generator instead of QM, p-zombies are OK and Bayes is invalid? If yes, feel free to explain, if no, you don’t need this sequence.
This article hit the main point on the head, which is that the HUP is totally consistent with physical realism. It gave a correct account of the HUP for position and momentum, and showed exactly where it was skipping the work.
Having looked through it again, I suppose I agree with that. I just wish it gave explicit examples of what was left out.
