What is wrong with Quantum Mechanics?

The more serious question we should ask is whether Darwin, judged by the standards of his day, would have been considered a racist -- or, quite the opposite, as a campaigner, in his own way, for the abolition of slavery based on the conviction that all human beings have a common biological parentage.

That said, even if it were to be demonstrated that Darwin was -- even by the conventions of his day -- a racist, this conclusion may have consequences for our moral evaluation of Darwin as a man; it would contibute nothing to our evaluation of his work as science.

Racism got a huge boost when Darwin came out with his famous book on the preservation of favored races. Darwin is famous for his racist evolutionary views about blacks being the link between apes and white humans.

Everyone was racist in the 1800's, Marke. The question I have is why are Christians so damned racist today?

You are talking to a person who believes that the fairy tale of Adam and Eve is history. Why he came to a science forum is a mystery.

Not really.

Is that what you think about the Rev. Martin Luther King and the Rev. Jesse Jackson?

For starters, it is all bollocks of course.

Anything coming out of the 'Religion of Modern science' is wrong, flawed, whatever, so also QM is clearly bollocks.

But it seems people swallow this crap, hook line and sinker. Without a critical thought.



That is just the sad state of affairs in this world.

I used to live in Russia. Literally in Moscow.

It's full of retards and drunks. Period.

Oh, and whores.

Blacks and whites can honestly trace their bloodlines to Adam. Humans are all brothers, not because they are descended from savage jungle animals, but because they are all descended from Adam. Jungle animals and their descendants may be racists but that should be expected from such beasts.

A proboscis monkey? Nah -

"10 Ma - The clade currently represented by humans and the genus Pan (common chimpanzees and bonobos) splits from the ancestors of the gorillas between c. 10 to 8 Ma.[29]"

See Timeline of human evolution - Wikipedia

Ma = millions of years ago

The proboscis aren't directly in the human line.

Science is not marke's strong point. He prefers the opinion of primitive goat herders.

This thread could go on for thousands of pages, but the fact would remain that QM has stagnated. It hasn't made any serious progress in over 40 years. Dozens, if not hundreds of spurious wanna be theories requiring all sorts of gimmicks to even have the appearance of being possible, and an establishment priesthood unwilling or incapable of considering real, common sense alternatives. Sad, really, that a field of study that began with so much promise ends up on the rocks of orthodoxy.

That post is incredibly ill informed.

"This breakthrough lays the groundwork for exciting new avenues of research in quantum science," said study lead author David Awschalom, the Liew Family Professor in Molecular Engineering, senior scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and director of the Chicago Quantum Exchange. "The broad applicability of this discovery, coupled with a remarkably simple implementation, allows this robust coherence to impact many aspects of quantum engineering. It enables new research opportunities previously thought impractical."

Down at the level of atoms, the world operates according to the rules of quantum mechanics -- very different from what we see around us in our daily lives. These different rules could translate into technology like virtually unhackable networks or extremely powerful computers; the U.S. Department of Energy released a blueprint for the future quantum internet in an event at UChicago on July 23. But fundamental engineering challenges remain:

In other words, QM is far from over. And, it has certainly not "stagnated." smdh

I can tell you what has stagnated: Belief in magical beings living up in the sky. Now, that **** is as stagnant as brackish swamp water.

blah, blah, blah. "Breakthroughs" are touted every day in QM, yet nothing comes of them. Maybe if they could just stick a little "quantum gravity" in there it will all work out...

The piece below was written for stupid comments like the post above.

There's a kind of Life of Brian absurdity to posting this on the Internet, which is a giant world-spanning, life-changing practical application of quantum mechanics. But just to make things a little clearer, here's a quick look at some of the myriad everyday things that depend on quantum physics for their operation.

Nothing comes of them? What are you expecting, a quantum coffee maker? Adding to our knowledge is always good.

It is usual to provide some info about the video. Can you sum up the salient points? Many physicists would say that physics is not in crisis. Who is to judge?
