Oh, look! Yet another groundbreaking theory where #gravity moonlights as the magic wand for #quantum mysteries 🌌🔮. Apparently, Newton’s apple now also collapses wavefunctions—who knew?! 🍎👩‍🔬

How Gravity Can Explain the Collapse of the Wavefunction

I present a simple argument for why a fundamental theory that unifies matter and gravity gives rise to what seems to be a collapse of the wavefunction. The resulting model is local, parameter-free and makes testable predictions.

Schrödinger's Plumbing: something under the sink is leaking, but only when the cabinet doors are closed and you cannot observe it.

#Guestarticle #Jürgen #Uphoff: “#Foundation of #QuantumMechanics

The essay tries to give a statistical justification of quantum mechanics in order to bury the “#CopenhagenInterpretation” from a revisionist point of view. Jürgen deals with the problem of why a #StructuralRealist description, such as the #Schrödinger #WaveFunction, should be forced back into corpuscular #Matter#Relations as #wave-particle duality with the help of #stochastics.

Did the Particle Go Through the Two Slits, or Did the Wave Function?

In the quantum double-slit experiment, did the particle go through the slits or did the wave function? 1920's quantum physics has a simple answer: "NO".

#Physicists have created a 3D shape called the #cosmohedron, which can be used to reconstruct the #quantum #wavefunction of the universe - and potentially do away with the idea of space-time as the underlying fabric of the universe
