A paper describing the first evidence of top pair production in association with a energetic photon has just appeared on the Cornell Arxiv. This search has been performed by the CDF collaboration in…

A great title is key to getting lots of views. For my blogs, ones with the fewest views include “Snarky Puzzle Answers”, and “Snarky Puzzle Answers 2”. Do I have high expectations for SPA 3, Revenge…

The Quantum Randi Challenge (QRC), first introduced here, exists in order to stop the spread of pseudo-science by simply teaching quantum mechanics. Here is the official version of the challenge (…

According to Feynman, the 2-slit experiment with electrons "has in it the heart of quantum mechanics" and "is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way". To begin with, it…

The ATLAS Collaboration, one of the two high-energy physics experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, has just produced updated results of their ongoing search for new heavy particles decaying…

The blog run by Sascha Vongehr is unscholarly and unprofessional.  It vilifies and attempts to belittle anyone whose ideas about the foundations of quantum mechanics differ from his.  When…

Georges Metanomski posted this as a comment to my Quantum Crackpot Counter Challenge but it is a bit long.  After discussing this with George and with several people in support of this, I…

Quantum physics has proven that the world cannot be described by local realism. Therefore, Many-Worlds Interpretations (MWI) are now in vogue. This is already wrong: Everett's is a relative state…

New results from the T2K collaboration have been presented at a KEK Physics Seminar today, and they are really interesting stuff. In a nutshell, six electron neutrino events have been seen by their…

For discussion we’ll take an EPR pair as two spin 1/2 particles anti-correlated in a singlet state at the source. ·       How does an EPR pair maintain…
