"Once you start thinking of an agent as a quantum system in his or her own right, says Renner, things get complicated." The initial conditions get complicated, but the equations of motion might and presumably will still be simple, as they are in classical physics. Planck's constant, that Lorentz invariant scale of action, is still the one that rules them all when it comes to measurement incompatibility and quantum fluctuations, come whatever else may.
I look forward to them finding ways to finesse that, as if to make Planck's constant locally look as if it's smaller, even while in principle it's still a universal constant.

VISIBLE reality am not a theory. The real VISIBLE earth had a real VISIBLE surface for millions of years before any theoretical physicists ever appeared on that real VISIBLE surface and began publishing their unnatural silly guesswork concerning abstract observers of some imaginary cat that could have been affected by some sort of burst of temporary finite invisible quantum particles. All real observers have always seen the real VISIBLE surface of every real cat they have ever seen and they have been able to deduce that the real VISIBLE surface of the cat that did not move was a pretty convincing clue that it would be a real dead cat.
This logically means that it was Nature that designed the only single structure of the real VISIBLE Universe allowable. There must have only ever been one unified VISIBLE infinite surface ETERNALLY occurring in one infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by finite non-surface light.
Finite Time cannot exist in ETERNITY. Finite distance cannot be measured infinitely.

"One of the foundational insights of quantum theory is that, just by observing a system, you change it."
That is not an insight. It is a delusion. Like the famous cat, a coin is neither heads nor tails, until some observer decides to "call it", but that act of observation did not change the state of the coin - it does not collapse into a one-side coin. The observation merely changed the observer's mental state that models the coin, not the coin itself.

Dear Robert H McEachern,
The August 31, 2018, article Dissolving Quantum Paradoxes written by Kate Becker that was published by FQXI.org, contains this utterly incomprehensible statement:
“One way to interpret this is that the observation caused the cat’s wavefunction—the mathematical expression of the cat’s possible states and how likely they are—to "collapse" into a single outcome. But today many theorists favor a different way of thinking, called the "many worlds" interpretation. In this view of things, observing the cat makes reality branch into two separate but equally valid realities. In one, the cat lives; in the other, it dies.”
NATURAL VISIBLE REALITY am not a stupid humanly contrived theory. Nature only ever provided one VISIBLE reality. There has only ever been one unified VISIBLE infinite surface occurring ETERNALLY in one infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by finite non-surface light.

Linguistically, live and dead cat are both the cat object. The live cat though has functioning aerobic respiration and many processes occurring in the body that rely upon that biochemistry. The dead cat is not respiring. Many processes are not functioning because of that and other biochemistry such as autolysis, the break down of cells, is happening. The live and dead cat are not the same object if the biochemistry is considered. Linguistically, broken and intact poison flask are both flask object. Their topology is very different though. Shards of glass are different objects to the intact flask if topology is considered, Linguistically, decayed and non decayed radioactive particle are both the particle. However if an alpha or beta particle is lost they are not the same object anymore. Different objects can't be in a state of superposition, only different states that might be observed pertaining to the same object. So the thought experiment is not a good analogy.

Dear Georgina Woodward,
Natural VISIBLE reality am not a humanly contrived imaginary abstract thought process. Please do try to understand that Nature provided one VISIBLE infinite surface ETERNALLY occurring in one infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by finite non-surface light BEFORE you published your finite guesswork statement at this site.
A real live cat and a real dead cat will always have a real VISIBLE surface. All real cells will always have a real VISIBLE surface. There has never been any invisible finite “processes.” Every real intact poison flask has always had a real VISIBLE surface. Every real shard of every real shattered poison flask has always had a real VISIBLE surface. Invisible quantum particles have never existed. All the lying CERN scientists have ever accomplished am to present a computer enhanced cartoon of supposedly small green finite shaped rectangles representing live quantum particles colliding and turning into smaller yellow rectangles representing decayed quantum particles. Their ridiculous search for the invisible Higgs Boson that supposedly has the least finite amount of mass am insane. Different abstract objects have different abstract finite amounts of invisible “mass.” ALL REAL OBJECTS ETERNALLY SHARE ONE VISIBLE INFINITE SURFACE THAT AM ALWAYS MOSTLY ILLUMINATED BY FINITE NON-SURFACE LIGHT.

Theoretical physics am unnatural human guesswork.

Dear Loyal Reality Followers,

“Stanford University has released a five-part series that outlines the ways that theoretical physicists at Stanford University have contributed to the development of the String Theory Landscape. The series includes profiles of Closer To Truth contributors Leonard Susskind, Andrei Linde, and Alan Guth.”
Naturally, I posted this sagacious comment at the website:
Provable fact: The real Earth had a real VISIBLE surface for millions of years before any Stanford University theoretical physicists ever appeared on that real VISIBLE surface and began publishing their utterly unnatural silly guesswork about invisible finite imaginary universes. Multiple universes would require multiple realities.

Dear Potential Realists,
Yesterday’s Closer to Truth Facebook page contained this ridiculous statement:
“Could information be the stuff of which everything is made? Information seems so abstract, not a substance or a thing, so how could it be the building blocks of reality? There are ways and reasons how information can literally be reality, some scientists claim, and their ideas are revolutionary. Cosmologist and professor Sean M. Carroll provides his perspective on our featured topic of the week in this interview.”
I have posted this comment at the website:
Unnatural humanly contrived information has absolutely nothing to do with realty. There are many types of humanly devised finite information. There am only one VISIBLE reality. INDISPUTABLE FACT: The real Earth had a real VISIBLE surface for millions of years before Professor Sean M. Carroll appeared on that real VISIBLE surface and began publishing his unnatural silly guesswork concerning invisible quantum particles.
Logically, NATURE must have devised the only real physical structure of the Universe allowable. There must only have ever been one unified VISIBLE infinite surface ETERNALLY occurring in one infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by finite non-surface light.

Dear Reality Brethren,
Today’s Closer to Truth Facebook page contained this codswallop assertion:
“Is it possible to believe that information is the ultimate reality when one believes in God? Don Page is a quantum physicist who believes in God.

Fortunately, for sensible folk’s sake, I left this comment at the website:

"Let’s say we would like to decide whether there’s really a superposition of the dead cat and living cat," says Renner, returning to the Schrödinger’s cat paradox. "If we want to do that we have to control the system extremely well," in particular the wavefunction, says Renner. That level of control would require an exquisitely precise clock—one that might be impossible to build.
If Renner and del Rio can show that such a precise quantum clock is a physical impossibility, that would meant that there is no way to discriminate between a superposition and a mixture in a "macroscopic" object like a cat, and the difference between the two states would lose its meaning. "Then the distinction between superpositions and mixtures is just a mathematical curiosity without a ’physically existing’ counterpart," says Renner. "The paradox would dissolve."
A few questions:
1) Are they arguing that we cannot know time accurately due to the time energy uncertainty principle? If so then can they use an observable that commutes with time?
2) What is the theoretical limit of an optical frequency comb?
3) Bell's inequalities tells us there are no local hidden variables but it does not rule out nonlocal hidden variables. If the collapse of a wavefunction is a nonlocal process, like measuring the spin between two entangled particles, then how does that impact our understanding of causality and time? Is there a second higher speed limit for a collapsing wavefunction or must it be instantaneous to prevent violating the conservation of angular momentum?
4) Why is everyone obsessed with quantum gravity?

Dear Brian B,
Reality am not questionable. Pretentious pseudo scientific abstract codswallop am unfalteringly suspicious. I am not obsessed with quantum gravity because I know that one real Universe must have only one real VISIBLE structure.
There has only been one true fact about reality that everyone could understand: The real Earth had a real VISIBLE surface for millions of real years before any theoretical physicists ever appeared on that real VISIBLE surface and began publishing their utterly unnatural preposterous guesswork concerning finite invisible quantum gravity. Obviously, NATURE must have produced the only real VISIBLE structure of the real VISIBLE Universe obtainable.
There has only ever been, and there will only ever be, one real unified VISIBLE infinite surface ETERNALLY occurring in one real infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by real finite non-surface light.

Brian,
A few answers:
1) Are they arguing that we cannot know time accurately due to the time energy uncertainty principle? If so then can they use an observable that commutes with time?
They seem to be arguing that the uncertainty principle is the ultimate limit, but perhaps other physical circumstances limit what can be done, even before the uncertainty principle limit is reached.
2) What is the theoretical limit of an optical frequency comb?
The limit of all observables is given by Shannon's Capacity Theorem, which in the case of the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle, reduces to the statement that, every set of measurements, must contain one or more bits of information; if you have failed to extract even a single bit of information, from within all the data bits comprising your set of measurements, then you have failed to make anything worthy of being called a measurement.
3) Bell's inequalities tells us there are no local hidden variables but it does not rule out nonlocal hidden variables. If the collapse of a wavefunction is a nonlocal process, like measuring the spin between two entangled particles, then how does that impact our understanding of causality and time? Is there a second higher speed limit for a collapsing wavefunction or must it be instantaneous to prevent violating the conservation of angular momentum?
Bell's inequality is derived from the false assumption that something ELSE always remains to be measured, after the first measurement of an entangled pair has been performed. But that is obviously false, when the entity being measured manifests only a single-bit of information - the Heisenberg limit. In this peculiar case, not only are there no hidden-variables, there are no variables (plural) at all - there is only one bit.
4) Why is everyone obsessed with quantum gravity?
Because, like oil and water, gravity and quantum theories do not mix, but everyone thinks that they should be modified so that they do.

REALITY AM REAL. REALITY AM NOT FINITE. Reality could not possibly have a finite optimistic, or finite pessimistic future that might result in a different kind of finite reality suddenly appearing. Natural VISIBLE reality must be understood by all living creatures at all times and in all places located in the real VISIBLE Universe. That could only happen if there was only one real permanent VISIBLE universal physical structure.
There has only been one true fact about reality that everyone could understand: The real Earth had a real VISIBLE surface for millions of real years before Professor of Astrophysics Geraint F. Lewis ever appeared on that real VISIBLE surface and began publishing his unnatural preposterous finite cosmological guesswork Obviously, NATURE must have produced the only real VISIBLE structure of the real VISIBLE Universe obtainable. Would Professor of Astrophysics Geraint F. Lewis deny that he and all of the creatures that have ever lived have always had a real VISIBLE surface? Would Professor of Astrophysics Geraint F. Lewis deny that no matter in which direction he might choose to look, he would only ever see real VISIBLE surface? There has only ever been, and there will only ever be, one real unified VISIBLE infinite surface ETERNALLY occurring in one real infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by real finite non-surface light.

Dear Dr. Kuhn,
As you probably know, Capital One Bank is sponsoring a one round of golf match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelsen to be played on November 23, 2018, at the exclusive Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada. The winner will be paid $9 million.
I humbly suggest that a debate be arranged monitored by you, that would involve Professor Max Tegmark, arguing for the big bang creation of the universe; Professor Eleanore Stump, arguing for the Divine creation of the universe; and Joe Fisher, arguing for Natural Visible Reality. Perhaps, Fetzer Franklin Fund and The Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation, could be persuaded to provide a $10 million prize to be given to the winner of the debate.
The debate could take place before a live audience in Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York, on the evening of October 31, 2019, and last from 08:00 PM EST to 10:00 PM EST. The debate would obviously be televised by the PBS channel. There would be a discussion panel of experts, and even a public vote of the winner might be feasible.
Sincerely,

Our understanding of wave function collapse uses the language of “standard analysis,” which is not a good language for talking about existence— which is the problem here.

"The particle jumps from trajectory to trajectory in those computer generated graphics in Bohm and Hiley’s book." But there remains no good reason to suppose that any such jumping happens in reality.
"When it happens to hit the detection screen, who knows what trajectory it would have been following?" No one, precisely because no one ever even attempted to follow it.
"The distribution follows the Schrodinger equation." Precisely, because, rather than attempting to follow anything along any trajectory, the equation, together with the Born Rule, merely describes the detection statistics that can be observed, by a set of stationary detectors, sitting wherever the equation happens to specify. An animal-trap, does not reveal the path the animal took to arrive at the trap. The problem arose when Schrodinger switched from using a single equation/wavefunction to describe a single particle's trajectory, to using the same, single equation/wavefunction to describe something (He knew not what) about ALL particles simultaneously. This does not work correctly - precisely because the latter enables the "jumping" in the solution (entirely due to noise), that does not correspond to any phenomenon in the real world; the "cost-function" being minimized (least-squared error), behaves differently (produces a very different solution to the equation - one enabling "jumping") in the case of ANY noise in ANY measurement or ANY error in ANY potential used in the equation. It will drive ALL and ALL errors to zero, via the "jumping".

How to interprete a "wave function collapse"? Robert McEachern has the most convincing to me answer: The many delusive worlds of wave function models are turning out to be conceptually different from just one reasonably assumed obvious reality. We don't need non-standard analysis as to understand this and related weirdness.
Having looked in Robert's power point presentation, I just criticize his naive use of Fourier transformation with integration from minus infinity to plus infinity over time. Shannon understood that the definitely real unchangeable past is essentially different from the many predictable and influencable possible futures which are permanently collapsing with growing time. Really already elapsed (past) time is not delusive.
Every human so far was born from exactly one woman and one man, no matter whether or not his family tree is known. Theoretically he has a huge number of ancestors after millions of generations. However, the hypothetic family tree of his grand-grand-grand children will collapse as do wave functions.

Eckard,
"I just criticize his naive use of Fourier transformation with integration from minus infinity to plus infinity over time."
Perhaps it is not quite as naive as it appears. As you know, physics seeks to discover and model predictable phenomenon. So, if perfect predictions are possible, it would enable perfect predictions of the past and future, from a finite duration set of observations. So instead of just integrating over the finite duration of actual measurements, one could integrate over the infinite duration predictions made by the model. This is why the process works for predictable phenomenon. This is why there is an "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" when applied to perfectly predictable phenomenon. And it is also why it is, rather less effective, when applied to unpredictable phenomenon. The latter, is what Shannon's theory is all about.

Rob,
PREdiction of the past did imply reversed direction of time. Claude Shannon was not naive. He didn't accept Laplace's determinism instead of common sense. He meant that the past is known in principle but cannot be changed while the future can be influenced but is not known for sure.
I consider you one of the few who understand that reality is quite different even from the best theory. If one integrates as if there was no fundamental difference between past and future, then one ignores that the restriction to the limited number of Laplacean initial conditions implies the loss of the perhaps infinite amount of unconsidered influences.
In case of analysing measured data, measured future data are not yet available.
Perfect PREdictions may only seem possible to the extent one feels safe to exclude unseen erratic influences. In other words, perfectly predictable phenomena are belonging to models, not to reality.
Maybe, you mistook my criticism. I didn't blame you personally but Laplace, Fourier, and current mainstream physics. Integration either from minus infinity to t=0 in case of analysis or from t=0 to plus infinity would not ignore the conceptual difference between past and future of reality. Both of these half-sided integrals are likewise infinite.
In contrast to Wigner, I don't see an unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. Decomposition into Fourier components is equivalent to decomposition into Cosine components, even if this looks stunning.
Of course, we certainly agree:
Actual measurements imply additional deviations from reality: They are restricted to finite duration and to a finite number of sampled data.
And Shannon's theory contradicts to Laplace's determinism of future.

Maybe, you mistook my criticism. I didn't blame you personally but Laplace, Fourier, and current mainstream physics. Integration either from minus infinity to t=0 in case of analysis or from t=0 to plus infinity would not ignore the conceptual difference between past and future of reality. Both of these half-sided integrals are likewise infinite.
In contrast to Wigner, I don't see an unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. Decomposition into Fourier components is equivalent to decomposition into Cosine components, even if this looks stunning.
Of course, we certainly agree:
Actual measurements imply additional deviations from reality: They are restricted to finite duration and to a finite number of sampled data.
And Shannon's theory contradicts to Laplace's determinism of future.

Eckard,
As you may recall from my 2012 FQXi essay, I make a big distinction between computational models and physical models of reality. I think things like Fourier transforms are very useful as computational models/tools. But, like you, I believe they are not good physical models. The actual, physical processes occurring in the world, are not based on any infinite, orthogonal functions. Attempting to interpret them as if they are, is a long-standing problem.

Dear Dr. Kuhn,
Today’s Closer To Truth Facebook page contained this peculiar announcement:
“Visit the 'dark side' of the universe. Black holes cannot be seen because gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. Dark matter cannot be seen because its particles hardly interact with ordinary matter. What is the meaning of the dark side? Kip Thorne is a theoretical physicist, known for his contributions in gravitational physics and astrophysics.”
I posted this sensible comment at the website and on the Community Board of FQXI.org., and on my Facebook page.
Natural VISIBLE reality can be seen by all creatures in all places at all times. You do not have to spend a single moment of your time on earth searching for the truth about VISIBLE reality. There cannot be any mystery about VISIBLE reality. The only irrefutable fact you will ever need to know about VISIBLE reality am that the real Earth had a real VISIBLE surface for millions of years before Kip Thorne ever appeared on that real VISIBLE surface and began publishing his unnatural preposterous guesswork concerning invisible finite black holes. Obviously, the only nature, that has provided us with real VISIBLE mountains, and real VISIBLE oceans, and real VISIBLE deserts, and real VISIBLE jungles, and real VISIBLE ice caps, must have given to us the only VISIBLE reality allowed. There has only ever been, and there will only ever be one unified VISIBLE infinite surface ETERNALLY occurring in one infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by finite non-surface light.

Getting more fundamental in physics means getting more appropriate in reality.
In Reality, FQXi didn't yet fulfil their promise "before the end of the year".

Visible Fisher,
"...The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this," wrote Einstein in German in a 1954 letter to Erich Gutkind.
Instead of dealing with Susskind and Penrose, I will check Klingman's extended FQXi essay

I emailed this information to Templeton Foundation:
The Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi), in collaboration with the Templeton World Charity Foundation, is launching a major new $6.9M research grants program entitled Information as Fuel.
Reality am not tensed. Unfortunately, the geniuses who put the English language together must have assumed that there was a definite past, a definite present, and a predictable future. No theoretical physicist has ever stated: “I is guessing that the universe slowly emerged from out of a empty void.” Many a theoretical physicist has gained great fame and vast fortune for firmly stating: “I am guessing that the universe slowly emerged from out of an empty void thirteen and three quarters of a billion light years ago.”
Any sensible person should know that reality could only have been provided by nature. The only irrefutable fact the physicists have been able to prove am that the real Earth had a real VISIBLE surface for millions of years before any theoretical physicists ever appeared on that real VISIBLE surface and began publishing their utterly unnatural silly guesswork concerning finite invisible quantum particle phenomena. Reality was designed by NATURE to be fully understood by all living creatures in all places at all times. Nature must have provided the only real VISIBLE physical structure of the real Universe allowable. Obviously, the only nature, that has provided us with real VISIBLE mountains, and real VISIBLE oceans, and real VISIBLE deserts, and real VISIBLE jungles, and real VISIBLE ice caps, must have given to us the only VISIBLE reality allowed. There has only ever been, and there will only ever be one unified VISIBLE infinite surface ETERNALLY occurring in one infinite dimension that am always mostly illuminated by finite non-surface light.

Georgina,
"page 10" of which paper? Einstein's 1905, one out of Klingman's, or Crothers'?
"The confirmation of the Crothers refutation for the special theory of relativity" by Colin James III 2018 has only one page.

By the way, I didn't give the viXra link because I intended mentioning APS.
