Spooky Actions At A Distance?: Oppenheimer Lecture
Loading...
Uploaded by UCBerkeleyEvents on Mar 31, 2008
Speaker: N. David Mermin
Einstein's real complaint about the quantum theory was not that it required God to play dice, but that it failed to "represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky actions at a distance." I shall use the rhetorical device of a computer-simulated lecture demonstration (a cartoon version of recent experiments in Vienna) to explain both the appeal of Einstein's criticism and the remarkable act that the "reality" he insisted upon is nevertheless unattainable.

@skdkskdk Oh yeah. I'd forgotten I'd written that. By the time *that* lengthy introduction was over, everyone would have gotten up and left, and the speaker would be addressing an empty house.
-
@sbergman27 Amen!
-
tap that arsh!
-
@dedalus have a youtube link for another one?

Maybe this is why bohr didnt use the word reality much. Here is his quote..
"We are suspended in language in such a way that we cannot say what is up and what is down. The word "reality" is also a word, a word which we must learn to use correctly."

the 2-2-2 position gonna mess up all his quantum thinkig...thats why he skip over that....:)
-
very good lecture and good explanation
-
There's steam pouring through my ears!
Ugh... *leaves quantum physics and goes back to good old biology*
-
he doesn't really explain why you can't use the 2-2-2 position...

My word! Even by the standards of academia, this "credit accounting" is tedious! Just skip to 09:30 to avoid the verbose introduction of the introducer, and the mostly irrelevant, but more verbose, introduction of the speaker. Just once I'd love to hear "He championed this idea in 1976, which turned out to be incorrect. And then championed that idea in 1985, which also turned out to be incorrect, and then...". ;-)
