Bell's theorem and why nonlocality is problematic When you say "... it used to be thought that physics would be too arbitrary," do you mean something like what Einstein says in that paragraph? Are you saying this is 'old fashioned'? If so, can you point me to a good counter-argument? |

Bell's theorem and why nonlocality is problematic That's from "Quantum Mechanics and Reality" ("Quanten-Mechanik und Wirklichkeit", Dialectica 2:320-324, 1948), as cited here (I haven't found an english translation of the full paper) |

Bell's theorem and why nonlocality is problematic "The following idea characterises the relative independence of objects far apart in space, A and B: external influence on A has no direct influence on B; this is known as the Principle of Local Action, which is used consistently only in field theory. If this axiom were to be completely abolished, the idea of the existence of quasienclosed systems, and thereby the postulation of laws which can be checked empirically in the accepted sense, would become impossible." -Einstein |

Bell's theorem and why nonlocality is problematic Ron, are still you listening to this site? You say: "Locality is emphasized, because without locality, it used to be thought that physics would be too arbitrary." I am wondering exactly what you mean here. Recently I found a short paragraph quoted from an Einstein paper: |

About Susskind's claim “information is indestructible” I think he means time evolution is invertible... in other words, +1 @Raskolnikov comment. |

Introduction to Anderson localization Besides, a tag wiki is not a place where someone requests something. If I want to request book recommendations on a subject, how do I do it? I really don't understand yet this idea of moving all book list questions to tag wikis... |

Introduction to Anderson localization I am aware of the current intentions to move book recommendations into tag wikis. But I don't think there's a tag for Anderson localization. |

What is the “direction” of the transition dipole moment? (Understanding Eq. 9.29, Charge and Energy Transfer 3rd Ed, May & Kuhn) Agree with @michielm. Can you explain? In what setting are the wave functions real? If it isn't real, the unit vector n is a complex vector. What's the meaning of its "direction"? |
