Witchdoctors confutation of the famous double slit experiment and the consequences go pretty far beyond the simple blunder. You may have thought about it and you are on the right track.
Yes of course many will try to downplay it. Or as in the charlatan economy fields, marxist,classical, neoclassical or post Keyness ( a blunder in the name), as they do right now in regard to MMT ,they will try to explain that they knew it all along or that this is a minor issue or whatever to keep their own wages, positions, power and spending power intact and lick the … of the bosses. And ignoring is the best one can do, for science sake.
And, they will try to keep on, regardless,as they always do.
Like, some surveys show that over 30% of the physicists believe in the Everett many worlds theory. Because only this theory solves the other ,attached, big problems the current physics is witnessing.
So as , roughly, the theory goes, at each wave collapse the spacetime branches and produces many Universes.The famous degrees of freedom etc…
Now. You know, WD is at this moment grinning, and , laughing.
OK. Lets do it in a satirical way:many worlds pop up in daylight and they go to sleep at night.
When you shine a light, they pop up, when you switch it off, they, hmm, disappear?
They only confutation of this WD confutation would be that after one shines a light, the situation is not reversible any more.The wave function collapse is for ever. Hmm, you are joking? Show it. So, after the light interferes with the electron, the electron becomes a particle for ever, regardless if you shine a light on him again and again and again.
Or, when you shoot an electron, and after its wave function collapses with the light interfering upon , this electron is lost in his degrees of freedom, it branches with another famous-action at distance-, for ever in this Universe and the new Universe pops up…somewhere over the rainbow. With Witchdoctor in it, typing this text backwards.
Instead of a simple explanation that wave collapse is a way to see the “position” which was the goal of the slit experiment, and use this collapse as a READABLE “PARTICLE” Information, we have a constant Big Bang many worlds creation by simple collapse of electron wave function.
One can conclude that making the Big Bangs is a piece of cake and , then, what is the deal.. one can hitch there eventually.
Witchdoctor has written here about the Fideistic foundation of science, this is even a magic.
But lets have fun more, on other fields that the human history trash produced, like art, architecture and the overall culture.
The classical period in history
It lasted for centuries in the West! From the renaissance till the infamous modernism. And even now. This was the (in)famous back to the roots ideology, back to the origins, the ancient Greek and roman style and civilization reinterpreted as the new bond between the so called western roots of civilization originating in Greece, reinterpreted in Rome and coming back in your town.. you know, the Elgin marbles, the whole story before and after…
As you noted, the whole thing was and is dazzling white. Sculptures, pillars, freezes, all the lot.
Like Capitol Hill and other reinvented back to the origins culture.
This was the blunder which lasted for centuries. The people who discovered again , as a back to the roots movement,the remnants of the Greek sculptures and architecture,have found them white! They were color white or, they thought, dirty here or there. Everything they saw in this ruins was white.But it was washed by the rain, wind, and bleached by the sun.
They never thought that this chic white, so sober and austere and so strikingly modern in a sense of virginal whiteness, was once painted in dazzling colors! All sculptures, pillars, freezes,roofs floors, all, all was painted in the colors that even the Maya civilization did not use in such colorful combinations.They – the Greeks- painted even the strikingly colored ornaments on top of the already colored stuff.All clothes, veils, etc, on the statues were painted and with painted ornaments of the time. It was ,if the back to the roots westerners saw it as they were once, from the western point of view, more kitschy than the stuff they were seeing in Morocco, India, Far East or similar places. But, they took it as a real MCCOY ! They frowned on this primitive arabs, indians or far east people as savages who do not understand the western essence, the Greek austere whiteness of virginal metaphysical beauty, so near to the ideals they invented and which never existed in place when Greeks did this stuff..
From this fake interpretation of the Greek civilization they made a fake but real civilization of the west. They invented the origins from their prejudices or inclinations or ignorance and sold this stuff for centuries in the West.
More fun than that one can hardly imagine; for centuries, writing, debating, conforming to,building,making art, living this fake!
To be continued.
