| Quantum Mechanics | Wheeler | Genz II 291 Quantum Mechanics/Interference/Mirror/Wheeler/Genz: it is not about interference at all. N.B.: it is about the presence or absence of the second semipermeable mirror which does not allow the assumption or allow the photon to take any particular path. If the mirror is in its place, both paths must have contributed. N.B.: the experimenter can make the decision in the course of the experiment! ((s) That is, after the photon has already passed the position. >reverse causality. II 292 Gravitational lens effect/Genz: here the same principle plays a role, the photons have perhaps been traveling for millenniums, after they have passed the galaxy. Later, it is decided which way they have "taken". Wave function/quantum mechanics/Genz: the wave function states that the photon cannot be assigned a single way around the galaxy. >Wave function. Delayed choice/quantum mechanics/Genz: the delayed choice amplifies the oddities of quantum mechanics. II 293 Copenhagen interpretation/Genz: Genz does not admit any reality to the quantum world. Therefore, Wheeler's "smoky dragon" (which makes the intermediate steps unrecognizable) is not needed. Therefore, it does not allow the "ghostly remote effects" (Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen EPRVsCopenhagen interpretation) as an argument. >Copenhagen interpretation. Delayed choice/semipermeable mirrors/Wheeler/Genz: his experiment can clarify what the principle of free will forbids (see above): For example, it could be that with the decision whether the photon chooses one or the other way, also the other decision is made,... II 294 ...whether the experimenter will install one or the other device. Genz II 295 Wheeler/Natural laws/Genz: Thesis: God must roll dice, otherwise we could not understand "his" laws. >Understanding. Law/Wheeler: thesis: every law will ultimately prove to be statistical. |

| Copenhague Interpr. | Fraassen Vs Copenhague Interpr. | I 175 Copenhagen Interpretation/CI/Double Slit/Quantum Mechanics/QM/Fraassen: revolutionary: the number that results from the formula Pmw(E) is the conditional probability of a result that is within E, given that the observable m was measured in a system in state w - VsBorn: no trajectory through the upper slit: instead. I a I ² is the probability (prob.) that if a measurement is made, we obtain a light spot - to say that a system is in a certain state only indicates a relation of conditional probabilities of measurements - FraassenVsCopenhagen Interpretation: it is not certain whether the concepts of probability and conditional probability are applicable - I 177 but the Copenhagen interpretation allows viewing probability as a measure of objective variables: the frequency of results - problem: when no measurements are made. |
