    I What is so compelling in the superposition theorem?

    My question is, if the determinism theorem is a good explanation, which covers all holes of the entanglement experiment. why are people still concluding its a 'spooky' superposition which is only determined by a measure and then somehow affects the other measurement. What am I missing? Why is...

    The superposition theorem for electrical circuits

    Hi fellow physicist! I have some trouble with finding a valid argument, for why the superposition theorem should be fulfilled for electrical circuits - there only containing resistors, capacitors and inductors - where the sources of the emf. are connected in series. Thanks in advance.
