AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, questioning its validity and whether it has been disproven. Participants clarify that it is an interpretation, not a physical theory, and emphasize that quantum mechanics itself cannot be deemed incorrect, even if it doesn't align with general relativity at all scales. The conversation also touches on the philosophical implications of interpreting physical theories, suggesting that no theory can be universally correct in every context. Additionally, there is a note that the thread may be moved to a more appropriate forum due to its philosophical nature. Overall, the debate highlights the complexities and limitations of interpreting quantum mechanics.

You refer to an interpretation of quantum mechanics, which cannot be proven wrong-- only the quantum mechanics itself. That is known to not be consistent at all scales with general relativity, but that doesn't necessarily make quantum mechanics wrong. For my own part, I think it is naive to imagine that a physical theory could be exactly correct in every situation.

It appears that this is going to be a philosophy topic, so this thread will be moved to the appropriate forum.

This doesn't meet minimum qualifications for a thread here.
 

Thread 'Status Update by JRMichler'

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
