Apologies if I offended anyone somehow, didn't mean to.mfb said:That's fine. Just keep in mind that several users in this thread are physicists and publish papers.
Well, sure, isn't that the problem when you assume that outcome is created in the act the measurement? At which point you will have infinite number of past histories, infinite number of diagrams to consider etc.It just does not work. If you start with the actual physics (the calculations), this is directly obvious. If you start with Feynman diagrams, it is hard to forget that wrong idea.
Consider this, for example: for every possible process, if you have any chance to draw Feynman diagrams, you have an infinite number of Feynman diagrams. And all of them contribute to every process. So how do you find out "which diagram happened"? You cannot. Not even in principle, because "this diagram happened" is not a meaningful concept.
What if you assume what I am postulating that outcome is created at the act of emission or each next junction is decided at the previous junction on the diagram?
Past history becomes irrelevant at each junction. Am I completely off the mark here?
