A man recognized as "The world's leading Quantum Experimentalist" ? Off

You do not have a clue where science currently stands on explaining QM.

Yep, Feynman is of your mark too.

By Green Fairies, no doubt about that.

I did not say that : I said the non-locality is due to (almost) infinite
speeds, unmeasurable to us. I am pleading absolute non-determinism. A
particle at infinite speed has no determined position.

You do the magic and the fairies, as you do not accept a simple,
mechanistic, physical interpretation. Ftl is physical, accepting that a
particle is at two points at the same time, without physical
explanation, is green fairyland.
But, I am beginning to doubt you even can understand.

I remember that you are the guy that rejected Newton because he was a
"Natural Philosopher".
If you can reject Newton on semantics, what else is NEXT ?

First : I do not "believe" in ANYTHING. But QM is proven in experiments.
I just explain these experiments. With FTL, and even worse : with
"infinite" speeds.

So, now YOU KNOW uncertainty ? Tell me, because I think that it still is
uncertain.
You just blather mantras.

You do ? Explain us !!!!!!
Please ! Please ????

That applies to you. You do not even understand that nobody understands
QM. Except me, of course.

Could you be less cryptic ? Or do you want to hid your absolute
cluelessness ? It does not work, I already knew you were clueless.
But there was a chance, well I'd faster win the euromillions, that you
might have some real brain cells left, and were able to ... ok I give up..

LGF's. Magic. Yes, I reject those. I actually do understand them, and
quite like them. In fairy tales and movies.

I found FTL. And yes those LGF's, I refuse to look for them.

A state that is five miles long. Ok.

So the state, five miles long, gets changed instantly on both ends ?

It is an interpretation based on all the experiments I have seen on QM.

But you haven't got a clue how it explains it ?

Try for yourself, by all means, as you are clueless about the current
state of QM.
Zeilinger is NOT "off the mark", he just knows perfectly were the
science stands. And you clearly do not even have the slightest clue.

Look who is talking.
I eagerly await your interpretation of QM.
In the mean time, I will publish mine.
I guess I will never read yours, I can be the next Einstein,
but you can only be the next Hayek...
by that time, maybe they start calling physicists natural pholosophers
again, so you will have to abhor your own title...
