Reply to Hofer-Szabó: the PBR theorem hasn't been saved
Marcoen JTF Cabbolet
Recently, in Found. Phys. 53: 64 (2023), it has been argued that there is no reality to the PBR theorem. In Found. Phys. 54: 36 (2024), Hofer-Szabó has commented that the argument…
Addendum to `On the nonreality of the PBR theorem': disproof by generic counterexample
Marcoen J. T. F. Cabbolet
The PBR theorem is widely seen as one of the most important no-go theorems in the foundations of quantum mechanics. Recently, in Found. Phys. 53(3): 64 (2023), it has been argued t…
On the nonreality of the PBR theorem
Marcoen J. T. F. Cabbolet
The PBR theorem has been hailed as one of the most important theorems in the foundations of quantum mechanics (QM), , cf. E. Samuel Reich, "Quantum theorem shakes foundations", Nat…
On the fundamentally probabilistic nature of the knowledge of a microsystem in the framework of the Elementary Process Theory
Marcoen J. T. F. Cabbolet
A fundamental question in the debate about the interpretations of quantum mechanics (QM) is whether the universe is fundamentally deterministic or fundamentally probabilistic. This…
Comment to 'On the reality of the quantum state'
Marcoen J. T. F. Cabbolet
In Nature Phys. 8:475-478 (2012), Pusey, Barrett, and Rudolph have claimed that ψ-epistemic quantum mechanics (QM) is inconsistent with predictions of standard QM. Here we show tha…
Berkelian Idealism Regarding Properties in Orthodox Quantum Mechanics, and Implications for Quantum Gravity
Marcoen J. T. F. Cabbolet
Referring to the 18th century idealism of George Berkeley in which an object exists if and only if it is observed, this note shows that orthodox quantum mechanics (OQM) entails a B…
A category mistake in observational claims regarding ultrashort-lived unstable particles
Marcoen J. T. F. Cabbolet
The physics literature contains many claims that ultrashort-lived unstable particles, such as a Higgs boson, have been observed. These claims are a matter of applying the -conv…
Comment to a paper [arXiv:1103.4937] of M. Villata on antigravity
Marcoen J. T. F. Cabbolet
In a recent paper of M. Villata [arXiv:1103.4937], it is claimed that "antigravity appears as a prediction of general relativity when CPT is applied." However, the present paper ar…
