Summary of Hidden Variables (extra) - Sixty Symbols

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

In this video, a professor talks about the theory of hidden variables, which suggests that there are some unknown variables that play a role in quantum mechanics. He says that local hidden variable theories are ruled out by this, but that doesn't actually rule out hidden variable theories. He then goes on to say that you need to produce modifications of the theory which are perfectly okay.

• 00:00:00 This lecture is about the theory of hidden variables, which is the idea that there are some unknown variables that play a role in quantum mechanics, which can cause correlations between events to be greater than what would be expected in a purely quantum mechanical system. The three experimentalists who got the Nobel Prize for testing Bell's inequality were present in the room, and David Bohm was also present.
• 00:05:00 This video is about a very senior Professor who introduced the idea of hidden variables. He said that local hidden variable theories are ruled out by this, but that doesn't actually rule out hidden variable theories. He then went on to say that you need to produce modifications of the theory which are perfectly okay. This prompted him to produce a book called "Wholeness in the Implicate Order." He said that you might want to read about it in this book. After buying the book, he went back to the professor's office and talked with him.
