| | | | | With unique and outstanding achievements in mathematics and science, John von Neumann was on an intellectual level far above us; the oft-misused term genius truly applies to him. Von Neumann, brilliant in both pure and applied mathematics, was a towering figure of 20th century science. As a child, he demonstrated a prodigious memory and computational... | |

| | | This post explains quantum mechanics (QM) without any advanced math. Unlike most introductions, I will focus on the interpretation of QM: what the objects in the theory mean and how they fit into a broader philosophy of doing physics. Specifically, I explain why the Von Neumann-Wigner interpretation, a variant of the standard Copenhagen interpretation, is... | ||
