| | [AI summary] The text discusses the implications of quantum mechanics and the concept of expected energy in quantum systems. It highlights the difference between the average energy of a quantum state and the energy of the system post-measurement, emphasizing that the former is a statistical average while the latter is determined by the measurement outcome. The discussion also touches on the broader context of quantum theory, including the role of measurement and the probabilistic nature of quantum states. Additionally, it references the importance of energy in physical processes and the connection to classical thermodynamics, suggesting that while quantum mechanics provides a framework for understanding energy at a fundamental level, classical concepts still...

| | My good friend Sean Carroll took a lot of flak recently for answering this year's Edge question, "What scientific idea is ready for retirement?," with "Falsifiability", and for using string theory and the multiverse as examples of why science needs to break out of its narrow Popperian cage. For more, seethis blog post of Sean's,...

| | I'm getting tired of writing about free will, as what I'm really interested in is determinism of the physics sort, and, as far as we know, determinism is true except in the realm of quantum mechanics-where it may still be true, but probably not. So let me lump quantum mechanics and other physical laws together...
