[MD] Uncertainty

[Ian Glendinning]

Yes,
Bell's response to the EPR paper is included in the Lindley book too.
Just because Einstein didn't nail it in that paper, doesn't mean his
underlying concern was wrong - just difficult to present a case. As I
understand it his two "identical" electrons "thought experiment" was
flawed in its initial boundary conditions being impossible in reality.
Easy for logicians and mathematicians to find the fault - much harder
to find reality.

Sad thing is, that same soap-opera is still on a long "interval".

(You probably heard me mention Dennett & greedy reductionism before ?)
Regards
Ian
