Is Quantum Mechanics the Whole Truth?

Physics

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

I draw an analogy between the “measurement paradox” of quantum mechanics in 2019 and the “Gibbs paradox” of statistical physics in 1875, and use it to argue that we have good reason to believe that the answer to the question in my title is “no”.
