• Are de Broglie's "subquantic medium" and the superfluid dark matter the same stuff?
    According to Bell's theorem "No physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics."

    Existence of dark matter is postulated by observations about gravitational effects, and gravity is generally considered to be local, ie. subluminal force.

    Under these premisses nonlocal supraluminal hidden variable can't be a local subluminal force.
  • Brexit


    Brexit would very likely lead to breaking of UK, Scotland preferring EU as independent and Northern Ireland preferring EU as member of Ireland. Tory leadership (unlike Tory and UKIP voters) most likely considers EU membership as lesser evil that UK breaking up and only England and Wales remaining. This, most likely, is the decisive, fundamental calculation.

    Next, tactical question for Tory leadership, how to avoid Brexit and put the political blame of remaining on the opposition? As it seems, the tactic seems to be to botch up the "deal" on purpose, and leave it to majority of House of Commons to take initiative to last minute revoke of article 50 nominally "against" the May government, to avoid threat of no deal Brexit, but de facto doing exactly as planned. And majority of the public opinion wrath goes against Labour.
  • Existential Quantification and Counterfactuals
    "The nature of EQ is to assert that there is at least one object being quantified that exists"

    In that case, is 'empty set' factual, counterfactual, both, neither?
