In Bomi and mechanics, which is one particular version of hidden variable theories, aka the pilot wave theory, there is a notion called equivariance. Equivariance says that if you start the distribution of particle positions in a random selection that follows the probability distribution given by the wave function squared, then it will continue to do so. Owa OWE: I've recently been reading general relativity for babies to my 16 month old son. One of one page talks about how a spinning mass drags space with it similar to how rest mass warps space time. He believes that an object spinning in space will continue to spin indefinitely, absent an external force due to angular momentum being conserved
Welcome to the December 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
Remember that I take a holiday break at the end of the year, so the next AMA will be at the beginning of February.
