So sorry:-) > Are their any areas of physics we may be at odds about Come to think of it, I don't recall any post of yours, regarding physics, that I would seriously disagree with. >for example what are your views on say GR singularity theorems or QM >interpretations? > I'll plead ignorance regarding GR. Loved the topic when I was a graduate student, a quarter century ago, but had very little to with it since then (and there was lots of new work done in the field since then). As for QM, I subscribe to the "shut up and calculate" interpretation or, if you prefer, to the belief that "until there are good solid reasons to adopt any specific interpretation, one should adopt no specific interpretation."
