Quantum mysteries disentangled

I just stumbled across a video on The Quantum Conspiracy: What Popularizers of QM Don't Want you to know. It was a Google Tech Talk January 6, 2011 Presented by Ron Garret. His paper is Quantum Mysteries Disentangled.

It is an explanation of some of the mysteries of quantum mechanics, by a non-physicist. He has a slightly unconventional view that I did not find totally persuasive. But I do agree with him that physicists present the subject as more mysterious than it really is, as if there is a conspiracy to confuse you.

A reader sends the 1997 paper, Quantum Mechanics of Measurement, N. J. Cerf, C. Adami, for more details on Garret's view.

  1. I'm interested in knowing what you didn't find convincing, because I lean towards, if not exactly Garret's explanation, the same QIT ballpark.
