The recent analysis of De la Torre, Daleo and Garcia-Mata of the reply of Bohr to the famous clock-in-the-box challenge of Einstein is criticized.
The aim of this note is to attract attention of experimenters to the original Bell (OB) inequality which was shadowed by the common consideration of the CHSH inequality. There are two reasons to test the OB inequality and not the CHSH…
Although Bohr's reply to the EPR argument is supposed to be a watershed moment in the development of his philosophy of quantum theory, it is difficult to find a clear statement of the reply's philosophical point. Moreover, some have claimed…
One of the fundamental problems with the interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, according to Bohr, is the fact that "our usual description of physical phenomena is based entirely on the idea that the phenomena concerned may be observed…
We find it absurd that Walliser [1] essentially used the same analysis and obtained identical results as reported in [3], yet arrived at different conclusions. Namely, based on an incomplete theory and using erroneous arguments, he not only…
I present here critical comment to the recent e-print "Proximity effect in ultrafin Pb/Ag multilayers within the Cooper limit" by by O.Bourgeois, A.Frydman and R.C.Dynes, demonstrating that the interpretaion of the data presented in…
There were two famous conjectures on complete affine maximal surfaces, one due to E. Calabi, the other to S.S. Chern. Both were solved with different methods about one decade ago by studying the associated Euler-Lagrange equation. Here we…
The traditional optical concept for the object does not provide an experimental feasibility to speak for itself, due to the fact that no measuring instrument catches up with the fluctuation of light fields. Using the theory of coherence, we…
A shortcoming in the authors' interpretation of this beautiful new experiment is pointed out and briefly discussed.
In an article "Missing Transverse-Doppler Effect in Time-Dilation Experiments with High-Speed Ions" by S. Devasia [arXiv:1003.2970v1], our recent Doppler shift experiments on fast ion beams are reanalyzed. Contrary to our analysis, Devasia…
Recently, Almheiri, Marolf, Polchinski and Sully (AMPS) have suggested a Gedankenexperiment to test black hole complementarity. They claim that the postulates of black hole complementarity are mutually inconsistent and choose to give up the…
This note provides a new approach to a result of Foregger and related earlier results by Keilson and Eberlein. Using quite different techniques, we prove a more general result from which the others follow easily. Finally, we argue that the…
This comment directs attention to some fails of the Alhaidari approach to solve relativistic problems. It is shown that his gauge considerations are way off the mark and that the class of exactly solvable relativistic problems is not so…
The simultaneous verification of wave and particle property in some recently suggested experiments has been reviewed in the light of Hilbert space formalism. In this respect, the recent analysis of biprism experiment [J. L. Cereceda, Am. J.…
In quantum physics, the notion of contextuality has a variety of interpretations which are typically associated with the names of their inventors, say Bohr, Bell, Kochen and Specker, and recently Dzhafarov. In fact, Bohr was the first who…
We assess the analysis made by Bohr in 1935 of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen paradox/theorem. We explicitly describe Bohr's gedanken experiment involving a double-slit moving diaphragm interacting with two independent particles and show that…
This is an appendix to our paper "An update of the Hirsch Conjecture" (arXiv:0907.1186), containing proofs of some of the results and comments that were omitted in it.
The system $\mathsf{Clo}$ is a cyclic, cut-free proof system for the modal $\mu$-calculus. It was introduced by Afshari & Leigh as an intermediate system in their intent to show the completeness of Kozen's axiomatisation for the modal…
We prove two theorems on cohomologically complete complexes. These theorems are inspired by, and yield an alternative proof of, a recent theorem of P. Schenzel on complete modules.
In this note we correct two errors in our paper "On the Homology of Completion and Torsion", arXiv:1010.4386, that appeared in Algebras and Representation Theory (2014).
