To this non-physics student it always seemed that too much of the theorizing in physics was too anthropomorphic - it’s true that guys on trains going at different speeds would see the movement of an object at different relative speeds, but there must be a way of determining a “true”, “absolute” speed independent of their observations, and that cat in the box - it should be either dead or alive regardless of whether the guy outside the box knows it is or not - and all the indeterminacy experienced in quantum physics - how much of it results from no more than inadequacies in being able to measure accurately at such minute dimensions - but then I watch a show like “Particle Fever” on PBS not long ago - about the search for and demonstration of the Higgs Boson, and the field -at least major elements of it - seems to take on a new vitality.....
Yes, but what about the quantum black hole? AFAIU, the concept has originated from relatively main stream thinking, and includes the idea, ( under the assumption of some relatively improbable assumptions, ) that these energies could produce a quantum black hole that could settle at the center of the earth, which it would end up consuming in a sudden fruition some millions of years hence. It’s an idea that haunts me.
