Are you following Siddhant Das's experiment project?

From what I understand, Tim Maudlin thinks that it could show that ftl information transfer is possible

I understand very little of all this but AFAIK it's conditional on a specific version of pilot wave theory, so I would say 16% is still quite high

@Ppau hmm no I'm following that experiment but various theories can say it can or can't, so me being not smart enough to have a PHD in cool things like quantum physics has decided to do this for the wisdom of the wise. Also I will have have to take a look at that thanks, sounds intresting.

@Ppau Can you point me to Maudlin saying that? That's... Bizarre. I'm willing to hear Maudlin out, he's far smarter than I am. But off hand I just don't see how Bohmian ToF entails FTL information transfer without some Real Big Fuckery^TM going on behind the scenes that pretty much no Bohmian I know thinks is correct.

@Najawin

To be clear I'm not positive that what he's talking about is related to Das's experiment

He mentions it at 50'46" in this Mindcape interview:

A friend of mine who's really into Bohmian mechanics and often talks with Jean Bricmont thinks that he may have gotten out a bit over his skis in this case, but it doesn't seem totally nonsensical either

@Ppau Oh, yeah, I listened to this. Vaguely remember it. I'm with your friend.

How do you plan to resolve this?

@jgyou +1, how are people betting when nothing has been specified

@CharlieLidbury is there a way to refund? because if there wasnt I was planning on trying to even it out as much as i could so people could get the most back. If there was a refund for everyone that'd be great. Im just using this as a way to see other opinions.

@KnightMer yeah you can resolve N/A

@KnightMer Manifold also supports polls, which are a good way to find out people's opinions without them having to bet mana.

@Fion ah darn I should have done that, I have had no past experience with Manifold in the past, so that was my mistake.

Quantum Entanglement babyyy

@Najawin hmm interesting!

I'm curious about this market, I don't understand if you're someone with a genuine question or if you already know the answer and are just testing the public

@Seykran I have my own theories but I wanted to see want the majority of people think about this topic, and i saw that prediction markets are decently accurate and would be a good place to pose this question.

@KnightMer Cool!
