چکیده
[David Mermin is director of the Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics at Cornell University. A solid-state theorist, he has recently come up with some quasithoughts about quasicrystals. He is known to PHYSICS TODAY readers as the person who made “boojum” an internationally accepted scientific term. With N.W.Ashcroft, he is about to start updating the world’s funniest solid-state physics text. He says he is bothered by Bell’s theorem, but may have rocks in his head anyway.]

The concept of " elements of reality " is analyzed within the framework of quantum theory. It is shown that elements of reality fail to fulfill the product rule. This is the core of recent proofs of the impossibility of a Lorentz-invariant interpretation of quantum mechanics. A generalization and extension of the concept of elements of reality is presented. Lorentz-invariance is restored by giv...

Not one of the multitude of its calculated predictions has ever been found wanting, even in the last measured decimal place—nor is there any reason to believe that this will change in the foreseeable future. All the same, it is a bizarre theory. Let us quote Feynman [1], one of the deepest scientist-think...

Model building is one of the most important characteristics of human beings. According to a classification, there are three kinds of models. The first type are omdels which are unique to every individual person and every body has his own models. Another kind of models are those which are general. Theories arise from this kind of models. The third kind are modols for model building and deals wit...
