|content=We picked up this weird Quantum Fetish in the 1980s. | |||
[[Claims|CLAIM]]: Discoveries in Classical Field theory have been FAR more important historically for our deep understanding of the physical world than Quantum theory. As late as 1986, this wasn’t even that controversial of an observation. | |||
Further, the theory of Geometric Quantization can be interpreted as saying that classical Hamiltonian systems are roughly *Self Quantizing*. Which is huge and rectified a huge oversight. | |||
I am not sure why I am constantly supposed to ooh and aah about all things quantum (“It’s entangled!!!” “The cat is both dead AND alive!” “It goes through both slits!!”) while pretending that our classical field theory is just a low energy effective theory. | |||
This should be reversed in my opinion. Perhaps we aren’t making progress following the Quantum Fetishists with their Quantum Gravity that doesn’t work. | |||
[[Claims|HERETICAL CLAIM]]: Classical Theory is FAR more important than the failed Quantum Gravity crowd understands. We would be much further ahead if we stopped the quantum fetish. The world *IS* quantum. But it is *also+ likely classical in a way that is equally if not more profound. We should split the field into quantum supremacists and mixed Quantum / Classical people and see if the second group doesn’t outpace the fetishists within the first. | |||
