Sarfatti has regressed. In article <Bz4yut.83L@well.sf.ca.us> sarfatti@well.sf.ca.us (Jack Sarfatti) writes: |OK boys and girls. I may have found an error in my "retraction proof" that |standard unitary reversible (forget dissipation) quantum mechanics does not |permit the quantum connection signal. Ugh. |Therefore, even though the "bare" inner product vanishes, i.e., | |<1e+|1o-> = 0 (5) | |We cannot logically conclude that the "dressed" inner product (i.e., matrix |element of operator S(&)e^-i&|1&><1&| sandwiched between these orthogonal |states) also vanishes. Call this operator S(&)e^-i&|1&><1&| of yours "U". If U is unitary, then <1e+|1o->=0 DOES logically imply that <1e+|U|1o->=0 also. Follow-up to alt.sci.physics.new-theories.
