Objectivity versus Completeness in Quantum Mechanics

The old Bohr–Einstein debate about the completeness of quantum mechanics (QM) was held on an ontological ground but can be transferred at a semantic level. Indeed every physical theory adopts, explicitly or not, a truth theory for its observative language, in terms of which the notions of semantic objectivity and semantic completeness can be introduced and inquired. In particular, standard QM a...

By study the objections concerning the objectivity in historical studies and historiography and contemporary version of science as the background of such objections makes clear that this version of induction and objectivity mingled with bigoty and exteoimism. As it is conceived no ...

Objectivity Data Migration

In this article we describe the migration of event data collected by the COMPASS and HARP experiments at CERN. Together these experiments have over 300TB of physics data stored in Objectivity/DB that had to be transferred to a new data management system by the end of Q1 2003 and Q2 2003 respectively. To achieve this, data needed to be processed with a rate close to 100MB/s, employing 14 tape dr...
