چکیده
You are welcome to quote this document so long as you include a link to it. And please check that your copy is up to date. That way, the reader will have access to any corrections. Currently, the link, which is not expected to change, Some of Riley's statistics are ambiguously reported in his paper. Since the author has ignored all requests for clarification, I had to use my best guess to resolve the ambiguities. New evidence since the present paper was posted has caused me to change my best guess. This changes most of the probability estimates reported below. This new evidence together with revised probability estimates is reported in a reanalysis of Riley's paper in file www.math.umb.edu/∼sp/2ndlook.pdf. It is discussed and can be accessed from the January 14, 2015 entry of the " papers " page on my website www.math.umb.edu/∼ sp .

Comment on Phys . Rev . D 60 084017 “ Classical self - force ” by F . Rohrlich Stephen Parrott 2575
F. Rohrlich has recently published two papers, including the paper under review, advocating a particular delay-differential equation as an approximate equation of motion for classical charged particles, which he characterizes as providing a “fully acceptable classical electrodynamics”. This Comment notes some mathematical and physical problems with this equation. It points out that most of the ...
متن کاملComments by Stephen Parrott on “ Weak measurements just got stronger ”
I wasn’t able to follow all of the Popescu article in detail due to undefined symbols. I sent a message to the Internet newsgroup sci.physics.research quoting the part for which I couldn’t think of a sensible interpretation and asking if anyone could. As of this writing, no one has responded, but in the meantime, I thought of a way to define the symbols which would at least make sense. But unde...
متن کاملStephen Parrott of Collective Electrodynamics by Carver
“In this book Carver Mead offers a radically new approach to the standard problems of electromagnetic theory. Motivated by the belief that the goal of scientific research should be the simplification and unification of knowledge, he describes a new way of doing electrodynamics—collective electrodynamics—that does not rely on Maxwell’s equations, but rather uses the quantum nature of matter as i...
متن کاملComments of Stephen Parrott on “ A derivation of quantum theory from physical requirements ”
The most important of the following comments points out what I suspected might be an essential error in the proof of Theorem 2 of the commented paper of the title. A draft had been sent to the authors. After no substantive replies had been received, I posted it on my website, www.math.umb.edu/ sp. The circumstances are more fully described in Section 5. Since then, the authors have replied and ...
متن کاملEssay on Restoring the quantum state after a measurement by Stephen Parrott
It was selected as the subject of a “Viewpoint” article in the APS expository journal Physics [2]. The article is available online without a subsciption at physics.aps.org/articles/v1/34 . I will give some quotes from the article below, but the reader is urged to first read the original. The Katz, et al., article describes an experiment in which a measurement on a quantum state was “undone”, yi...
