Video: Spooky Actions At A Distance?: Oppenheimer Lecture – David Mermin – and Rhetorical Homework Problem Solution
David Mermin is great presenter. Emailed him and tried to get him to grade my solution to the homework problem. He did not want to give away the answer and spoil future talks.

Use of Maximum Entropy to explain the form of Energy States of an Electron in a Potential Well
The base state of an electron in an infinite potential well has the most "space" for the electron state. Thus it has the maximum entropy. Take that same state and imagine pinching the electrons existence to nil in the middle of the trough. Now you have state-2. The electron now Read more…
