>PRESENTATION:
“I embarked on research rather late in life, obtaining my PhD at
the age of 45. Since then I have published work on the joint measurement
problem, Bohmian mechanics, Contextuality, Probability, and SIC-POVMs.
I earn my living as a high school teacher. I am a senior visiting fellow
at Queen Mary, University of London.” |

In the first part of the talk I will argue that the Bayesian
point of view is correct in so far as a probability should be seen as
a logical construct, not a physically real entity. In particular, the
quantum state should be seen as a logical construct, not a physically
real entity.
In the second part of the talk I will criticize the position of most Bayesians,
that a probability represents a state of belief.
My tentative conclusion will be that a probability is neither a physical
entity out there in the world, nor a subjective entity inside one's head.
