ABSTRACT
This talk is going to be an Ad Hominem against another fellow Russian scientist (though not the one mentioned in the title). Hence it is recommended for those who wish to see a fight! Time permitting I'll be talking about the following topics:
1. Nature is probably Local Realist (yes, you misunderstood Bell's theorem!)
2. Entanglement isn't much of an important phenomena; anything interesting in a bipartite system is already there in a single state (including non-local, non-signalling correlation and negative conditional entropy)!
3. Consistent Histories and Two State Vector Formalism are one and the same models, (which is essentially the same as the standard quantum mechanics, but giving a more clear picture, get over it)!
4. If the results of weak measurement are surprising you, you've probably skipped some important physics from back in 30's!
5. Any possible interesting thing I might think of, from now till Friday!
