Where are negative probabilities?

See Ch. 3 for negative probabilities & Ch. 4 for p-adic probability. - Alex Bilzerian

This approach induces the rigorous mathematical theory of negative probabilities. https://t.co/oGzw2ZKBVV

RT @EGHaug: but with background from strings should u not know about extended probability theories, things discussed in physics and even finance magazines etc 20+ years ago "Khrennikov: It would be natural to compare the Kolmogorov model with the p--adic measure-theoretical model. The main purely mathematical difference is that the only p--adic valued sigma-additive measures defined on sigma-fields are discrete measures. Thus the condition of
sigma-additivity is not so fruitful in
the p--adic case."

RT @alexbilz: The only difference between a probabilistic classical world & the equations of the quantum world is that somehow or other it appears as if the probabilities would have to go negative, & that we do not know, as far as I know, how to simulate.

Espen’s spot on—@Kaju_Nut if you’re struggling, maybe physics isn’t your game.

Negative probabilities are well defined on the mathematical level of rigorousness. https://t.co/2adnhIzqVZ

RT @nntaleb: Another fraud, @Kaju_Nut.
Academics and X* don't go well together.

* Formerly Twitter

Among other problems, our Twitter discourse suffers from completely uncharitable readings of people we hate. This physicist is gatekeeping, saying Taleb is wrong for claiming they use negative probabilities in his field. OBVIOUSLY Taleb has this type of thing in mind. https://t.co/Rs2uItg0wd - Robert P.
