Life
Prabhachandra was a Digambara monk who flourished in 11th century CE.[1][2][3] He denied the possibility of any genuine intensity of action, whether good or bad, on the part of women.[1]
According to him, Kumarapala converted to Jainism and started worshipping Ajitanatha after conquering Ajmer.[4]

gollark: Another is superdeterminism, which is sort of kind of where the particles "know" what properties of them will be measured in advance.
gollark: One resolution is nonlocal hidden variables, i.e. the particles have some faster-than-light-speed backchannel to communicate things.
gollark: Bell's theorem rules out "local hidden-variables" interpretations of quantum physics, meaning that quantum mechanics cannot, assuming some assumptions, be doing this by storing some extra secret metadata with particles.
gollark: As you will know in time, quantum QM mechanics has "Bell's theorem". This describes some correlations between measurements of entangled particles which QM predicts correctly (based on empirical tests) and classical physics doesn't.
gollark: What? No. That would be stupid.
