It's a mathematical model that makes observable predictions. It's easily falsifiable: just show that its predictions are false.
Now, you could argue that there's no test to distinguish it from other interpretations of quantum mechanics, but that applies to them as well.
- guscost 11y agoWhich predictions of the MWI are observable? > It's a mathematical model that makes observable predictions. It sounds like you're talking about QM itself, not any interpretation.
- Moshe_Silnorin 11y agoQM, itself, predicts macroscopic decoherence. Many worlds is more a prediction of QM than an interpretation.
- guscost 11y agoGreat way to present it, but we're still talking about a prediction that can't be tested, even in theory.
- ThomPete 11y agoIt makes mathematical predictions perhaps but thats not enough as far as I understand to claim that you can make predictions in any normal sense of that word. And therefore the Parent I was originally responding to at least from my understanding is claiming something thats not telling the whole story.
