Par for the course. A classical wave (think wet) is a large-scale pattern that emerges from the local interactions of many separate particles. A quantum ‘wave’ is some fundamental magical thing that just happens to look a lot like a large-scale pattern that emerges from the local interactions of many separate particles, but isn't (except in the Everett version).
- speakeron 8y ago> but isn't (except in the Everett version) Not even in the Everett version. When we make a measurement to discover the large-scale patterns, we have to invoke the Born Rule and see just one outcome of the quantum wave. The other worlds of the Everett Interpretation are simply 'magical'.
