Classical concepts apply in neither interpretation. The math is the same, all that changes is how you interpret collapse.

- Koshkin 8y agoTo be fair, collapse is an interpretation...
- red75prime 8y agoIsn't collapse what we observe? At least everything seems to behave like collapse is happening.
- goatlover 8y agoA collapse involves imagining that the wave-function is a physical thing which resolves to having the properties of a particle when measured as such. It might be real, but the problem is nobody knows what the physical mechanism for a collapse would be.
- blotter_paper 8y agoEverything also seems to behave like a split is happening. They are equally valid explanations, and neither has any supporting evidence that isn't shared by the other. We should probably assume the simpler explanation is more likely, but it's not even clear which explanation is simpler. :/
- red75prime 8y agoDoesn't a split require additional assumptions to get to the Born rule?
- goatlover 8y agoNothing is collapsing in MWI or Pilot Wave interpretations.
