Multiplied by more than two to the power of each quantum event of a certain type, if the Everret interpretation of quantum mechanics is true.
- kubanczyk 6y agoThese other universes weren't observed by our one and who knows what happened there. Including them would be cheating.
- cma 6y agoIf the interpretation is correct, there can indeed be limited interactions between them, or else quantum computing couldn't speed up certain algorithms, so they can indeed have already been observed, but we can't prove it wasn't just through something explained by another interpretation.
- kubanczyk 6y agoI didn't say they couldn't be observed, I said they weren't observed, to the best of my knowledge. I didn't say I can prove anything about reality, because I decidedly cannot; I simply don't know the axioms.
