Right... but you shouldn't ignore something that posits fewer entities than your theory yet has the same explanatory power. And you also shouldn't posit something for reason X and then posit something else that undercuts reason X, because

I haven't read this guy's work but this interview makes it sound pretty ridiculous. First, he just ignores the bohmian and GRW interpretations of QM that are very popular right now. Next, he seems to ignore interpretations like many-mind

Of philosophers, David Z. Albert and Ted Sider have written popular books that explain difficult problems in a pretty clear and funny way.

>Every state in [0,0.5] was turned into a state in [-0.5, 0] and similarly (0.5,1] -> [0.5,1]. I hadn't heard this version, but it doesn't make sense to me. So these microscopic worlds each change when a quantum event occurs? If t

On MW, there are an infinite number of worlds at time t if an infinite number of quantum outcomes has occurred by time t. Anyway, it sounds like you're thinking this: There are an infinite number of worlds. A quantum event happens in many

If something is probable, you have to ask what makes it probable. We measure quantum probabilities by the number of times a given experiment yields a given outcome. Say there's an observable and when you measure it, outcome Lefty happens
285.
by lg 18y ago
right, but Righty is conscious of being Righty, and if his outcome was highly unlikely, then he must be wondering why his world is so unreasonable. And since he's just as much you as Lefty is, post-event, it's not true that you're only c

I believe that on Everett's approach, when you measure some observable with two possible outcomes, the total number of worlds increases, like a bacterium dividing. But on the version you're suggesting, it sounds like we constantly hop from
287.
by lg 18y ago
The problem with many-worlds is that there aren't more timelines for probable events. If every outcome occurs in some world, then for some event with two possible outcomes, there ends up being two of you; say, Lefty and Righty, one in each

Well, I mentioned many-minds because a couple guys actually do take it seriously, even though most don't. But I think this entry is a little off when they say that many-minds "extends" many-worlds. On the many-minds theory, there's only on

This bothers me because it pretends that it's railing against an unenlightened status quo, and it isn't. Philosophers of physics considered, and largely rejected, the many-worlds interpretation because, if quantum events result in every pos
