Many worlds: decoherent or incoherent?
The Deutsch-Wallace-Everett programme is conceptually incoherent since its viability rests upon a notion of decoherence that conflicts with its own fundamental precepts in two respects. These problems are not alleviated by invoking the notion of emergent or robust structure, and are argued to be significant enough to cast doubt upon the viability of the entire neo-Everettian enterprise as it no...
متن کاملThe Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: Many Worlds or Many Words?
As cutting-edge experiments display ever more extreme forms of non-classical behavior, the prevailing view on the interpretation of quantum mechanics appears to be gradually changing. A (highly unscientific) poll taken at the 1997 UMBC quantum mechanics workshop gave the once alldominant Copenhagen interpretation less than half of the votes. The Many Worlds interpretation (MWI) scored second, c...
متن کاملAgainst Many-Worlds Interpretations
This is a critical review of the literature on many-worlds interpretations (MWI), with arguments drawn partly from earlier critiques by Bell and Stein. The essential postulates involved in various MWI are extracted, and their consistency with the evident physical world is examined. Arguments are presented against MWI proposed by Everett, Graham and DeWitt. The relevance of frequency operators t...
متن کاملMany Worlds? An Introduction
This problem of getting the interpretation proved to be rather more difficult than just working out the equation. Ask not if quantum mechanics is true, ask rather what the theory implies. What does realism about the quantum state imply? What follows then, when quantum theory is applied without restriction, if need be to the whole universe? This is the question that this book addresses. The answ...
متن کاملMany-Events Theory for Many-Worlds Interpretation
The probabilistic prediction of quantum theory is mystery. In this paper I solved the mystery by Many-Events Theory. In this theory an absolute value of a wave function is a radius of a new space. This suggests the unification between quantum theory and the theory of relativity.
