And having it confirmed by making predictions that previously were not made, and which turn out to be right.

By proposing a further explanation. Until this happens there is no explanation, just as a book does not exist until someone writes it.

Well said, as usual, Peter. One of my great joys in life, now that I am older, is engaging in thoughtful discussions. I am a Patrion...

In the MWI, that doesn't "impose probabilities"--it just means that "we experience" has to be interpreted very...um, carefully. In...

Not in the assumptions. However, when relating it to everyday experience, probabilities are imposed on us - we experience only a single...

Even this is interpretation dependent. In the MWI, for example, the unitary evolution of the state is completely deterministic, even...

Of course they don't. But they have the power to suggest insight about the world we inhabit, and, if we are lucky, ways to test that...

Interesting point. The trouble I have with semantic answers to deep questions is whether we have really made progress. These days...

How about Glaeson's theorem? It means the state is a vector space, which is the rock bottom of entanglement, and as an aside, why QM is...

If I understand what you're saying, that sounds like the complement of @Demystifier argument. We start with a macroscopic system that...

My arguments are not specific to a particular setting. In an ion trap, one can prepare a single ion in an excited state and wait until...

This is simply wrong. A probe of a pure, weakly radioactive, crystalline substance consists in the traditional models of a huge number...

I'm back in London, so I'll read your paper today. I'm not convinced that a coin is a good analogy for a quantum system, like a spin...

Hey all. Looks like my 15 year anniversary of joining PF happened yesterday (while my internet was down). Just wanted to say thanks to...

PS we could illustrate the point by borrowing Schrodinger's cat. After each run of the experiment, the cat is either alive or dead...
