This is true. I appreciate your critique (which is what I did ask for) and I apologize for being needlessly argumentative. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm sure I'll have more questions/comments that I'd like for you to respond to in the future. Thanks, C

I caught that inconsistency of including the "many worlds" interpretation with the "observer created reality" interpretation also. If you're going to combine interpretations you should at least mention that you are doing so. I'm not trying to do that. I merely made a mention about observer...

Final thought: Excerpted from "Fabric of Reality" by David Deutsch [on dual slit experiment]: ... The key fact is that a real, tangible photon behaves differently according to what paths are open, elsewhere in the apparatus, for something to travel along and eventually intercept the...

BTW, I'm only acquiescing and giving up the fight to get you on board the many worlds bus because I'm insanely exhausted :smile: - I've been up for many moons, my friend :smile:

i know what you're saying. that's why i asked you about Deutsch though... it's been a while since I read him so i don't remember all the details but he proposed a plan to prove many world interpretation... all i remember is that it would take some powerful quantum computers... let me see if i...

ah, you took the words out of my mouth, however: i think the many worlds interpretation actually tries to get at an explanation of why this phenomena occurs, while the standard doesn't bother with explanations... and this is my beef both views "work" Have you ever read anything by...

So if you apply this to the many-worlds scenario, the difficulty doesn't just comes in when you actually make a measurement that pushes you (and the rest of the universe) into one universe or another, it also comes in BEFORE a measurement, because it means that these separate, orthorgonal...

At the same time, though, if you take this view,the person making the measurement would move into every possible "parallel universe" too, each "parallel" observer experiencing a different measurement - a "parallel" observer for every possible outcome of observation, as the observer...

This conversation is getting very interesting! I see your point and I see how people could have problems stomaching that conceptually, philosophically, etc. At the same time, though, if you take this view,the person making the measurement would move into every possible "parallel universe"...

Fred Alan Wolfe was in the film :smile: . Look, I thought most of it was crap too. Ramtha was funny, though, you must admit :smile: But I take the many worlds interpretation seriously. You're right, I should've mentioned that my view relies on the many worlds interpretation. I find this to be a...

Right, I meant 'photons'. Do you see it as being incorrect in any places? How would you define "collapsed wavefunction" as far as what it truly is, you know in like a "metaphysical" type of sense - beyond equations or anything like that. The books I've read that aim to target the layman on this...

Hi, I recenlty had a friend whose interested in QM email me an article: http://www.space.com/searchforlife/quantum_astronomy_041111.html , asking for more explanation. This is the explanation I sent in a sleep-deprived state of mind (in fact, I'm still in said mind state as I post this now :) )...
