Like.
I don't view it that way. Energy as a concept is quite well defined and precise within each physical theory. Indeed that definition... -

Haha.
Yes, it is not trivial. :wink: As in, yes, we have no bananas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes!_We_Have_No_Bananas -
Doc Al reacted to Nugatory's post in the thread Graduate Is photon frequency intrinsic or observer-dependent? with
Like.
That's similar to saying that two bullets moving relative to one another will have different kinetic energies in different frames... -
Doc Al reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Why does coordinate dependence violate homogeneity in spacetime intervals? with
Like.
By analogy, "homogeneity of time" would mean invariance under time translations. And "homogeneity of space and time", which is what... -

Basically nothing other than some dubious waffle about the simplest solution. No appeal to even Gleason, which is surprising. As I... -

As has already been said, this is a major open issue (many skeptics would say the major open issue) with the MWI. There is no known... -

Bear in mind that, if you find it hard to believe that the MWI actually says this because it seems so outlandish, you're not alone. I... -

Of course, I meant "microscopic particle such as electron". Thanks for noting the typo! The trace we see in the bubble chamber is an... -
