Dear mwi-forum participants, the poll is closed, I've deleted my account, and there by any direct evidence of the poll, though everything I mentioned can be verified by the people mentioned, if you want to use this poll for wikipedia or other sources you're free to do that, I will vouch for that...

poll update, (sorry to copy the earlier message with changes, but I somehow couldn't edit it) I asked the following question to eminent physics , none of which I knew their ideas in advance: a: I subscribe to the MWI that contains many parallel universes that differentiate during every 'quantum...

Tegmark says all consistent mathematically correct universes exist to know if this has any meaning you can ask yourself the question: consistent with what? -with itself that really hasn't got any meaning at all, if it hasn't got any observation to verify it, when there are observations, then you...

Einstein has (in my eyes) a wonderful quote: I don't believe in math, As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality It doesn't in itself reject the mwi but I think it's a good medicine against some of the...

poll update, I asked the following question to eminent physics , none of which I knew their ideas in advance: a: I subscribe to the MWI that contains many parallel universes that differentiate during every 'quantum event' (meaning that there are many perhaps an infinite number of copies of...

ok, if you don't like the authority argument and think you have a genius mind that's above all that, (you're the Newton, and the rest is the church) than this message means nothing, that being said, I currently conduct a poll, I've mailed over 70 prominent physicists all having quantum mechanics...

ok sorry for being pushy, but I think it's a relevant question, though purely psychology since when you believe a theory, it's interesting how much it affects your life, and since we're human, it's interesting to know the human consequences of a theory

why don't you answer the question hurkyl? Maybe you don't explain why, maybe you do explain why, I'm curious

i'm posting it again

a serious question to people who believe in mwi, do you feel less sad when a beloved one dies in an unlikely quantum chance event, for then he will live on in many worlds, then in a death less chance related?

I do know that of the few prominent dutch scientists I have contacted (Ewine van Dishoeck, Vincent Icke, Leo Kouwenhoven and Gerard t Hooft), none of them subscribe to the MWI. (And I didn't knew that in advence). I also know that David Deutsch explicitly mailed to me he doesn't believe in the...

I just received a mail from Gerard 't Hooft, he says he thinks MWI is absolutely false: There is one World. QT gives us many-worlds, only because it's not capable of choosing one right world. Tough there is one world. He also says he would have expected another outcome of the David Raub poll...

your quote under your posts says it all

I agree with the last sentence completely (so your not arguing against me here). I've read quite a lot of Freud, and his arguments aren't that compelling either. And what I say is basically what Karl Popper says (I've just found this): I found that those of my friends who were admirers of...

Ken G, because of the faults in the post I posted this: I will quote it again for you, with some modifications (the post was a little bit unclear): when you have an explanation that explains everything if it would be true, it doesn't there by mean you have the right explanation. It just...
