Yes, and I'm aware of this as I've already looked it, although their view of determinism isn't so cut and dry, and leaves much to be desired. They used weak measurements to come to this conclusion which are questionable at best...

Thanks I picked up on that as well, however it's irritating to me that the author's didn't just come out and state if it's a realist interpretation or indeterminate. Although it does seem as though retro-causality would imply in-determinism.

Within Two-state vector formalism is the universe probabilistic or determined? I have read into this interpretation, but I cannot figure out which. Thanks guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-state_vector_formalism http://www.tau.ac.il/~yakir/yahp/yh165.pdf...

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. :wink:

No worries, direct is the way to communicate. :smile: I am aware of that and had meant to say in MWI there is no wave function *collapse*. I'm surprised you hadn't realized this is what I meant.

Yes and they're primarily MWI and Bohmian, the only others are time symmetric which could certainly be argued to be retro casual and as such, indeterminate or at the very least agnostic. As for many-minds, I consider that interpretation to bad pseudoscience(yes, I think there's good and bad...

Based on my research being an autodidact by choice, I have come to the same conclusion. So I am inclined to agree with you, but I would also like to add to your response that this is also due to the indeterminate behavior exhibited by the probability amplitude in quantum physics. I was trying...

No explanation as to why you feel that way? I agree with you, and will do. Thanks again for the interesting discourse.

I could see your point up until you said this; I believe this statement to be a complete non sequitur. This is the same thing as me turning it on it's head and simply declaring that because we cannot be sure of the outcomes of future measurements, and can only determine the probability before...

What is your personally preferred interpretation of quantum mechanics? Do you feel as though the Universe is deterministic or indeterminate? Edit: Also I wanted to reiterate that by "universe" I had meant the MWI meaning of the word "world". In essence I was making the observation that MWI...

Could you elaborate a bit more on this? This assumes the MWI is correct, and let me redefine what I had said and substitute "our universe" with "our world". That's a subjective statement in my humble opinion, and I feel as though what I wrote above holds up. However I can see why you would...

Yes I am aware of this, all possibities occur in a branching multiverse. Do you know objectively where every subatomic particle within a superposition will be located within our Universe before measurement? Do you know where it will end up, and what we will observe in our Universe, before...

So you can predict with 100% certainty the outcome of every wave function collapse? If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and looks like a duck...:wink:

I was under the impression that there was only a finite number of configurations within a finite/bounded space? Hence the Poincare recurrence theorem.

So I guess "Transfinite" a concept proposed by Georg Cantor would by definition fit this perfectly.
