    Undergrad On being the sole observer in MWI

    Aaaah yes I read that paper a while ago. Its an interesting take, Soltau does follow Many Minds, this contradicts with Deutsch and Wallace's interpretation of MWI. Wallace doesn't really think Many Minds caught on, and to be honest I agree with his reasoning . But it is definitely worth...

    Multi-solipsism? As in the Many Minds interpretation?

    Undergrad On being the sole observer in MWI

    Also the OP states Solipsistic Principal. I assume the author is implying a sort of I think therefore I am kind of thing? Where you must be the indivual experiencing that experience otherwise you wouldn't be Not that Many Worlds is solipsism? Thanks again

    Sorry for reviving an old thread I'm doing research for a bit of coursework! Looking at why people don't like MWI

    Undergrad On being the sole observer in MWI

    So does this imply that MWI is a solipsistic interpretation? Where only one observer exists at anyone time? I always thought MWI was very sure about there being other observers...

    Undergrad How Does Quantum Measurement Influence Reality Splitting in Many Worlds Theory?

    I think this is what I was trying to say when I said that the people who I interact with would be the same people as always. Though they just like me can be defined as copies. We under MWI would all feel as if we had only lived in one world. The consciousness I interact with therefore would be...

    So say I experienced getting the sausage answer for my pizza. I'd say that the people I know are people who share the sausage pizza, who experienced the same outcome to that quantum measurement. We share a branch

    Undergrad How Does Quantum Measurement Influence Reality Splitting in Many Worlds Theory?

    I think Sean Carrol, David Deutsch and David Wallace all argue for separate metaphysical branches. Ill find some context

    Undergrad How Does Quantum Measurement Influence Reality Splitting in Many Worlds Theory?

    I agree it's an assumption. It's also about how you personally define identity. I would say those in a different branch to me are no longer the people I know. As they no longer share a consistent history with me. Just as how the me in other branches is no longer me. I think in a way its...

    Undergrad How Does Quantum Measurement Influence Reality Splitting in Many Worlds Theory?

    Yeah, I agree with that. I just feel sorry for the dude who made that post. People aren't really being helpful with it. He goes on to ask whether his girlfriend is the same consciousness he's always know. No one outright just explains how it works. Many Worlds as put forward by Carrol and...

    https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/mwi-bugging-me.198571/ Has anyone read this thread. The original poster really obviously doesn't understand mwi... But almost everyone rather than clarifying what MWI says gives him really strange answers. Really feel bad for the guy I hope he got his head...

    Graduate Consistent Histories solipsism?

    Well yes, that's the thing with solipsism. You can always come up with an argument suggesting it. But nothing in science implies that it's the case. Therefore being a solipsist would be too be a matter of faith. One that seems considerably more unreasonable and just unnecessarily arrogant...

    Graduate Consistent Histories solipsism?

    Also would you say most consistent historians agree that CH does definitely not imply solipsism? Thanks!
