    Undergrad David Deutsch (1985) attempt to solve the incoherence problem

    Can anyone elaborate on Deutsch's attempt to solve the incoherence problem? He postulates a continuously infinite set of universes, together with a preferred measure on that set. And so when a measurement occurs, the proportion of universes in the original branch that end up on a given branch...

    Undergrad Energy in Everett's Many-worlds Interpretation

    Hi Thanks so much for getting back to me. Ok, so one might naively conclude that the energy in a superposition might somehow sum to the energy of its constituents but I guess the "energy" of a state that is not an energy eigenstate is not *defined* and we can only consider energy in a state once...

    Hi, Is anybody able to explain how energy is "distributed" in the many-worlds interpretation. I'm using scare quotes as I think this may be the wrong line of thought. It's tempting to imagine energy being distributed amongst subsequent branches as the wave function evolves but I'm not certain...
