I didn't say you did. You asked where I saw the idea that MWI has a single universe with multiple worlds in it, and I replied with those quotes by a well known expert of MWI. That's what it was about, not about philosophy in general or what the title or other contents of that page are. So if...

The author of that page seems to be professor Lev Vaidman, a well known physicist with many publications about MWI. So does he speak rubbish about one of his areas of expertise just because the page is titled like that? Which IMHO isn't really an excuse for not having an explanation.

Sorry I should have been clearer on that. I didn't mean others on this forum but elsewhere. For example here's one along those lines: "The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics holds that there are many worlds which exist in parallel at the same space and time as our own." "The...

I'm sure I have in many, many ways, which is the very reason I'm trying to ask for understandable explanations according to some interpretation. However, in this case my understanding seems to match what you said. Problem is, some others are contradicting what you just said, for example by...

So the math tells that even for a single particle all possibilities happen in the corresponding physical reality. Based on that alone, I could expect to see the full interference pattern after just one particle, if I perform the actual experiment, but instead I see just a single point in a...

And that's exactly what I would like to know, what those different claims are according to the MWI. For example what actually happens in "physical reality" according to MWI when the double slit experiment is performed. Since there seems to be multiple many worlds interpretations or...

My understanding is that it's not about whether the math is real but whether there's some physical reality that exists and works according to that math. In this case whether there really is an actual physical world where one of my clones is currently writing something else and so on, not just...

I'm not looking for a "right" answer, but that interpretation part, especially for the MWI at the moment. I know that the math works, and is mostly shared between the interpretations, and that various experiments give results that are hard to understand. I also know that, at least at the...

In biology there are plenty of pretty clearly separate individuals, so it is a matter of choosing which are similar enough in some way to belong to the same species, even if the borders are vague. But with these worlds, I don't have an understanding what the "individuals" are. Things seem to be...

Boundaries between species are somewhat artificial and depend on definitions, but at least everyone agrees there are species with physical manifestations. I'm not quite sure if even that applies to these worlds. I have had the impression that MWI advocates have criticized Copenhagians for...

I'm currently trying and really struggling to understand that same thing. Problem is, it seems like the more I read, the less I understand. There's just so much conflicting and misleading information, and I thought that the basic double slit would be one of the easier cases... First of all...
