Maybe multiple interpretations that cannot be distinguished by experimentation, while convenient for some in some cases, might indicate the need for a different and/or more complete theory.
But like your article, Fundamental Differences in Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics, in which you...
I do realize that, which is why I agree that current QM is incomplete and I prefer to say, "I don't know". But I am not responsible for further developments in physics.
While I agree Physics is not a religion, some of my conversations about physics feel like some of my conversations I've had...
Quantum tunneling, entanglement, quantum entanglement; whatever you want to call it, I need to see it myself, or read a reputable, peer reviewed paper detailing it's occurrence to believe it.
I would say it was "unfair" that while taking an undergrad level Quantum Physics class while obtaining...
In that regard, I have returned Sean Carroll's book to the library, and I have checked out and currently reading, Einstein's Unfinished Revolution The Search for What Lies Beyond the Quantum by Lee Smolin. His preface to the book seems more in line with what I am looking for; whether it...
Thank you for your thoughtful reply.
(1) An example of entanglement of large objects given in Sean Carroll's book was one in which a person runs into a brick wall, with subsequent entanglement, and branching of the wave describing the system into one of the many branches, one of which the human...
So, my understanding of Sean Carroll's version of MWI presented in his book Something Deeply Hidden is that it is very dependent upon entanglement, and then branching of the wave function. [Please correct me if I misunderstand.]
He seems to imply, in my opinion and from my recollection, that...
And this written on the blog "Nanoscale Views" on Saturday Dec 18, 2021, though I just stumbled on it now.
No, a tardigrade was not meaningfully entangled with a qubit

By Douglas Natelson
I expressed my skepticism of "proof of entanglement" by the authors of the article first in post # 5 (and also in #10).
However, I am open to being shown the error of my ways; which has not happened yet as far as I'm concerned.
But I am enjoying the conversation very much. Thank you. :biggrin:
Thank you for your reply.
I will look at the math again in the "pure states" section in the Wikipedia article again, and I do have the full article linked by @Motore above.
From that article, I am trying to fully understand this:
"In order to understand the entanglement with the tardigrade...
Hello, can anyone please tell me what proves that the tardigrade was in fact "quantum-entangled" while it was frozen?
I don't see how the state of the frozen tardigrade could not be described independently of the other components of the system. "Frozen" ("tun") and "Unfrozen" ("un-tun") seem to...
Thank you.
These questions were with regard to my trying to partially understand a version of MWI of QM in a book I've been reading.
My understanding in reading the book is that the author's version of MWI ("Everettian light") consists only of:
1. QM (the whole world aka System ) is...
Thanks. For question #2, I should have been a little more clear.
Does the Many Worlds Interpretation require adherence to the HUI?
[I don't think that is required, butI haven't seen the explicitly stated anywhere.]
