I'm not sure what you mean by this. The interference pattern is a consequence of the wave function of a single photon. The double slit...

Interestingly, this paper claims that its conclusions are independent of any interpretation--in other words, Zurek is claiming to derive...

The basic idea of string theory is that everything is emergent from the underlying string dynamics, including not just gravity but all...

I guess we'll find out, when we see whether these new changes affect traffic, and if so how.

But on this view, what Carroll is doing in the paper we've been discussing is obviously wrong, since he's claiming that, once...

That seems to be basically what Carroll is doing in the paper under discussion. And, as I've already pointed out, since it's equivalent...

You can start here to look for references: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_embedding_theorems Also look at the Whitney embedding...

I don't use Chrome, I use Firefox. :wink: I believe there are Firefox extensions that allow you to do this, but I haven't looked into...

:biggrin: Can you give any references?

Understood, no pressure. That said, I have some experience with PHP and CSS, and decoupling styling (fonts/colors/etc.) from page...

But the "probabilities" here don't even make sense--at least, that's the problem that all this is supposed to solve, but Carroll et al...

Which is assuming the Born Rule--so as an argument for deriving the Born Rule, it's just arguing in a circle. (I think this general...

I don't necessarily mean multiple mode versions, just more than two modes. Is two modes hard-coded somewhere, or could there be more...

I don't think he's making that mistake. What he is calling "multiplicity" is the number of worlds in which the relative frequency of the...

MWI proponents, as I understand it, say that the worlds are physically real--as a consequence of the more gerneral claim that the wave...
