Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".Neve said so, I'm just embracing the MWI and asking questions based on the answers received here on the thread. The post you quoted was... -
Roberto Pavani reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses" with
Agree.
But in the MWI, all branches correspond to actually occurring outcomes. In Bohmian mechanics, only one does. That's a big difference. -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".On the first point: agreed, the ontological claim is different. But epistemologically, the observer's situation is the same... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".Thank you. If there's no settled version, isn't the branching structure underdetermined? Thank you for the correction on Bohm. But the... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".Both have a non-local universal wavefunction that contains all outcome information before measurement. Bohm selects one outcome, MWI... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".So MWI has a non-local variable (the wavefunction) that contains all outcomes from the start. Isn't that structurally a non-local hidden... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".If the wavefunction is the reality and branching is not a physical process, then the branches were always there, nothing is ever... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".I'm not defending Copenhagen, I'm happy to analyze that too. But let's finish with MWI first: you said the branching is "not a physical... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".Thank you for the honesty. But if "the branching is not a physical process", in what sense are the branches real? -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".Thank you. Let me make it concrete: A and B each send a radio signal to C with their result. The entangled state can only interact... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".I'm not saying MWI complicates it, I'm asking a simple question within MWI: when do the worlds branch(decohere) for observer C? This... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".let me believe in MWI: I will add observer C who receives results from both A and B. In MWI, when exactly do the worlds branch for C... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".That's exactly my point, there is no global "instant," so different observers see the branching in different orders. Observer 1 sees... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".I'm not questioning what MWI is. My question is physical: if the branching occurs at different spacetime locations for Alice and Bob... -
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".Agreed, only 2 outcomes. But when did the branching occur? At preparation or at measurement? If at preparation, then the result was...
