Roberto Pavani's latest activity

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...

The "trick" of replacing a branch by multiple copies in order to recover the Born rule seems reasonable at first sight. One might...

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 think he's making that mistake. What he is calling "multiplicity" is the number of worlds in which the relative frequency of the...

Yes, that's one of the reasons why trying to explain where the Born Rule comes from is a major open issue with the MWI. And please bear...

While in general this is a caveat that needs to be kept in mind, for the particular case under discussion here, spin measurements on...

From the replies so far, I still have not managed to understand whether MWI worlds are regarded as physically real entities or merely as...

A real observer only has access to the outcomes observed in their own branch and can estimate probabilities only from those frequencies...

Let ##K## denote the number of real ##(\text{observer},\text{counting history})## pairs after ##N## binary measurements. 1. If ##K =...

Suppose the underlying quantum event is strongly asymmetric, for example ##P(A)=0.9,\qquad P(B)=0.1##. There are still exactly...

In that paper, Carroll and Lodman explicitly state that observers do not observe the global wavefunction; they observe only the branch...

Thank you all for the references. In fact, my original curiosity came from the observation that, in Schwarzschild vacuum, ##...

While dimensional analysis is merely a guide, it obviously has to be followed up with seeing if it (obtained from a scalar formed from...

OK, perhaps I am starting to understand. If MWI is taken literally, then the truly fundamental objects are the universal wavefunction...
