Many worlds interpretation Definition and 59 Threads

Please forgive me if I am hideously wrong in any of my points. I am not terribly well-versed in quantum physics. Alright. This all began when I was thinking of a somewhat speculative and arguably philosophical idea that probably wouldn't have much of a place on this forum. My train of...

Hi! I've seen videos depicting the ‘Many Worlds Interpretation’ of quantum physics which show T-Rex stomping through your living room because the K2 Event didn’t take place in that parallel universe, you know the hype you see on the MWI. While probably, no one ‘really’ thinks this is...

I am interested to see a clear enumeration of the postulates of this interpretation. There seem to be something fuzzy about how MWI describes what we call "reality". It might be a problem with the theory or, more probable, a misunderstanding of my part. Here is a list I found on Google...

Earlier today, I saw a show that had the smartest man in America with an IQ of 195 who is working on a Cognitive - Theoretic Model of the Universe. He attacks the MWI with: What do Many-Worlders think about a statement such as this coming from an intelligent person?

I recently learned about the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics from another post on this forum. Unfortunately, the post became more of an argument about whether some experiment had or hadn't proven this interpretation to be true, and there wasn't a whole lot of information on what...

I wasn't sure where to put this thread because it is about moral philosophy but depends on your understanding of quantum mechanics. I'll try to keep quantum mechanics out of it and just explain what results from the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of what's happening in quantum mechanics (QM)...

Special Relativity predicts that moving clocks run slow, mass and length are variable and simultaneity is relative. These are 'real' phenomena and leads me to think that the reality of one observer (the passing of time, all physical properties and space-time events) can be regarded as 'his...

I was learning about the "Many Worlds" interpretation of QM, and it got me to thinking. In some ways, doesn't it contradict the laws of thermodynamics? I came up with the following thought experiment: Suppose that you had a gas containing nitrogen and oxygen in a homogeneous mixture, in a...

After having researched on many different Websites the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, it seems to me as if there are two positions defended by physicists: Position 1: All the outcomes of a system actually happen in reality. That is, every time a choice is made all possible...
