Hi,

I'm just an amateur enthusiast of anything quantum mechanics/ multiverse/ reality based.

I was pondering on something this morning that all the pop. science books tell you about the Copenhagen interpretation - that it can't explain its own phenomenon - but I was considering the process of decoherence and to my mind it appeared to explain things and I just wanted to find out the opinion of experts with a quick question that I will post in the quantum mechanics section of the site.

Thx

Arfur.

Thread 'Just a physics enthusiast'

Hi everyone, I'm just a physics enthusiast. I took some first-year courses a long time ago, but I wasn't able to continue, so I don't have a degree. Still, I'm really passionate about the subject and try to keep up with it as much as I can. I mostly study in my (limited) free time, going through books I didn’t get the chance to read when I was younger. Thanks for your attention!
