The forum discussion centers on the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics, specifically regarding the implications of simultaneous events, such as everyone having coffee with everyone else. Participants clarify that MWI does not imply that all possibilities are continuously occurring, and free will is not factored into the equations of quantum mechanics. The conversation highlights the complexity of the Schrödinger equation and the philosophical implications of interpreting quantum mechanics, particularly in relation to the concept of infinite possibilities and limitations.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, philosophers of science, and anyone interested in the implications of quantum mechanics and the Many Worlds Interpretation.
Except the Bohr model of atom (with the so called "old QM"), which is clear but not true.vanhees71 said:Well, then Bohr definitely wrote only about true things.
Oh sure, butter me up with something I won't be able to follow. I'm holding out for comprehension.Demystifier said:What if I tell you that I have a theory that solves all these questions at once?
I tend to view physics as finite, in the sense that any experiment only has a finite number of outcomes. The mathematics and theoretical physics extrapolates this to countable and uncountable infinities. A classical example is modelling a body as a continuous mass distribution, even though the physics is a large, finite number of particles.Demystifier said:
