Could physics ever be able to confirm that a certain interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct or is the matter entirely philosophical and thus doomed to the depths of subjectivity?
What do you mean by GHZ here? Something to do with GHZ 3-particle entangled states?Nugatory said:Today GHZ makes different predictions than standard QM
That sounds extremely interesting; could you please provide a link to the thread?ddd123 said:In another thread it was mentioned an extremely speculative way to experimentally test MWI, but I didn't understand what it involved.

secur said:... and Deutsch has published on how the MWI could be tested. He argues that in all likelihood the test could be performed within the next 100 years.
- looked that up too, it depends on technology that doesn't exist and may never. Also, if such tests are performed, CI'ers can still fit the results into their view. Admittedly if Quantum Computing, or "Conscious AGI", ever realized all its promises (or, lies, depending on your view), and it turned out 100% as Deutsch envisions, MWI would win. For now, however, his test is too hypothetical to change anyone's opinion (in my opinion).
Sorry - posting late and tired. GRW, of course, and I'e corrected the original post. Thanks.Demystifier said:What do you mean by GHZ here? Something to do with GHZ 3-particle entangled states?

Or did you mean GRW?

QM Interpretation Inquiry, or Quantum Mechanics Interpretation Inquiry, is a branch of physics that focuses on investigating and understanding the different interpretations and implications of quantum mechanics. It aims to explore the fundamental concepts and principles of quantum mechanics and how they can be interpreted in different ways.
There are several main interpretations of quantum mechanics, including the Copenhagen interpretation, the pilot-wave theory, the many-worlds interpretation, and the hidden variables theory. Each interpretation offers a different explanation of the behavior of particles at the quantum level.
The main differences between the interpretations of quantum mechanics lie in how they explain the concept of wave-particle duality, the role of measurement in quantum systems, and the existence of multiple universes. Each interpretation offers a unique perspective on these fundamental concepts.
The debate on quantum mechanics interpretations is ongoing and continues to be a topic of discussion and research among physicists. While some interpretations have gained more acceptance and support from the scientific community, there is still no consensus on which interpretation is the most accurate or valid.
The study of quantum mechanics interpretations is important because it helps us gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe and its building blocks. It also has implications for technology and the development of new technologies, such as quantum computing, which rely on our understanding of quantum mechanics.
