A single photon can be polarized in every direction, which implies by the Many Worlds Interpretation, at least a countably infinite number of outcomes, or possibly an uncountably infinite number of outcomes. But where is S's equation to support this conclusion? AG When I claimed the polarizer experiment shows that photons do NOT have a pre-existent polarization before measurement, you were surprised, as if that conclusion supports the MWI. But I don't see that implication, and I still deny the MWI. In fact, since S's equation is nowhere in sight, how can you support the MWI when, according to your many posts, it's what supports the claim that all possible outcomes must occur in some world? AG What I've shown is that there is a countably infinite, and possibly uncountable infinite, set of outcomes which cannot be implied by S's equation since it's missing in action in the polarizer experiment. In effect, I've falsified the claim of the MWI. Time has come to admit this reality. AG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
