Just came across this presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEaecUuEqfc
It's a bit long, but I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts who is knowledgeable on QM. I don't follow the maths, but I kind of got the gist. What intrigued me was his interpretation of QM and I'm wondering if anyone can throw any more light on it. He makes a lot of jumps which are obviously clear in his mind but hard to follow. He says that MWI is supportable by the maths, but that he prefers a "zero universes" interpretation, according to which we are classical simulations in a quantum computer. I'm not sure I follow this. I mean, I can follow the idea of being a classical simulation in a quantum computer, but I can't see how this is different from MWI, except by the manoeuvre of declaring other universes to be unreal because they can never practically interact with 'our' branch. I guess what interested me was the possibility of a coherent alternative to MWI (because frankly MWI scares the willies out of me), but in spite of what he said, I couldn't see what it was... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
