Interesting speculative physics… that makes claims that parallel

“A new theory, proposed by Howard Wiseman, Director of the Centre of
Quantum Dynamics at Griffith University, is different. No new

by-side, since the beginning of time. “
Well, to be sure, this is how Deutsch interprets Everett. Me too, even
for computationalism, where I sum up this by the Y = II rule. The
mutiplication (Y) in the future duplicate the past (Y becomes II).
Regarding the interference patterns detected by the single electron
double slit experiment (first performed in 1974 at University of
Bologna)
According to Wiseman and his team this interaction between parallel
worlds leads to just the type of interference patterns observed –
implying electrons are not waves after all. They have supported
their theory by running computer simulations of the two-slit
experiment using up to 41 interacting worlds. “It certainly captured
the essential features of peaks and troughs in the right places,”
says Wiseman.
?
Then it is equivalent to Deutsch view.
Anyway, the notion of world is not a primary term, so it is a bit a
1004 comp-fallacy to insists on bifurcation and splitting.
