Ogg: Re: R: Re: Non-locality and MWI
Is there any practical technical use for MWI as applied science.
Just asking?
Dunno. Quantum computers?
Maybe there is a Many Interpretations Conjecture :-)
Interpretations of quantum mechanics, unlike Gods, are not jealous,
and thus it is safe to
believe in more than one at the same time.
Well, only because we tolerate non-sense in religion. I am not sure we
can do that for a long time.
So if the many-worlds interpretation makes it
easier to think about the research you're doing in April, and the
Copenhagen
interpretation makes it easier to think about the research you're
doing in June, the
Copenhagen interpretation is not going to smite you for praying to
the many-worlds
interpretation. At least I hope it won't, because otherwise I'm in
big trouble.

Same with religion. We need only to have, relatively to the facts,
consistent views, with ourselves, and eventually with each others.
I believe in every interpretation of quantum mechanics to the extent
it points out
the problem, and disbelieve in every interpretation to the extent it
claims to have solved it.
Good! I believe the same for the religions.
