I don't think you have properly elucidated what those differences are, other than in passing, maybe. How about concentrating on those differences in detail - if you can show that the many worlds of FPI are phenomenally different from the many worlds of quantum mechanics, then you are well on the way to showing a fundamental incompatibility between computationalism and quantum theory. Then presumably, we can perform an experiment to show which one is incorrect. Computationalism or QM. Worthy of a Nobel prize, I'd think. Somehow, I don't know that the task is going to be quite so easy... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Senior Research Fellow hpco...@hpcoders.com.au Economics, Kingston University http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
