Fine, t he instrument can be in 2 states, the photon activated state and the photon not activated state, and those 2 states are different, so the universe splits. Detection implies consciousness or at least knowledge, but all many worlds needs is a change, that's why in many worlds a brick wall would work as well as a photographic plate, the universe would still split at the slits and still merge back when the photons hit the brick wall and no longer existed in both universes. > In the case of destroying interference, the instrument is looking -- that is sending photons to each of the slits -- which destroys the interference. If that is the explanation then why does the interference come back if the which way information is erased *AFTER* the photon passed the slits but before is hit the photographic plate? >> > >>> >> >>> Before I can comment about Wheeler's delayed choice experiment, I need >>> to know how the information is erased. >>> >> >> >> >> Try reading. >> >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%27s_delayed_choice_experiment >> >> And try knowing something before writing about something. >> > > > > Replying to you isn't the only thing on my plate right now. > *So you've got time to write stuff but no time to learn what you're writing about. * *John K Clark* > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
