Exactly. Given a world (in Sabine's MWI above) W where there is a computer C with a quantum random number generator, after C generates a string of 1000 0s and 1s, the energy of the computer C-[one thousand (0|1)s] in each leaf world of the resulting branching tree will be 1/(2^1000)th of energy of C. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
