It makes sense from the perspective of the one doing the experiment. He lost track of the “other worlds” because QM prevent the branch of the wave to interact (but not to interfere statistically). Eventually the indexical “this” will ahem to be define using the machine’s theory of self-reference, where the formula B(Bp->p)->Bp constraints the accessible computations to obey some quantum logic, as confirmed by nature. The word “world” should not be taken too much seriously, as it is misleading when we do metaphysics, theology or theories of everything… Bruno > > Quentin > > Le mer. 6 janv. 2021 à 13:55, Alan Grayson <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> a écrit : > > > On Wednesday, January 6, 2021 at 5:35:44 AM UTC-7 [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Jan 6, 2021 at 6:42 AM Alan Grayson <[email protected] <>> wrote: > > > There are things called laboratories, where physicists conduct experiments, > > some of which are quantum experiments with probabilistic outcomes. > > If Many Worlds is correct then there are an astronomically large number, and > possibly an infinitely large number, of worlds where physicists conduct > experiments, some of which are quantum experiments with probabilistic > outcomes. > > The world in which such things exist, I call THIS world. > > So there are an astronomically large number and possibly an infinitely large > number of "THIS" worlds. > > > Worlds postulated to exist based on the claim that any possible > > measurement, must be a realized measurement in another world, I call OTHER > > worlds. > > Alan Grayson decides that tomorrow Alan Grayson will conduct an experiment to > determine if an electron goes left or right.
