Dittos!!! At least, mostly. What do you mean "we now know"? Any citations, pretty please? I gather that by "strict MWI" you mean without FAPP. I argue that since we regard QM-without-collapse as a workable theory, we have to introduce FAPP (more precisely, moral certainty regarding a given purpose) and consequently the Born Rule. In another thread I insist that we must swallow the pill of no-probability for single outcomes, and build a decision theory on that. (Yes, we can!) >From QM we obtain only the Born Rule for large enough samples. George K. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
