If that assumption is correct then the entirety of reality consists of a Universal Wave Function (UWF)**, it describes the position and momentum of every particle in existence at any Instant in time. If a human could observe things from the outside he wouldn't need to resort to probability, but of course that is impossible because the human is also part of the Universal Wave Function, and that's why humans need to talk about "worlds" and have to resort to probability. Another name for the UWF is "Multiverse". * *So everything is always correlated with everything else because it's all part of the UFW. However, not all correlations are equal. Sometimes, under very unusual circumstances and for a very short period of time, a small number of particles can become highly correlated with each other but have very little correlation with the rest of the universe; when this rare state of affairs occurs human beings say that the particles have "become quantum mechanically entangled". * *And everything I said in the above would still be true regardless of which one starting condition the Multiverse started out in, it would even remain true if the Multiverse had no initial condition at all because it was infinitely old. * *> while superdeterminism says their angle selections have a common source > and are correlated. * > *In any quantum experiment Superdeterminism and Many Worlds make identical predictions, the only difference is Many Worlds only needs one assumption to make correct predictions while Superdeterminism needs to make an infinite number of them. * *And you still haven't told me why you think Superdeterminism is a reasonable theory worthy of consideration but the Dinosaurs Never Existed Theory is not.
