I'm not sure what you mean by "contradict", but the majority of observers will get results that lie within one standard deviation of the expected value (ie mean) according to the distribution of Born probabilities. If this is what you mean by "contradict", then you are trivially correct, but uninteresting. If you mean the above statement is false according to the MWI, then I'd like to know why. It sure doesn't seem so to me. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders [email protected] http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
