I think she believes in superdeterminism. Hence, IMO, not a reliable source. But I'll look at her paper anyway. AG On Saturday, December 26, 2020 at 6:48:07 AM UTC-7 cloud...@gmail.com wrote: > Saw this via https://twitter.com/skdh/status/1342435394038726660 > > Sabine Hossenfelder @skdh > *Got

Correction2 (for typos) on spin scenario: Suppose in THIS world an observer measures spin UP. Then, according to the MWI, in another NEWLY CREATED WORLD, the NEWLY CREATED OBSERVER measures spin DN. On the next measurement in THIS world, some spin in measured, say DN, and in ANOTHER CREATED

Fact is there's no need to bring in pretentious big brains from Australia to show that Born's rule makes no sense in the context of the MWI. For simplicity, consider a spin experiment where the observer measures spin UP in THIS world, and another world (or branch) is created where spin DN is
