The Ilusion of Branching and the MWI

2018-08-04 Thread agrayson2000
AFAIK, no one has ever observed a probability wave, from which I conclude the wave function has only epistemic content. So I have embraced the "shut up and calculate" interpretation of the wave function. I also see a connection between the True Believers of the MWI, and Trump sycophants; they

As long as the universe is not resolved into individual subsystems *(that is, no tensor decomposition of the WF)*, there is no measurement problem. IMO, highly doubtful, or minimally outside the domain of quantum theory where there is such a thing as measurements, and thus the dualism being
