New Scientist: Parallel universes make quantum sense

2007-09-24 Thread Hal Finney
New Scientist has an article on parallel universes: David Deutsch at the University of Oxford and colleagues have shown that key equations of quantum mechanics arise from the mathematics of parallel universes. This work will go down as one of the most important developments in the history

, with enough (non-math) imagination, string does not. This is my way to look at it, I am not ready to defend it. Especially not on the turf of the opponent. Regards John Mikes On 9/24/07, Hal Finney [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: New Scientist has an article on parallel universes: David Deutsch

Here's my comment on David Wallace's 2005 paper, Quantum Probability from Subjective Likelihood: improving on Deutsch's proof of the probability rule available at http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/2302/. I think this is probably one of the main works referred to in the New Scientist

All, New Scientist has a very interesting article this week about free will, reality and entanglement. Worth a look. Additionally, for the trivia fans among you, it seems one of the researchers quoted has clocked similarity effects associated with entanglement at something like (minimum

From: rmiller New Scientist has a very interesting article [...] http://www.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0503007 Nicolas Gisin, 'How come the Correlations'. Note that what Gisin is saying (link above) was, more or less, already written by John Bell. It has been argued that quantum mechanics
