Rate of Convergence for Born Probabilities

2013-10-27 Thread Jason Resch
Frank Tipler published a paper which aims to show he can predict the rate
of convergence toward Born probabilities using the Bayesian probability
density and the assumption of many worlds:

http://arxiv.org/pdf/0809.4422.pdf

He says: As one watches the distribution (1) build
up, one is really watching the activity of other versions
of oneself in the Many-Worlds, just as seeing the Sun set
is really seeing the Earth rotate.

He says that but gives no reason to believe it.  He says he'll publish a proof 
elsewhere!?  What kind of paper is that?


Also, I don't see why the detector efficiency enters in C(M,e).

This must be one of those preannouncements I've heard about.
