[0390] Sandra Vs. The Many Worlds Interpretation Of Quantum Mechanics
└ posted on Monday, 2 July 2012, by Novil
- Larisa: The many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics states that for each outcome of a measurement, an entirely separate universe is created where the opposite event occurred.
- Larisa: The theory avoids the major weakness of the Copenhagen interpretation, which makes no further comment on the nature of a measurement despite its key role for the collapse of the wave function.
- Sandra: The ball was still out!
- Larisa: Not in this universe!
@ Fairportfan:
I meant to say “… uncertain about everything …”
Totally what I do when I lose.
I was shocked to find when I came to this alternate Universe that the second month of the year is spelt “February”. The first “r” doesn’t exist in my original continuity.
So far as I’ve been able to determine, that is the only major difference though.
All we need now is for Bioshock Infinite’s Elizabeth to decide she wants a volleyball, then this argument would be over where the ball is.
this made me think of a scene in a “star trek” novel: a weird alien, who looked like a crystal spider, was speaking to a room-full of Vulcans, about whether Vulcan should seceed from the Federation. when one Vulcan started talking about “objective reality” and how “nothing really exists”, she scuttled down the aisle and BIT HIM ON THE LEG! then she said something like, “you scream rather loudly for someone who doesn’t exist!”

@ germanvisitor:
No, it’s there when it touches something, otherwise nothing would exist for blind people.
