    USB plugs exist in one of three states: the up state, the down state, and the super positioned state. Only when you look at the USB plug does its state collapse into one or the other which is why it never goes in until you look at it.

    “You have to remember that the whole idea of branching is just a human convenience” Glad he added this line in the end, this is exactly the point of all of it.

      vsauce has video about physical laws and their role in universe as explanations. Michael tells the same - laws are not the reasons of events in universe. They are just assuming the relationship in-between. He tells about nail in the desk and the shadow from it. Length of the shadow is determined by physical laws and depends on height of the nail. You could even calculate the height of the nail by knowing length of the shadow and position of light. This is the law. BUT length of the shadow isn't a _reason_ for height of nail. Nail's height isn't caused by length of its shadow. These values are tangled but not in cause-effect way. It's just our way to describe relationship in-between. Absolutely real and existing relations but NOT the reasons of things. You're talking exactly about the same. Our math is the way to find out relations and consequences, not the way to discover the reasons. And our theories are always just a models. Robert Anton Wilson tells us not to mess territory and its map :) Laws of physics are our map of reality. It's not a good idea to mess it with reality itself :) Maps are useful are reflects real things but they are just a models.

      I think you cannot. There are questions where we can only make educated guesses with mathematical predictions. It helps to get a better understanding of what we precieve, but it doesn't prove anything. The prof there gets pretty far with rational logical thinking. But when it comes to quantum physics we meet the limits of our perception (even enhanced with sensitive tools). We don't even fully understand how our own brains processes this input. But still Props well deserved.

    "You have to remember that the whole idea of branching, is just a human convenience." I think this statement is an important thing to communicate for people to even begin to understand concepts like this. We as humans have to use our limited experience of the universe to apply reason to stuff that is outside our area of comprehension. We can't comprehend scale without a frame of reference for example. You can say the sun is 93 million miles away, but if you don't scale that down to something small enough to understand (like the distance from Chicago to New York), you might as well make up a number because it's impossible to picture that. What we describe as "multiple worlds" with near infinite possibilities where everything we could have done has has happened, is really just us creating a frame of reference to understand it. It isn't the reality of how it works, it's just a way to comprehend it.

      Danny West - Given the trillions (at the very least) of copies of himself that branch off every second, the range of possibilities-for everyone, not just Carrol-is extreme!
      If Many Worlds is true (and I don’t think it is), I’d say there’s a 99.99999999% chance that there’s a Sean Carrol who ate his own mother, live on national television, but only had to serve one week in prison. He then went on to cure cancer, build an interstellar spaceship in his backyard out of popsicle sticks and dog feces, then became President of the USA, before finally eating his father on national television and then giving himself a Presidential pardon.
      Also, this version of Sean has three eyes (all different colors), and hair growing out of his tongue.
      And their are literally trillions of similar Seans “out there”.
      The end.
      Oh, and he’s married to Michael Jackson, who’s still alive (and an admitted child molester) in this (series of) branch(es).

      _EXTREMELY_ unlikely for any given branch, but not unlikely for 10^367 (or whatever) branches per second across the whole universe. It’s ultimately just every different arrangement of particles and atoms that is logically possible, doesn’t violate physics, and is consistent with the starting conditions.

      Everything humans can imagine is much broader than anything that is possible.
      For example, fire was required to discover iron, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a civilization in the Iron Age that hasn’t discovered fire.
      Likewise, Sean Carrol HAD to have been born in the 20th century, otherwise he wouldn’t have the same parents, wouldn’t look the same, wouldn’t have the same upbringing, etc, so you couldn’t call him Sean Carrol.
      Likewise, curing cancer may one day REQUIRE technologies that currently don’t exist, like iron absolutely needing fire. And because of this, it may be impossible for cancer to be fully cured before the 21st century unless a significant change in history occurred (one which would make the population of people very different).
      In this sense, it may be PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Sean Carrol to have cured cancer in ANY timeline, and thus no Sean Carrol exists.
      Just because you can’t immediately think of how something violates physics, doesn’t mean it doesn’t. And the more complex the system, the more likely it is.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if someday we find out that the universe is infinitely big or ever expanding in all dimensions, not just in distance or time. Maybe all we are is some sort of energy that simply exists, and everything that happens(including its existence) can be described as entropy. That way it makes sense how the Big Bang happened without anything “prior”, since we all are just waves of energy and it simply transcends states infinitely. So maybe everything is infinite in infinite ways that it could be infinite(like the multiverse theory). Then perhaps physics could be treated as math

You see, two air molecules never occur in the same position in space, in a similar way, it's impossible for us human beings or even any other particle made out of quantum particles in our universe to interact with the other versions of themselves cuz it'll break the reality. If we actually create a portal into a parallel world, it just shows that all the particles that are interacting in both versions exist in superposition while observing, which is not possible according to Schrodinger's equation.

Also, all died are to cross a bridge under it is a river called ‘memory-erasing water’ and once a person walks across this bridge he/she will immediately forget whatever did in the past life, good or bad, like shuffling a deck of cards.

If this is true then would I consider a versions of myself spliced into an infinite particles of what makes the universe separated from say another Earth with another being of me? I guess it comes down to what is entangled exactly? I mean I could be an Alligator a tree, or a bus split into a multitude of parts like minerals strewn about on this alternate Earth that has been shuffled though the ages with different people and in essence I am entirely another being or inanimate object. I think this is how people consider checking in to the psyche ward.

    The problem with using a cat in Schrodinger's experiment is that we say it's unknown whether the cat is alive or dead unless observed, so it's "both". But the cat is a live subject, so it has an inside perspective of being alive (or the process of dying). It might not know why we put it in there, but it's still observing its surroundings. A less sentient being might be a better example.

      Actually the reason for the experiment was to prove that things like this do not matter on our macro-scale. The cat being alive or not is irrelevant to us because we have no control of knowing. The cat is either alive or dead whether we observe or not. Us not knowing doesn't change reality itself, only our knowledge of it.
      It's the same with the still brought up double split experiment. The reason that the it changed from waves and particles is not because of our observation, but that we need light to observe. Our observation was and is irrelevant.
      Schrodinger's cat thought experiments set to prove the same thing. On our macro scale, it doesn't matter, we don't affect the universe's laws of physics and our knowing doesn't change reality.

      Even a single Planck time (10^−20 years) is described as only the shortest theoretically *measurable* time interval, not the smallest time increment. Which would mean that entanglement would instantiate at a much, much higher rate than humanly imaginable; if imagination only meant to attempt a perfect understanding surrounding every aspect of a variable rather than what is necessarily useful like relative positions in comparison to other objects of note, temperature, frequency etc. (sorry for that last tangent, just needed to clarify the semantics to myself.)

    To make it clear. Humans observing something does NOT collapse a wave function specifically. The "measurement" and "entanglement" aspects to quantum wave function collapse are the same.

    @markkogzhang1230 7 месяцев назад +3

    So far, I am convinced with the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. My only concern is that the idea that every quantum measurement creates multiple parallel realities prompts questions about how energy fits in this framework.
    In classical mechanics, the conservation of energy states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant over time, in that none is created or destroyed, only transformed and redistributed. If applied to the many-worlds interpretation, each multiversal branch, which is representative of a different outcome of a quantum measurement as a result of wave function collapse, would conserve energy within itself. In other words, the total energy across all branches remains constant.
    However, we have to take into account quantum fluctuations, where energy can briefly pop up in a tiny space due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. These fluctuations are inherent in the quantum nature of reality and can lead to temporary violations against energy conservation within certain constraints dictated by quantum mechanics.
    The way I see it, these temporary violations are observed only in one multiversal branch. With the realization of all possible outcomes of a quantum event into separate branches, each branch will have its own probability amplitude.
    From a statistical perspective, the overall energy distribution across the multiverse would follow probabilities dictated by quantum mechanics ensuring that while multiple scenarios are possible, they occur with appropriate probabilities that maintain energy balance overall, so the conservation principle is preserved.
    Nevertheless, we have to take into account decoherence, one that gravely affects the quantum system as factors like the observer, other particles, and radiation become entangled with it, leading to the apparent wavefunction collapse. Decoherence remains a significant challenge in quantum computing as it introduces errors and loss of quantum information after the collapse occurred.
    From a practical standpoint, the fundamental dilemma still remains: overall many-worlds-system complexity - the discussion of energy sufficiency in the many-worlds interpretation as understood within the framework of quantum reality is bound to intersect with broader debates about the nature of reality, the role of the observers, and the interpretation of quantum probabilities in various quantum interpretations.
    I guess, I'd have to study more of these in quantum field theory (QFT).

    @lezhilo772 4 года назад +268

    Here's the thing I'm still not comfortable with: I take it that the splitting of outcomes (decoherence) is described by the transition from a mathematical pure state(one wavefunction) to a mathematical mixed state(branched wavefunctions in terms of the states you get after doing a Schimdt decomposition of the density operator) under some kind of Lindblad type equation of motion. The many-worlds approach is interpreting the mathematical branching of the mixed state as an actual ensemble of realities.
    But there are other ways to interpret this branching. If we don't take the branches in the mixed state as branches in reality, but rather as a statistical ensemble, then decoherence doesn't have to support many-worlds. You can say that it supports that there are other things going on that we are not aware of. After all, we partial traced away the environment, the detector, our brains, our consciousness(whatever that is) when we wrote down a density operator evolving under a Lindblad type equation. In other words, instead of branching realities, the branching in decoherence can mean that we don't know which outcome it's going to be, just that which is more likely.
    So the thing that I'm not sure about is this: I can't see why many-worlds is favoured over a statistical ensemble interpretation. Statistical ensemble happens all the time in physics: you can derive PV=NkT by considering the statistical ensemble of all the particles in your room, but you don't talk about realities becoming branched when two partitioned gases reach thermal equilibria with God knows how many microstates. You instead say "microstates don't matter and this distribution, which is what most accessible microstates give and hence most likely, is what we see in experiments."
    We don't talk about many-worlds when we think about classical statistical mechanics, why talk about many-worlds when we think about decoherence, which leads you to something that can also be interpreted as a statistical ensemble?

    Instead of thinking of it as the universe continually splitting, the way I like to think of it as every possibility already existing. Basically like, the universe exists in a massive superposition of every possible combination of positions of every particle within it, and what we think of as moving through time is just our movement through that possibility space. The quantum wave function then being a description of adjacent points within that superposition, the nearer ones being closer to the center of the wave.

And if you “zoom in” all the way in, all you find is a single, with fixed two dimensional positions and some other properties like colour or brightness pixel, which tells you absolutely nothing about the whole system. It’s just a manifestation in order to make the simulation visually work.

      @usmanshahid2219 4 года назад +6

      People who taut simulation argument don't spend a ton of time questioning it. In an infinite universe is it likely that everything will happen that can happen? No. Then it is unlikely that simulation exists. The argument fundamentally is if things continue at the rate of improvement of digital simulation; then it is impossible that digital simulation cannot meet or exceed the reality we live in; and thus that we do not exist in base reality but rather a simulated one. However, that argument belies that there is the initial will or desire to create a simulation as vast and accurate as our own. Ergo the initial premise of my argument, if in an infinite universe is it likely that EVERYTHING (i.e. infinity possibilities) that can happen will happen. Mathematically; infinity can't be raised another infinity. Like I said, most people who tout the simulation argument don't think enough about it they regurgitate it.
