That leaves only the problem of interpreting the probabilities, and Deutsch effectively suggests that the probabilities associated with the wave-function specify a conditional volume measure on a space containing an uncountable infinity of initially indiscernible universes.Gordon McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151162643523937086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37936507.post-90919205256649028122011-09-26T09:54:07.449+01:002011-09-26T09:54:07.449+01:00Thanks Alastair has some valid criticism, what is ...Thanks Alastair has some valid criticism, what is your thoughts on his thoughts ? :)Nadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078716473953496202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37936507.post-3885886661199303062011-09-24T18:02:07.864+01:002011-09-24T18:02:07.864+01:00I need to give that a considered opinion before I ...I need to give that a considered opinion before I reply Nada!<br /><br />In the meantime, <a href="http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/indepth/47021" rel="nofollow">Alastair Rae voices some objections</a> in <em>Physics World</em>.Gordon McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151162643523937086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37936507.post-38755999036655614532011-09-24T17:23:30.961+01:002011-09-24T17:23:30.961+01:00It was sort of a question for you Cabe :) Or is th...It was sort of a question for you Cabe :) Or is there none?Nadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078716473953496202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37936507.post-571588934335273232011-09-24T12:05:33.545+01:002011-09-24T12:05:33.545+01:00Is there any good objections to Deutsch's &quo...Is there any good objections to Deutsch's "fungible" worlds?Nadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078716473953496202noreply@blogger.com
