Isn't a core idea of SR "relativity of simultaneity", i.e. simultaneity of events is entirely dependent on the reference frame of the observer?

By my understanding, in PWT the pilot wave controls the velocity of the particle. And that velocity depends not only on the position of the particle, ...

Is there a way to block somebody in this forum?

I tried to help you. You think you know alot more than you actually do know.

You're mixing up "medium" with the QM wavefunction. That's a linguistic mistake, which is understandable because the word "wave" is in there. You also...

idk, by my understanding decoherence would render interaction between specific separate branches highly improbable. But because there are SO MANY sepa...

Please excuse my ignorance. I have done searches for "transtemporal symmetry" and didn't find anything, other than items written by you, in this threa...

I'm just giving a classical-world example of how a "branch" consisting of an event which did not occur in my "branch" (me blowing out the candle) coul...

Are you saying that by randomly changing the detector settings of one detector the other detector's multi-electron wave function is likewise changed t...

"This confirms what I said earlier about the non-independence of detectors in Aspect-type experiments. The detector wave functions are related and con...

For Everett "real" meant "something that could affect the results of an experiment"; and, Everett was pretty clear that these different branches do in...

"In MWI, the branches can interact. But the likelihood of this interaction is negligible. (By the way, this is another really weird feature of MWI...)...

I think it's important too to differentiate between Everett's Interpretation and MWI, as first put forth by DeWitt. Everett's definition of "real" was...

I meant boundless.

I meant to tag you too in my question but couldn't find a way to do it. I'm still learning the idiosyncrasies of the site.

So, if the universal wave function is real, and continues evolving unitarily, probabilities would need to be somehow preserved. They would be reflecte...

How does MWI handle probabilities in its branching of worlds? For instance if there are two possibilities (+ or -) and each has a probability of 50%, ...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test_experiments These experiments, with the underlying theory, show that "local realism" is not possible. "Local...

What if one finds something "supernatural" and then manages to find ways to predict its actions? Wouldn't it then become "natural" or "physical"? So I...

I had in mind the Bell Inequality theorems and experiments which imply that a "realist" "causal" world cannot be supported. By "realist" I mean the be...

So Wigner's friend measured a definite value while Wigner measured a value in superposition? I am trying to decide if it is worthwhile to read this pa...
