Of course not. According to the Schrödinger-Newton-Equation, even the cat is big enough to cause a collapse. Together with the Bohmian Mechanics and t...

However, splitting into different possibilities again involves the definition of measurement, which is precisely what is to be avoided in the MWI. If ...

What exactly is a "quantum fork"?

One can discuss the question of free will for many miles. All unnecessary, because the question is wrongly posed. My will is free from what? That woul...

Strange that it should be unsolved. The solution is the impossibility of practical execution. How could the prisoner prove that he is not surprised? H...

Of course, no one can answer that these days. But maybe a picture will help. Consciousness is like superconductivity, it is there or not. If something...

If you have toothache, what good is the idea that it is an illusion?

At first glance, this is correct. But the difference between an explosion and an expansion of space is the presence of inertial forces. With an explos...

Yes. The Bohm-Schrödinger-Newton interpretation does not need the general relativity. The particles move according to Bohm, entangle with the measurin...

"Latest" I wrote. But the truth is a combination of Bohmian Mechanics and the Schrödinger–Newton equation causing the collaps. It depends in the mass ...

The line is my consciousness at the latest, because I experience only one world.

And what about the many neutrinos that are flowing through the earth, and what about the virtual particles?

Matter is an antenna for electromagnetic waves via displacement of charge distribution (Van der Waals) and partially absorbs the EM waves. With gravit...

That is childish. An interaction always exists: The Van der Waals forces from the laboratory, the natural radioactivity and the gravity of the earth.

Oh sorry. I actually thought "many worlds" had something to do with many worlds. And in every book about MWI it says that they divide at a measurement...

What does not follow from what?

It's even worse. The MWI supporters claim the world divides when the states are decohered. But decoherence is an exponentially decreasing process that...

This may be true if the probability is 0.5 vs 0.5. What if we wait shorter for the radioactive element to decay and the ratio is 0.58 (living cat) vs ...

I cannot see myself as a quantum object. What determines in which of the many worlds I am? It makes a difference to me whether I win the jackpot or on...

I don't understand a word, can't it be more detailed?

Why are we classic? Isn't that a contradiction to MWI, where everything is quantum mechanical?

That is the only sentence to be said on this subject. The feeling of having wanted something is the only criterion. It does not depend on det or indet...

Qualia, for example, is not a pure epiphenomenon, but a mixture. You cannot explain the color "yellow" to a color blind person, but you can say that i...

That makes no sense to me. I don't feel the feelings of some Chinese in far away China and if I don't meet him he is as present for me as life on a di...

Whereby the question arises, why you still accept other consciousnesses than the own one and these should also have a boss (God).

Actually, I wanted to present a world view without a God. Why do so many people need an almighty boss? Aren't the paradoxes of an omnipotent God enoug...

Take That!

You picked one out of three points and answered it with a counter question. You don't have to answer the counter question to realize that it is nonsen...

1) They have different locations. 2) They change on a molecular level within seconds. 3) Can you imagine having two bodies?

I cannot answer what makes me me, but I am sure that it is not possible to fall asleep and wake up in two bodies. If you would have two bodies being a...

Of course this is wrong. If the 3D printing process created two persons, both believing being original, which one would you be after awaking?

That is certainly correct, only it is of little use to me to only imagine my food, I will still remain hungry. Sure, the world could exist only in my ...

Somewhere the quantity of the qualia must come from. Either it is hidden in a soul or in the matter. If one assumes, it is in the matter and in additi...

Free will is a feeling, nothing more. It can be predetermined or coincidence. Actions cannot come from free will. Free will is not a force.

Exactly right. Det or indet do not play a role in the question about the freedom of will. In general, everything mentioned does not play a role, becau...

Well, the Teletransportation Paradox is solved with the "crazy idea". You are the one with YOUR particle in your body. If you are beamed it depends wh...

It is logical that I do not only choose work based on wages, because it is an exchange of labor for money. If I'm supposed to wipe out acid tanks for ...

A value is a quantity. When I order things, it is an order. On the question "enemy or family" I will probably prefer family most of the time. :) And t...

What you are saying about the comparison is of course correct. But a "value" suggests something that can be expressed in dollars. Sure, I can say that...

OK, let's better take an example with rats. If we don't kill them, they will eventually attack our children. Who would say that the life of a rat is w...

Then it would be unethical to save a C-patient, because you would be killing a large number of C-viruses.

The point is: Is qualia possible in a deterministic world or not?

You are right in the sense that to date there is no chatbot that passes a Turing test. Just ask a chatbot what it thinks about climate change and it w...

That is the right question. And the answer is: We can't know, because we don't have a bridge from the third-person perspective to the first-person per...

I do not understand the connection between additive wavelengths and the subjective impression of the smell of roses.

Why does entanglement generate qualia? This also exists in a laboratory and in a much purer form. And every high-voltage line generates more electric ...

Suppose we lived in a world where atomic stability came not from quantum mechanics but from some other (deterministic) mechanics. If there were human-...

Could you please explain in a few words why the word "naturalism" is needed when it actually just means "atheism"? And how does naturalism bridge the ...

I have already written it in another thread: I think the answer is the Schrödinger-Newton-Equation. "The regime where the mass is around 10^10 atomic ...

I don't have a link. It's the way I think of it. I assume knowledge of Bohmiam Mechanics and quantum potential, I can't explain that too. Take two par...
