There is no verified interpretation of quantum mechanics.
What I mean is the verified result of the experiment contained in the video. I tend and try not to label things such as these interpretations mainly because I'm not a collectivist lol. Even though I just labeled myself, I try not to.
Quote:There's the conventional interpretation (Copenhagen) and there's the increasingly popular interpretation that more and more relevant experts are adhering to (Many Worlds).Probably because they're thinking in terms of cause and effect and are looking for a way out of the eternal recurrence problem and the "something from nothing" problem. Anyway, I'm not sure how this affects the results of the experiment in the video.

Quote:I have seen him on some shows, but nothing specifically by him.Quote:Many worlds is deterministic? I never gave it much thought because many worlds seems a giant waste of energy.Have you ever read or listened to Sean Carroll? If not, you should give him a try. He says it's quite the opposite. He argues that MWI is the simplest explanation of the quantum happenings.
How is MWI the simplest explanation? If it's simple, it should be easy to articulate
Here is Carroll's theory:
We suggest that spontaneous eternal inflation can provide a natural explanation for the thermodynamic arrow of time, and discuss the underlying assumptions and consequences of this view. In the absence of inflation, we argue that systems coupled to gravity usually evolve asymptotically to the vacuum, which is the only natural state in a thermodynamic sense. In the presence of a small positive vacuum energy and an appropriate inflaton field, the de Sitter vacuum is unstable to the spontaneous onset of inflation at a higher energy scale. Starting from de Sitter, inflation can increase the total entropy of the universe without bound, creating universes similar to ours in the process. An important consequence of this picture is that inflation occurs asymptotically both forwards and backwards in time, implying a universe that is (statistically) time-symmetric on ultra-large scales. https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0410270
I have a lot of trouble with infinity and eternity and it seems some people make a religion out of it.
Never get into an argument about infinity with a mathematician because it never ends
