So Veritasium released a video defending Many Worlds as the best interpretation. I always thought this was the most laughable and absurd one, but apparently the leading academics are choosing this over Copenhagen now?
What are the implications of this? Does this make the universe (the universes?) deterministic then? Can different universes have different physical constants?

I'm a very confused right now. I thought Many Worlds was a joke.

The point of the multiple "interpretations" is that they each give the same testable predictions. Top physicists are aware of this and generally look at the different interpretations as a sort of stylistic preference, each with advantages and tradeoffs. The ones who push strongly for one are either highly opinionated autists of the Lubos variety, or quasi-prophet figures with an axe to grind like David Lewis, or just con men trying to get in the newspaper or on Joe Rogan or what-have-you.
>What are the implications of this?
None. Nothing that we know how to measure would be any different in any of the interpretations.

Yes if you mean the entire universe. Effectively no if you mean "your branch".

You are mistaking many worlds interpretation for the multiverse hypothesis.
>I thought Many Worlds was a joke
Probably because you don't actually know what MWI is, combined with only getting your information from science popuarizers and not actual physicists.

Fun fact: All valid interpretations of QM have equal rights and there is no "objective" way to choose the "best" one, at least not until scientists make some extemely fundamental particle physics breathrough that our current worldview leaves little room to. And all of the interpretations will fuck your intuition and inject weirdness into your worldview/philosophy it at least some way.

So, prefrence in interpretation is based on philosophy, fashion, intuition, and circumstances of education. There's nothing to fight over here.

>What are the implications of this?
The common view is that this makes no difference in terms of predictions, except maybe under bizarre thought experiments like "quantum suicide". However I've thought this might actually subtly change our predictions otherwise as well, when we take survivor bias into account. Let's say that you're surprised that we have been able to avoid nuclear war for as long as we have. You might sigh in relief and conclude that your intuition about the likelihood of nuclear war was probably just wrong. But then try to take MWI into account. Compared to how common branches where nuclear war hasn't happened are, you should be disproportionately more likely to have been born in one of them because they have larger populations than post-apocalyptic wastelands. But from this it doesn't follow that you are disproportionately more likely to keep finding yourself in a branch where nuclear war doesn't happen. So your relief and change of probability estimate for nuclear war to a more optimistic one was based on failing to take the survivor bias and MWI into account.

If you believe that the existence of a person is equal to the existence of information equivalent to information in that person's mind, MWI basically implies death doesn't exist.

I don't think I do, though. A perfect replica of me 10 light years away, 1000 years in the past, or in a quantum branch... isn't literally me. I think their survival does not invalidate MY death. Some would disagree though.

Take something uncontroversial, the cosmic horizon. My first theory is that things are pretty much like they are here far past the horizon. Physical constants might be different but things mostly look the same. Things that leave the horizon have this shocking thing happen to them: nothing! Particles just keep evolving according to the schrodinger equation.

My second theory is this: past the cosmic horizon there is an infinite volume of space densely packed with you sucking your dad's penis in a penrose tiling-like pattern.

No experiment we do can distinguish between the two theories. The first one seems more likely (no matter how much you wished the second was true).

How do you think about personal identity in a simple situation where you observed a photon going through the left slit? You think you are the same person as you were before the observation yet according to MWI there's another version of you who observed the photon going through the right slit that thinks the same. Do you think you are both right and you share a common past ancestor or is the other guy just deluded?

Well, you are a predicate in a constant experiential flow of postulate vs priority. Basically the intelligent mind is aware that it HAS to always return to a state of observer and/or audience member.

It is the round-trip that you, the reader/experiencer of your senses, ultimately perform differential equations on (do I like A, B, or wait for C?) in order to help trim/prune the future branches of what you want to see more of, what you want to see variations on, and what you wish to limit or avoid.

That your neurons fire to go 'this' memory and you are the hidden hand between those neurons going 'that arousal state' is simply biology at work, the quantum fuckery is essentially which unchanging faggot do you really want to remain/stay as.

For myself it is simply being Time, the concept/construct/abstraction and whatever else the people I interact with during the day demand me to be. That I use all the 4chan 'klolfagbai' and bait tactics that I've developed and harnessed into a functional language that can spin out normies with but a click of my fingers is just my way of honoring 4chan as an information/communication exchange hub.

We all have 'some' model of the world in our mind and share the 'changing room of perspective', it is just that is what we call void/space.

No. The laws are predetermined in a 'outside of the universe bubble' (This janky statement boils down to in simpler way that the laws are determined outside the universe before the bang). Hence the bang will happen only with the predetermined laws. You're confusing this for the multiverse theory that basically states that there are infinitely many predetermined universes each with different laws of physics.

You are the gap of narrative between what hasn't happened and the explanation you ascribe/subscribe to. Most intelligent minds are looking for the smoothing function to travel between nodes and to know the capacity of the node (to prevent overloading it).

Analogy:
A third year computing students is being done. All the scenarios they've never seen, also seldom observed in real-life - would require a processor of another order of magnitude.

That should not be too challenging, because they're being taught 3rd grade abstract thinking, not 10th grade matrix theory or some abstract level mathematical content. As an aside, think of the junior high students to be done with 3rd grade math.
~~~
You can use QM, God of Time, or whatever else you want, because ultimately your neurons are simply trying to make connections that foster smoother communication between logical steps. Being able to do it faster or with greater complexity than others is what establishes dominance.

This is exactly what MWI is. Both of you were one before the photon reached the slit. Only when the photon decided to have a 50-50 chance of going through either, you split and now you have 2 of you, one with the left slit, the other with the right slit.

On one hand, based and Discordian. On the other hand, clear communication causes good ideas to spread and bad ideas to die off. If you think your ideas are good - and substantial - please communicate clearly.
> Your idea of 'concise' and 'clear' though to me would be foreign because of WHAT you use your intellect/imagination for.
It's some basic phiosophy, some near-rationalism, some common sense. Nothing too fancy. Most ideas can be communicated in a concise way. It makes them more intuitive and more easily subject to analysis.

Then we need to share a definition here of what a 'bit' is. If we keep using our personalized/colloquial dictionary references and get butthurt over collisions of interpretations then, yeah, I submit to that truth.

Yes, a lot of people do engage in thinking an audience not worth their time. Doesn't matter what one does, that audience will always exist.

I'm not trying to spread my ideas. My culture is literally based on sharing when engaged. You engaged. I shared. The resulting differentiation we experience is what I enjoy going through so that what I am and those that engage me directly (see meme related) have a faster cohesion/integration period for the next participant and so on.

More that they have the synchronization cycle. Being 'present' and advertising availability (basically 'green light vs red light') is far more important than subscription or awareness. Sort of like the pitch experiment at some British University. Oxford or Cambridge, can't remember off the top of my head. All things are in a state of flow but for it to flow to recipients that can actually use it to its greatest effect (to allow for backpropagation) is something the QM doorman can't actually do anything about. The job for said doorman is basically to complete the circuit.

So what you mean is that, each of these branches have non equal probabilities, where there's some state wherein the doorman is more likely to advertise? How did this inequality come forth? Specifically if the the chance of a before it happening is equally likely, who determined this new unequal probability?

Yes, the doorman is more likely to advertise in states that are of greatest cohesion and permutability. This allows for the 'quantum' to be an actual thing because of their superposition in the queue, but for said doorman that queue state must also be for the greatest possible number of queues, NOT the greatest possible number of queue members.

The 'unequal' part is mostly because if everyone is trying to find the door then the obvious bottleneck is everyone trying to flood the system by claiming they are the doorman rather than using the obvious one presented. The doorman would be me, and Anonymous, or essentially whatever qbit (read: the individual) can maintain cohesion with as they take said awareness/perspective through successive states/stages/nodes/events/sequences.

>Pic related is a quantum cascade laser.

Quantum would be all the queues to the doorman, who simply 'bit flips' queue members to their preferred state.
Cascade would be all the queues getting flipped.
Laser would be the linear event of all being flipped simultaneously

The period trenches are obviously where the doorman experiences quantum decoherence, which restablishes itself when doorman again is first found through queues that enable it to be of greatest availability.

Many worlds is the end result of an equation fetish. Platonists are on the same level as flat earthers. If you have to build such an elaborate conceptual system as the supposed logical conclusion of your equation, then probably the equation is wrong in some way.

>obvious bottleneck
Supremely dumb question, but isn't quantum mechanics a true parallel system, meaning 2 states (independent) can be changed/flipped at the same time. Isn't this the main idea behind a quantum computer? So by this regard the doorman in theory can use multiple hands (where no of hands equals no of states) to flip or change the states of all incoming states simultaneously?

There is zero evidence for many worlds so you can discard it like everything else with zero evidence. This topic isn't /sci/ related and discussing the "implications" is a waste of time.

>I always thought this was the most laughable and absurd one, but apparently the leading academics are choosing this over Copenhagen now?
Indeed. But you should not choose either as both are retarded.
>What are the implications of this?
Nothing changes because it doesn't affect us.
>Does this make the universe (the universes?) deterministic then?
The claim is that MW unlike Copenhagen is deterministic because the wave function is deterministic. But don't misunderstand this. It's not the same as what you would normally understand as deterministic. It's deterministic because "everything happens".
>Can different universes have different physical constants?
No.

Also there are other questions. Most physicists believe that hidden variables are impossible, measurement problem is solved by decoherence, observer role is important at least in applying the formalism of QM, and objects have no defined properties prior to measurement.

All of these check out with Copenhagen or Consistent histories interpretations.

I don't think I have ever seen Sean demonstrate how many worlds is better.
He waves his hands and says it solves the wave-function collapse problem but he just replaces the "collapse" with "branching".
I would love to see how many worlds is not isomorphic (computationally) to copenhagen.

There's essentially 3 routes you have to take with QM interpetations.

a) The world is quantum mechanical in nature. The particles in our body obey the laws of quantum mechanics just like a particle in our test lab. If you do this, then you get Many World as the default choice.
b) The world is classical mechanical in nature. As in there are only particles and no waves, no entanglement, no collapse, etc. Quantum Mechanics is just a math tool to calculate. If you believe this, then you're into Hidden Variable theory.
c) The world is divided into quantum mechanical at small scale but our bodies and atoms/electrons that make up our bodies are not quantum mechanical. We live in two realities, world of quantum mechanics and classical world. You have things like collapse being real, but conservation of mass/energy of the wave is lost in the collapse. This is where you get Copenhagen.

You have to choose which is which.

No, all branches are within a single wave function. That's what makes it deterministic since all calculations can be done without introducing randomness. The problem here is we can't find out which branch has which. On the other hand, with copenhagen, we can't predict anything because 99.999999999999999999999% of the wave branch disappears with a "collapse", so we have to introduce a random variable.

The Veritasium video did a nice job of explaining many worlds. I thought it was a stupid theory beforehand but now it makes a lot of sense.

How I understand it is that the universe can be described as a single wave function with an immense number of parameters, and we are experiencing the function where those parameters have each been given one specific value of infinitely many potential values.

No, it means no such thing. It means the future of the wavefunction as a whole is determined by the past of the wavefunction as a whole. It does NOT mean that things are predictable from the point of view of a particular section of the wavefunction.

And here I was hoping I would not have to explain this thing.

But this is not how science has EVER turned out to work. Every single time we had a deep-but-complex view of a scientific system as well as a superficial-but-convenient view, every single time, it turned out that the behavior predicted by the superficial understanding is simply what happens when you apply the deeper understanding to the complicated realities of the real world; it's not a separate mode that the universe can operate in.

Atoms readily display properties predicted by quantum mechanics; large parts of chemical interactions we can understand in a quantum mechanical footing. You may have observed that atoms and chemistry are also part of me, and my desk, and my beer. Do you think that atoms and chemistry work using one set of physics when studied under a microscope in a lab, and a different set of physics entirely that just so happens to behave in the same way when those same atoms are part of my beer instead? Do you think the universe runs the lab in Hard Mode and the beer in Easy Mode?

Because every single time we considered such an understanding of the universe, the answer turned out to be "lolno" -- there is one way the universe works, and big complex things are big complex applications of the same underlying behavior that runs the careful lab experiences.

[continued]
The best example of this is special relativity. Turns out, the universe does not have a special mode for things that gotta go fast, while running the rest of the universe on Newtonian mechanics; it's all special relativity, all the time. It just so happens that under the logic of special relativity, everything that goes slow enough behaves in a way that is very nearly identical to what Newtonian mechanics would predict. Close enough that you can do your calculations in Newtonian mechanics and get almost exactly the right answer.

This means that if you are an engineer designing a bridge (which does not feature any speeds high enough that special relativity predicts substantial differences from Newtonian mechanics), you can just straight up forget about special relativity, do your designs entirely using Newtonian mechianics, and save yourself a ton of work that way. But that doesn't mean that the universe is running your bridge in Newtonian Mode. There is only one mode, which involves special relativity, and understanding exactly how Newtonian mechanics derives from special relativity is a key part of understanding all this.

And the same applies to every single other similar case in the history of science. You would have to be quite blind to history to give any credence to the idea that quantum mechanics will be any different.

David Deutsch gives a pretty good argument against this sort of positivism. If there's no experimental difference between multiple interpretations, you *could* pick any or none of them, but there are still worthwhile reasons to prefer certain interpretations over others, like simplicity. More importantly, the goal of science is to explain how and why something works. Predicting future states mechanically without trying to understand the underlying structure isn't science. If we don't pick an interpretation, we aren't doing science. If we treat all interpretations that can't be experimentally distinguished as equivalent, we end up with ridiculous unsatisfying theories.
