| | Would you please stop forking my universe | | 2 points by demallien on Sept 14, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment | | Like many other HNers, I like to dabble a little in physics. For the last few months I have been thinking about the Copenhagen interpretation and the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum physics. I think I have finally decided that I like the Many Worlds interpretation better - it fits so nicely with what we would expect to see if we are living in the Matrix. Does anyone want to argue the case for the Copenhagen interpretation? |

"What's the quantum state of particle 1235435432? Who cares, nobody's going to look. If they do look, we'll just resolve it at measuring time or when it interacts with something else at that level."
Many-Worlds seems nonsensical because... well, every particle interaction forks an entire new existence? There are still pieces of the question we are missing. We are stuck in rampant guessing mode because we don't have measurable experiments.
