Reasoning on Many-Worlds Interpretatıon of Quantum Theory

Abstract

Some difficulties that arise, when we try to imagine how a packet is reduced in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory, are discussed in the work. It is shown that suggested by now explanations how the wave packet reduction happens cannot claim upon the role of the final answer to this question, even though they are not formally contradictory.

Many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory and fundamental problems of biophysics

Vladimir A. Namiot

The main aspects connected with the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory are discussed in the article. A possible relation of the interpretation with fundamental biological problems is emphasized. The context of the many-worlds interpretation is discussed in the frames of the so-called “wave function reduction” problem. Thus, some difficulties that arise when we try to imagine how a wave function is reduced in the many-worlds interpretation, are focused on. It is shown that explanations suggested by now as to how the “wave function reduction” happens cannot claim to be the final answer to this question, even though they are not formally contradictory.

Revisiting the Concepts of Subjectivity and Reality in Many-Worlds View of Consciousness and Super-Consciousness

Ping Sun, Ravi Prakash

We read with interest the theory of consciousness propounded by Mensky (2011), based on the many-worlds view by Everett. The work done by the author to mathematically frame the many-worlds theory in the field of consciousness is commendable. NeuroQuantology | June 2012 | Volume 10 | Issue 2 | Page 346-347

Quanta, Computations, and Extended Everett Concept

Alexander D Panov

In the Extended Everett Concept, proposed by M.B. Mensky, is assumed, that numerous quantum alternatives that are included in a superposition of many-world Everett universe, are available for the analysis to consciousness, being in some threshold states like sleep or meditation. Since this possibility is in the direct contradiction to no-cloning theorem of quantum mechanics, the question arises how this can be. The proposed solution is based on an analogy with the miracle of cloning of states, which can be implemented for an observer living in the quantum world, simulated on a classical computer. The basis of the hypothesis is the algorithmic solvability of the quantum theory. NeuroQuantology | March 2013 | Volume 11 | Issue 1| Suppl 1 | Page 116-122

Interpretação de vários mundos da mecânica quântica? – É muito simples!

Alexander Yu. Kamenshchik

We describe in a relatively popular way the main ideas of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. We discuss the question about its “counter-intuitiveness” citing some literature works written before and after its invention.

Contiguity of Parallel Worlds: Buddhist and Everett's

Andrei Terentyev

Niels Bohr himself pointed out to similarity of some philosophic approaches in quantum mechanics and in Buddhism. Some modern interpretations of quantum mechanics go even closer to the Buddhist approach, such as Everett interpretation and, specifically, the recent 'Extended Everett Concept' developed by M.B. Mensky. The present paper shows that both Buddhist thinkers and modern physicists, using very different methods, arrived basically at the same description of reality we live in. This is the point where the parallel worlds of Buddhism and Physics unexpectedly touched each other, and the deeper meaning of this contact is yet to be appreciated by both parties.
