Fair enough. I guess my question is ~”how does it pop back to a thick line?”.So branching occurs every second but only gets noticed during a measurement in the form of apparent collapse? “Observe” would seem to imply a hierarchy; “this observes that”. And it is this measurement (that act of  opening the box to see if the cat is alive or dead) that causes the cat to have either lived or died (assume one value).The problem with this interpretation  is the whole idea of the “observer collapsing the wave function.” The question arises, This is where physicists fall silent. 4) In this world the blue particle bounces off the red particle at the second box. The red particle, however, is free to take multiple paths, and does. Sure, It’s creepy to think that there are different versions of yourself “out there” doing “stuff”, but it’s awesome to assume that you’re special and that your mind (not brain) has some kind of power over reality.There is a version of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics where consciousness (usually human, sometimes God, sometimes Gaea, …) plays a key role. There’s a post Time and again, we’ve managed to show that larger and larger objects can be in multiple states, using the double slit experiment or variations of it. 4) The blue particle can't interact with the red, so this time the red particle is free to take even more paths simultaneously (as far as this version of the blue particle is concerned). Thus a description of the cat during the course of the experiment—having been entangled with the state of a subatomic particle—becomes a "blur" of "living and dead cat.… Put your foot down and insisted that it remain in just one state and take just one path through the machine? So the big point is that the Copenhagen wave function collapse is strictly an illusion created by restricting your attention to a particular state of one object. The basic laws of quantum mechanics, when applied at all scales, give you the Many Worlds interpretation . But the only difference between the past and the future is that entropy is smaller in the past and larger in the future.It’s easy to look into the past because the number of possible pasts is small – as entropy decreases, so does the number of states. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. (The many-worlds interpretation is distinct from the multiverse hypothesis, which envisions other universes, born in separate Big Bangs, that have always been physically disconnected from our own.) )Many Worlds adherents will say that wave function collapse never happens, and that the trick is realizing that both the particles involved The big advantage behind the Copenhagen interpretation is that it makes people (like you!) You have to take into account, not only every "choice", but every interaction.This map shows how two particle move through some machine. We can consider a quantum state as being about our knowledge rather than a direct description of physical reality. The question about conservation of energy have appeard in several posts, and you have said that it is distributed amongst the states (nicely illustrated by the thinner lines). Collapse!This story is just one of the stories encompassed in the Many Worlds picture.Here’s a slightly different one. It's interesting. Conservation of information (supported by everything else, including logic), time reversibility (again, everything else), and information flowing backward through time (spacelike information exchange or “spooky action at a distance”) are only the most direct and grievous examples.”A newbie here so be gentle. We can’t remember the future because the future is what we call events we can’t remember.“Finally (without going into too much detail), the Copenhagen interpretation also violates a number of very straight forward physical laws. It's going through both. A better term might be “interact with”. A cat is put in a sealed box, with its life or death made dependent on the state of a subatomic particle. As soon as “you” can single one out, then suddenly the super- It’s called entropy.Time seems to move for us because we can remember the past but not the future. At last check, the double slit experiment was Which raises the question: what’s the damn problem? I feel pretty comfortable dismissing it out of hand. The physics of information just may be that bridging of quantum-to-digital reality of subjective experience. Either they bounce off each other at the first But what if you were the to track the blue particle? important, and different from particles. If the decay occurs, then the poison is released and the cat dies.
