One thought on “Physics of the observer – Quantum Physics – Prof. Bill Poirier”
hey, I just read about the "many interacting worlds" as a alternative to the branching of many worlds and it's for me as layman at least a more elegant idea. Is it correct to think the place of the measurement as being inhabited by particles of the "nearby worlds" where also that same measurement is going on also at that same time? And I even wonder if nearby can't mean also nearby in time. If I read about retrocausal entanglement it's like the wavefunction spreads just as well along the time axis. For a system in superposition seems almost like outside time and position as long as it hasn't collapsed. But of course that would mean that our whole universe is outside time and place in a certain way and then it doesn't make much sense. Further about amplitudes, these could just show how the most related nearby worlds share much in common while the furthest away contribute only a few virtual particles. But then each object should have no sharp border since it would always be surrounded by ever growing more fuzzy shadow copies of itself.
