Reliable observers in the multiverse

10 thoughts on “Reliable observers in the multiverse”

1. I am not a BB!

2. Well, the argument why I am not a Boltzmann brain does not sound at all; in fact, any sequence of snapshots of states of non-Boltzmann brain must have the twin counterpart presented by some set of snapshots of Boltzmann brains with correspondent order upon this set.

3. The Boltzman Crow appears! Much more of them than Boltzman Whales, as less particles are needed.

4. I'm BB and you all just figment of my imagination

5. Even the crow liked this video!!!

6. How funny the irony is that most if not all of physics was created by a simple thought , a Boltzmann brain that translates disorder into order , a brains that is from a different universe that provides information from a different cosmos. All that we know about physics comes from a Boltzmann brain all the different quantitative reasoning comes from a random fluctuation in the multiverse

7. He's one of the most skilled orators for science. Love the video

8. Yep, as with solipsism it's probably best to ignore the possibility. But wait… is that a Bolzmann Blackbird at 11.46?

9. I would use a similar argument in favour of Freewill. The notion that Freewill is a delusion is also cognitively unstable.

   One question- if entropy is a property of a system on a macro scale, does it exist on a micro scale? Also, if time is an emergent phenomenon on a macro scale, can backward or retro causality occur on a microscale. If it can, then on a microscale everything just 'is'. But I have heard theoretical physicists talk about entropy on a microscale. By observing a particle its entropy is reduced. If it interacts with its environment its entropy increases?
   But observation requires interaction. A Boltzmann Brain would interact with as well as observe its immediate environment. Would total entropy of BB + environment stay constant? But then I am outside this system but observing it… This entropy thing …

10. Yay Sean Carroll
