Another thing to consider for deriving the Born Rule in MWI is the work of Hsu and Hanson. Hsu postulates a discreteness of the quantum state space and Hanson postulates a cutoff where small amplitude worlds are 'mangled' by larger ones.

My question is based on two theoretical assumptions. 1) The universe continues with its expansion resulting in an eventual "Big Rip". 2)The many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct. In this scenario will all the "branches of reality" in the many-worlds undergo the "Big Rip"...
Somewhat related to OP's question - are there any models of inflation (if the curvature of the universe turns out to be perfectly flat) which propose a finite multiverse, as opposed to an infinite one?
I recently came across this paper:
How flat can you get? A model comparison perspective on the curvature of the Universe
http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.3354"
In it the authors say "We show that, given current data, the probability that the Universe is spatially infinite lies between 67% and...
Single atom entangles two photons
Here is a interesting article from a couple of weeks ago where this team made a single atom entangle two photons.

Is this compatible with Bohm's interpretation? I read on...
Hi - Yes, I am just starting. I didn't realize there were this many interpretations :smile: If anyone wants to help out let me know. I am especially interested in comparing each of them to Afshar's epxeriment (if it is confirmed) to see if they survive.
Hi Everyone,
I am compiling a list of all the interpretations of QM and to later put on a website with detailed information on all of them and if they have any problems, etc. Here is my list so far. I would appreciate if anyone had any to add or if you find any that aren't interpretations or...
