David Deutsch - Many Worlds of Quantum Theory

Quantum theory is very strange. No act is wholly sure. Everything works by probabilities, described by a wave function. But what is a wavefunction? One theory is that every possibility is in fact a real world of sorts. This is the Many Worlds interpretation of Hugh Everett and what it claims boggles the brain. You can't imagine how many worlds there would be.

    Thank you. David Deutsch is a personal hero of mine. An interview I saw with him, about 24 years ago, left me feeling vindicated about a debate with a college professor. The argument was about possible mechanisms for single photon interference, after I was first shown the experiment in summer of 1988. He believed the notion of photons interfering with parallel counterparts, in "virtual" universes, was ridiculous nonsense.

    For those already initiated in QM I repeat here some comments previously made to similar videos. They may clarify several pending matters. The Schrödinger time dependent equation (STDE) when applied to a wave representing an initial state of, say, an electron bound to a proton and together forming a hydrogen atom, predicts and retrodicts all the future and previous states of the electron wave, in the same fashion than the evolution equations of classical mechanics predicts the movement of the Earth around the Sun. Note that the STDE is energy conservative, that is, the initial state as well as the predicted and retrodicted ones all have the same energy. As is well known the bound electron has a completely different conduct. Whatever the initial state and in absence of other interactions an excited electron will settle in a stationary state radiating energy (in the form of a photon) along the way. If the stationary state is the ground state the electron will stay there forever (in absence, as said before, of other interactions). Otherwise the stationary electron state is ephemeral and will be abandoned to radiate a photon and assume a new stationary state of even lower energy. This "down the staircase" process repeats until the ground state is reached. There is no manner to adapt the STDE to this physical process. This inconsistency was discovered by none other than Niels Bohr, as can be inferred from the report of Werner Heisenberg. See our note www.researchgate.net/publication/356193279_Deconstruction_of_Quantum_Wave_Mechanics After discovering the tremendous inconsistency between the equation and the atom it would have been natural to announce that the STDE contradicted physical facts, and ask for a correct equation. I assume as true, but only know from hearsay very long ago, that in Einstein's viewpoint the correct deterministic time dependent wave equation had to be non-linear in contrast with the linear STDE. References to this historical detail would be appreciated. It is hard to believe but, against reasonableness and common sense, Bohr decided to adopt the STDE as correct and that continuity, causality and determinism of physical processes were wrong because they contradicted the STDE. Apparently mathematical equations on paper were more relevant than the experience of the whole human race. Then a series of new and fanciful "quantum physical principles" were adopted. In my opinion the powerful quantum establishment dogmatically defends Quantism and strongly rejects any attempt to correct its misdeeds, even if the correct deterministic time dependent wave equation is available.

    With yesterday's interview as a point of reference - "How Does Beauty Color the Universe" - this episode is its flip side. There is little about *any* of the multiverse interpretations that provides clarity, demonstrating neither symmetry nor simplicity. Worst of all, given their enthusiasm, you would expect a multiverse interpretation to provide some account of the entropy problem, but it does no such thing. The entropy problem still lurks in the background, still demanding to be taken seriously.

For example, before the advent of radio communication, people hardly knew that there is radio wave within nearly everything. Another example is the suspected "dark energy." In the future, we may discover other things or phenomenal that we do not at present think exist. Whether that will be in the quantum field, we wait to see.

    David Deutsch is absolutely brilliant, and I agree with him in suspecting the Everett interpretation is correct but I disagree with the need for the universes to be existing in parallel rather than say be emerging timeline branches. It may seem to only be a semantical difference (different universes vs different timelines) but they have different ramifications and taken intuitively I don't think differentiating universes work as well. The key to understanding why is considering the universal wave function, which is the totality of all possible superpositions futures and histories. To the everettian that is what the true actual universe is at the scale of everything, the universal wavefunction. It progresses deterministically in accordance with the schrodinger equation. The same equation that charts all possible paths for a photon (or any other subatomic particle) to take during a double slit experiment applies to everything in existence. It appears to just be a quality of matter itself to take all possible paths, it is just that usually we can't notice this behavior outside of subatomic scales even though that is what is actually happening. However realizing that this applies for all matter in general the idea of a universal wave function is an inevitable conclusion. So it isn't like there are multiple "universes" that combine to create the universal wave function because each of those "universes" would still need to have matter progress in the same way, taking all possible paths. You could try to explain the multiple different paths as being an infinite amount of universes differentiating but it is easier to say that there was one initial state that is progressing to all possible paths which we would view as different timelines. Though some might argue there really is no difference between the two versions of this, the timeline view does not need an infinity of universes at the beginning, it only needs 1 state of which progresses as quantum physics suggests it would which results in multiple timelines. However considering that B theory of time may be the case (as supported by the ramifications of special relativity) perhaps it makes no difference anyway. What time itself could be is an illusion on our end with every possible moment already existing, meaning alternate futures and multiple outcomes of time already exist and would in fact be "differentiating" so to speak. Ah whatever. Still works better.

But intuition and common sense tell me that Multiverse is quite possible or even probable. If something can happen once, it can happen again. If something can happen at one place, it can happen elsewhere. Actually it does happen. If there is one electron, there are many electrons. That holds true for stars, planets, galaxies and everything that exists. There is nothing which is single piece in it's category. That also should hold good for big bang and universe also.

Or can the branches still interact later on? As for the question of how many multi-verses, RLK presses for a number. DD gives the example of a cubic meter of air.

    I could see it both ways. 1. Once one interacts with another that essentially creates another copy universe that splits off from the first 2 that interacted. 2. They are able to continually interact at some level (quantum in this case) but not in larger forms (matter, physical objects larger then photons). So at the quantum level, there can be interaction but once it reaches a specific level larger then quantum the interaction is imperceptible. For all we know all of the parallel / multi-verses are always all around us, doing their own thing in the background. When walking down the street you might actually walk into/ through another object in another universe but it's completely imperceptible to us. Like all the universes are stacked inside one another, taking up the same space all at the same or different time. One could even have been the cause of the big bang. I've always liked the idea that the big bang was actually like a theoretical "white hole" or counter of a Black hole caused by the creation or evaporation of a black hole in another universe. What if this universe is just the inside of a black hole created from another universe?

    I don’t think there are branches as such - I think he says in the interview that’s what people used to think but now the view has matured. The multiverse would be a set of all possible quantum configurations in my understanding. Think of a computer game - there is a maximum number of possible states for that game to be in. If you moved every possible movable thing in that game to every possible place it could be based on the laws and limitations of that game, that would be the multiverse. This would be an enormous number of possibilities - not infinite but imagine how many characters, objects, camera perspectives etc there are. Deutsch is suggesting, as far as I can tell. That the multiverse in some sense a sum of all those states. It doesn’t branch as such, it is an object of an immense number of possible states and we as humans, essentially, are on a journey through a narrow set of those states. We aren’t branching off, we’re simply experiencing in play through of the computer game, so to speak. But the multiverse itself is the sum of all possible states of all possible things. It’s a mind-boggling idea but I think it has a lot of merit. Max Tegmark has a related though different idea with his “mathematical universe” idea. That the universe is the sum of all possible mathematical states.

But if you think about it, our universe can only comprise of the rules and limits of our universe. Anything outside the “game” can’t interact with something inside the game. Think of two computer games being played side by side (assume they have no connection through the internet). They can’t interact with each other. The rules of one game are different to another, and they are separate bubbles. They do not “exist” together, even though they are next to each other. But, they are both in the same room. So in that sense the occupy the same space. The room could be though of as a multiverse. It’s not a perfect analogy but it’s a way to think about it - you could have a room filled with every possible computer game in every possible state. None of them can directly communicate with each other, but they exist in the same realm. Each computer game could be in a huge number of different states, so each universe is a combination of every possible state. And the multiverse is a combination of every possible state of every possible game.

    Depends on what level of multiverse you refer. In our own universe the belief is that it is infinite and where the constants can change, so that we exist an infinite amount of times. (You never reach a horizon from the inside) The the many words interpretation of quantum wave function, where the entire universe branches from the wave function and each of us branches off (allowed by Hilbert space). Third. Eternal Inflation theory, where there are 10 to the 500 manifold dimensions, including ours and each exists an infinite number of times. Source - Max Tagmark

  • @TehNetherlands

    I think that is because the potentially infinite energy density is not actualized, or because it's all about relative energy. In other words, a temporary fluctuation is a smaller infinity compared to its surroundings, forcing a collapse of sorts. So the infinity could be thought of as a boolean value (existence vs non-existence), but there would still be an actual real numerical difference between individual fluctuations. I'd assume the magnitude of these fluctuations would be decided by a stochastic process, and the fluctuations would on average approach some nominal value. It's all speculation really. Edit: perhaps some evolutionary principle could be at work.

You can only make an other choice to get a new outcome in order to fix the previous mistake or to enhance the previous result.

The multiverse in my opinion is a scientific cop-out: it is not a theory, but a flaw of the human mind to come to terms with the implications of QM, which is by no means a finished theory (as seems to have been also Dirac's opinion). In spite of its success, there are many gaps in QM (both mathematical as well as physical) and we are well advised to fill those gaps first, before fancying an almost pseudo-religious interpretation of an incomplete theory.

    We need to recognize the entire probability sphere for photon (mostly…being probabilistic) and cloud for electrons AS THE PARTICLE. A photon can very sensibly be modeled as a spherical ripple which propagates from point of origin outward at c. A ripple caused by the implosion collapse of an electron orbital. The speed at which the collapse occurs determines the wavelength , the thickness so to speak of this propagating spherical process. Space is a superfluid which is why the wave equation works without dissipation as in material process. The only additional modification to integrate gravity is a third or fourth root modification of the density of the metric ( c= 1/root Eo Uo ) according to local energy density. This will make space more dense in gravitational field turning gravitational lensing into refraction through more dense medium. Mass units become spheres of total internal reflection because of that refraction. With Planck size because Eo Uo.

In this era there are still many who want to imply that anything they don't understand, rather than being natural, just has to be ... supernatural. If you had the ability to create the universe, would you choose to deprive your creatures of your own wisdom, and then punish them for not knowing what you know? “We are all hallucinating all the time, including right now.
