On schizophrenic experiences of the neutron or why we should believe in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory
International Studies in the Philosophy of Science 12 (3):245 – 261 (1998)
| Abstract | This is a philosophical paper in favor of the many-worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum theory. The necessity of introducing many worlds is explained by analyzing a neutron interference experiment. The concept of the “measure of existence of a world” is introduced and some difficulties with the issue of probability in the framework of the MWI are resolved. | |||||||||
