An attempt to understand the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory
Description
This article explores the ''Many-worlds'' interpretation of quantum mechanics, and considers the importance of the relationship between conscious mind and experimental observations. Using the perspective offered here wave function collapse is not necessary for consistency, and experiments can be repeated. The difficulty with this perspective arises from the experimentally well-established probability rule of quantum theory. The final part of the article discusses probability and conscious choice and the need for a universal consciousness. (UK)
