*If someone is a big fan of the law of conservation of mass/energy then he should also be a big fan of Many Worlds. This is because theories that assume measurement induced wave function collapse is real, such as Copenhagen, the expected energy range can change quite significantly. But Many Worlds doesn't have that problem because there is no wave collabs, all outcomes that are allowed by Schrodinger's equation continue and energy remains conserved, globally and exactly. This is because the universal quantum wave function is unitary, it evolves smoothly and no new information is created or destroyed, the total quantum amplitude remains constant but gets divided up among the different outcome branches. In the same way slicing a loaf of bread into thinner and thinner slices does not create more bread. *
*And as I've mentioned before, unlike the second law the first law of thermodynamics is not some sacred testament that no physicist dare question. Classical physics and Special relativity have a clear definition of energy and a conservation law, but General relativity doesn't even have a global definition of "energy", much less a conservation law about it.* *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* *3d7* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
