Further to this, to say that the 2nd law is falsified, we'd have to
have circumstances where the less likely outcome ocurred more
frequently than the more often. (ie entropy decreases more often than
it increases). But this begs the question of what we mean by
likelihood of outcome, if not related

As Michael pointed out, the 2nd law is a statistical law, which says
that
No, it just means no-one's put enough stress on the 2nd Law yet :)
Besides, it's not so much a law as a guideline. Well, a strong statistical
tendency

In the description of the quantum immortality gedanken experiment, a
physicist rigs an automatic rifle to a geiger counter to fire into him
upon the detection of an atomic decay event from a bit of radioactive
material. If the many worlds hypothesis is true, the self-awareness of
the physicist wil
Youness,
hmmm I am not sure Perhaps a duality, or a Galois connection
of some sort. I'm afraid that an *equivalence* would show up only in
the case where "I" am the "world" or comp is false or in the case where
the comp level of substitution is infinitely low, roughly speaking.
In that
