It may be inadequate, but the consequences of quantum theory still apply without having to add new postulates. Among those consequences is many worlds.

Except we do observe interference effects. I'm not sure what you mean.

Guess that's what happens when you shut down safe, cheap, emissions-free sources of electricity for nonsense ideological reasons (nuclear power plants).

I'll have to look into those derivations. Thanks. > There is an additional postulate, namely that the state vector is the real world we inhabit. Well, yes, it's a model for the phy…

In QM, evolution is unitary. The Born Rule is an empirical observation that is adequately explained by the decoherence of a quantum system into entangled states of observer, enviro…

> Superdeterminism, arguably misnamed, simply argues that QM is deterministic This is incorrect. QM is already deterministic. Where oh where do people get the idea that it is not?

Well if they insist on expressing the dynamics of the universe as the minimisation of a global (or local) action functional, then they are already throwing in the towel because tha…

Totally agree. It's therapeutic to read this. Last I checked, many-worlds is a consequence of current quantum theory, not a postulate or additional axiom. Yet people treat it like …

Well if you're doing fermionic thermal field theory sure (where the `integral' on Grassmann numbers is just some linear operation which satisfies certain properties). But apart fro…
