Hi to all... First off, sorry for the spelling error. Second, the link given above in one of the responses to my original post (given again below) explains why the experiment doesn't jive with Many Worlds (or Copenhagen), at least in the opinion of the author. Third, sorry for not giving more background on the matter - I thought it was fairly well known. It's basically an experiment that seems to contradict the principle of complementarity as it seems to reveal wave and particle features at the same time.
Once again, for background:
Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afshar_experiment
John Cramer on why it contradicts MW: http://www.analogsf.com/0410/altview2.shtml
I'm not saying I buy Cramer's argument - I was just curious as to other people's opinions.
Thanks!
Yikes, this doesn't seem to contradict many-worlds at all. Many-worlds doesn't claim worlds don't interfere with each other; if it did, it'd be falsified by just the two-slit experiment, no need for this complication.
