Can you unpack your argument against Bohm? Why does a real guide-wave require multiple worlds?
The guide-wave contains everything. It's never collapsed, there's no fade-away as you recede from the worldline. The rules governing the guide-wave are exactly those of quantum mechanics, which don't mention any worldline. As far as the guide-wave is concerned, the worldline doesn't exist. It's a one-way connection. Right there we've got an oddity - the only entity in physics that would act without a reaction.
But setting that aside, the guide-wave implements the dynamics of branches not taken by the worldline. You see a nuclear decay? Nothing's halting the...
Today's post, Decoherence is Falsifiable and Testable was originally published on 07 May 2008. A summary (taken from the LW wiki):
Discuss the post here (rather than in the comments to the original post).
This post is part of the Rerunning the Sequences series, where we'll be going through Eliezer Yudkowsky's old posts in order so that people who are interested can (re-)read and discuss them. The previous post was Decoherence is Simple, and you can use the sequence_reruns tag or rss feed to follow the rest of the series.
Sequence reruns are a community-driven effort. You can participate by re-reading the sequence post, discussing it here, posting the next day's sequence reruns post, or summarizing forthcoming articles on the wiki. Go here for more details, or to have meta discussions about the Rerunning the Sequences series.
