And until there's a derivation of the Born probabilities, many worlds isn't necessarily simpler than a model with physical collapse.
I find that difficult to believe. Born probabilities are comparable to a law that causes particles to become disentangled, if you ignore the violations of the Tao of physics. In order to get a complete theory, you also have to have a law that causes particles to become entangled, and a law that causes particles to interact without ever becoming entangled.
Am I missing something?
(for example, in the most recent sequence rerun)
Please link when you do that. It's not going to stay the most recent sequence rerun.
Prompted by Mitchell Porter, I asked on Physics StackExchange about the accuracy of the physics in the Quantum Physics sequence:
What errors would one learn from Eliezer Yudkowsky's introduction to quantum physics?
Eliezer Yudkowsky wrote an introduction to quantum physics from a strictly realist standpoint. However, he has no qualifications in the subject and it is not his specialty. Does it paint an accurate picture overall? What mistaken ideas about QM might someone who read only this introduction come away with?
I've had some interesting answers so far, including one from a friend that seems to point up a definite error, though AFAICT not a very consequential one: in Configurations and Amplitude, a multiplication factor of i is used for the mirrors where -1 is correct.
