Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe
Just because it’s the doggone hardest thing to rest when I want to be active, I sometimes give in and surf the wyrder parts of the web. Here’s something I came up with today, an interesting game to play:
“One of the more audacious attempts to explain what quantum physics means is Everett’s Many Worlds Hypothesis. In this interpretation, every measurement outcome is actually realized, spawning off a new universe for every possible outcome. Every measurement splits reality. You, and everything else, exist simultaneously in each universe, a multi-verse of parallel dimensions.
As in all interpretations of quantum mechanics, the Many Worlds view does not actually predict any new phenomenon. It isn’t a testable idea, and so is not formally actually a hypothesis. There are also significant philosophical and theological grounds for rejecting this idea. If you make every choice you are faced with, then each “you” in every universe can dodge personal responsibility for your actions. Taken seriously, the Many Worlds idea destroys any possible foundations for morality or ethics. If people behaved in this way, in the limit, it would destroy civilization, and with it, science itself.
That said, the idea is not that crazy…”
