I'll do it one last time and make it as simple as I can. * *Schrodinger's Equation describes how fermions behave quantum mechanically. A macroscopic object, such as a polarizer, is made out of fermions. There is no rotational angle that Schrodinger's Equation forbids a macroscopic polarizer to be in. Thus the essence of many worlds can be boiled down to just 6 words, "Schrodinger's Equation means what it says". Even though it's redundant, for clarification it might be wise to add 10 more "measured and unmeasured objects obey the same laws of physics". * * John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* *`~$* *3* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
