When I ask the source of this claim, you've repeatedly pointed to S's equation informing you of that. But in the polarizer experiment, there is no such equation to appeal to. So how can your claim be valid in this case? AG * *I've already answered that question in my last post, and in about a dozen posts before that!

It uses the classical particle energy for solutions of the wf. Your comment above is a figment of your imagination. Moreover, it says nothing about polarizers.

AG* *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.
