They are not equivalent, because the worlds depends not only on the system (the electrons), but also on the measuring apparatus and the environment. For ideal systems like this, we can probably ignore the environment though. Since the magnets have different orientations, the worlds are different, and correspond to different sets of branches in each world. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders hpco...@hpcoders.com.au http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
