Quantum Suicide

Does the Copenhagen Interpretation strike anyone else as eerily like lazy evaluation?<p>My other thought is that once you're doing 'thought experiments', you've become rather unmoored from science as I understand it: Observation, Hypothesis, Prediction, Experiment, and so forth. Hopefully, the 'thought experiments' will lead to something testable.

haha quantum physics may as well be chinese to me. the only explanation that has <i>ever</i> made the least bit of sense is that cartoon with the old man super hero talking about light particles.

Nice movie plot for Jet Li perhaps, but they don't actually explain how to kill yourself in all universes. So, unless you're a cat or Solid Snake, you can get out of that box now.

They have no clue what they are talking about. For example this:<p><i>This is the same case with quantum suicide. When the man pulls the trigger, there are two possible outcomes: the gun either fires or it doesn't. In this case, the man either lives or he dies. Each time the trigger is pulled, the universe splits to accommodate each possible outcome</i><p>Universes do not split like that. That would mean many universes were being created from nothing every instant. What actually happens is there are <i>already</i> infinitely many "universes" and they <i>become different</i>. And not one per outcome, but in proportion to the probability of outcomes.
