The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics — Season 1, Episode 15: Quashing Worlds With Wave Function Collapse
Documentary • 30 min • 1 season, 24 episodes • ★ 10.0/10
Episode synopsis
Given the mind-boggling implications of Many-Worlds, many physicists have sought plausible alternatives. In this lecture, consider the possibility of altering the Schrödinger equation-the jumping-off point for Many-Worlds. Investigate two proposals that try this tactic: GRW (named after its inventors, Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber) and CSL (Continuous Spontaneous Localization) theory.
About The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics
One universe is not enough. Learn about the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics in this exciting course taught by a renowned expert, Sean Carroll.
