On the Concept of Possibility in Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR

This paper introduces a concept of possibility to support Everett's Many-Worlds interpretation, proposing that only one real world exists while others are possible with varying degrees of possibility, challenging traditional modal views.

Contribution

It presents a novel interpretation of possibility within quantum mechanics, emphasizing a single real world with multiple possible worlds distinguished by their degrees of possibility.

Findings

Proposes a new concept of possibility in quantum mechanics.

Supports Everett's Many-Worlds interpretation with a unique perspective.

Challenges traditional modal notions of possibility and reality.

Abstract

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. In this short paper I introduce a concept of possibility in order to vindicate Everett's Theory of many worlds. The main idea is that there is only one world: the real. After the wave-collapse, we have again only one world, but many possible worlds which have a different grade of possibility. In this sense 'possible' exclude the 'reality', opposing a long modal tradition.
