Many-Measurements or Many-Worlds? A Dialogue

TL;DR

This paper proposes replacing the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics with a many-measurements perspective, which aims to derive the Born rule and suggest a non-spatial one-world reality, offering a different understanding of quantum phenomena.

Contribution

It introduces the many-measurements view as an alternative to many-worlds, providing a new way to derive the Born rule and conceptualize a non-spatial single universe.

Findings

Derives the Born rule from the many-measurements perspective

Proposes a non-spatial one-world reality

Offers a new interpretation surpassing the multiverse scenario

Abstract

Many advocates of the Everettian interpretation consider that theirs is the only approach to take quantum mechanics really seriously, and that this approach allows to deduce a fantastic scenario for our reality, one that consists of an infinite number of parallel worlds that branch out continuously. In this article, written in dialogue form, we suggest that quantum mechanics can be taken even more seriously, if the 'many-worlds' view is replaced by a 'many-measurements' view. This allows not only to derive the Born rule, thus solving the measurement problem, but also to deduce a one-world 'non-spatial' reality, providing an even more fantastic scenario than that of the multiverse.
