Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI)
Introduction, Important Definitions and Related Concepts:
The many-worlds interpretation or MWI (also known as relative
state formulation, theory of the universal wavefunction,
many-universes interpretation or many worlds), is an
interpretation of quantum mechanics. Many-worlds denies the
objective reality of
wavefunction collapse. Language interpreting or interpretation
is the intellectual activity of facilitating oral and sign-language
communication, either simultaneously or consecutively, between two, or among
three or more, speakers who neither speak nor sign the same source
language.
Functionally, interpreting and interpretation are the descriptive
words for the activity; in professional practice interpreting denotes
spoken language, while interpretation denotes
translation studies work. In
physics, a
quantum (plural: quanta) is an indivisible
entity of
energy. A photon,
for instance, being a unit of light, is a "light
quantum." Mechanics (Greek
Μηχανική) is the branch of
physics
concerned with the behaviour of
physical bodies when subjected to
forces or
displacements, and the subsequent effect of the bodies on their environment.
The discipline has its roots in several ancient civilizations:
ancient Greece, where
Aristotle
studied the way bodies behaved when they were thrown through the air (e.g. a
stone);
ancient China, with figures such as
Zhang Heng,
Shen Kuo,
and Su Song;
and
ancient India, with thinkers such as
Kanada,
Aryabhata,
and
Brahmagupta. The term "objectivity" designates both a feature of scientific
investigators and a feature of scientific inquiry itself. To be objective is to
adhere strictly to truth- conducive methods in one's thinking, particularly, to
take into account all available information, and to avoid any form of prejudice,
bias, or wishful thinking. Reality, in everyday usage, means "the state
of things as they actually exist."
[1]
[2] The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that
is, whether or
not it is
observable or
comprehensible. A wave function is a mathematical tool used in
quantum mechanics to describe any physical system. It is a
function from a
space that consists of the possible states of the system into the
complex numbers. Collapse means
To fall down or inward suddenly; cave in. To break
down suddenly in strength or health and thereby
cease to function: a
monarchy that collapsed. A language is a
system of visual, auditory, or tactile
symbols of
communication and the rules used to manipulate
them. Language can also refer to the use of such
systems as a general
phenomenon. Translation meansA restating of
something in other, especially simpler, words:
paraphrase,
rendering,
restatement,
version. See
words. The process or result of changing from
one appearance, state, or phase to another:
change,
changeover,
conversion,
metamorphosis,
mutation,
shift,
transfiguration,
transformation,
transmogrification,
transmutation,
transubstantiation. See
change/persist.
-
Studying, The pursuit of knowledge, as by
reading, observation, or research.
Study (drawing), a drawing, sketch or
painting done in preparation for a finished
piece. Physics is the
science of
matter[1]
and its
motion,[2][3]
as well as
space and
time[4][5]
— the
science that deals with concepts such as
force,
energy,
mass, and
charge. Physics is an
experimental
science;[6]
it is the general analysis of
nature, conducted in order to understand how
the world around us behaves.[7]
An entity is something that has a
distinct, separate
existence, though it need not be a material
existence. In particular,
abstractions and
legal fictions are usually regarded as
entities. In
physics, the photon is the
elementary particle (specifically, a
boson) responsible for
electromagnetic phenomena. It is the
carrier of
electromagnetic radiation of all
wavelengths, including
gamma rays,
X-rays,
ultraviolet light,
visible light,
infrared light,
microwaves, and
radio waves. Light, or visible
light, is
electromagnetic radiation of a
wavelength that is visible to the human
eye (about 400–700
nm). In a
scientific context, the word light is
sometimes used to refer to the entire
electromagnetic spectrum.[1]
Greek (ελληνική
γλώσσα
IPA:
[eliniˈkʲi
ˈɣlosa] or simply
ελληνικά
IPA:
[eliniˈka]
— "Hellenic") has a documented history of 3,400
years, the longest of any single
natural language in the
Indo-European
language family. It is also one of the
earliest attested Indo-European languages, with
fragmentary records in
Mycenaean dating back to the 15th or 14th
century BC, making it one of the world's oldest
recorded living languages. Physical means
The nature (physicality)
of a
physical entity
-
Physical examination, a regular overall
check-up with a doctor. With regard to
living things, a body is the
integral physical material of an individual.
"Body" often is used in connection with
appearance,
health issues and
death. In
physics, force is what causes a
mass to
accelerate. It may be experienced as a
twist, a push, or a pull.
-
Particle displacement, a measurement
of distance of the movement of a
particle in a medium as it transmits a
wave.
Displacement field (mechanics), an
assignment of displacement vectors for
all points in a body that is displaced
from one state to another. Ancient means
having had
an existence of many years2: of
or relating to a remote period, to a
time early in history, or to those
living in such a period or time;
especially
: of
or relating to the historical period
beginning with the earliest known
civilizations and extending to the fall
of the western Roman Empire in
a.d. 476.

India (Hindi:
भारत
Bhārat; see also
other names), officially the
Republic of India (Hindi:
भारत गणराज्य
Bhārat Gaṇarājya), is a
sovereign nation in
South
Asia. It is the
seventh largest country by
geographical area, the
second most populous country, and
the most populous
democracy in the world.[12]
Kanada (also transliterated
as Canada and in other ways;
Sanskrit कणाद) was a
Hindu sage who founded the
philosophical school of
Vaisheshika.
[1].
He talked of Dvyanuka (biatomic
molecule) and tryanuka (triatomic
molecule). Āryabhaṭa
(Devanāgarī:
आर्यभट) (b.
476 AD –
550) is the first in the line of
great mathematician-astronomers from the
classical age of
Indian mathematics and
Indian astronomy. His most famous
works are the
Aryabhatiya (499)
and Arya-Siddhanta.
Brahmagupta was born in 598 CE in
Bhinmal city in the state of
Rajasthan of northwest India. He
likely lived most of his life in
Bhillamala (modern
Bhinmal in
Rajasthan) in the empire of
Harsha during the reign (and
possibly under the patronage) of King
Vyaghramukha.[1]
In
physics, particularly in
quantum physics, a system
observable is a property of the
system state that can be determined
by some sequence of physical
operations. For example, these
operations might involve submitting the
system to various
electromagnetic fields and
eventually reading a value off some
gauge. Comprehensible means readily
comprehended or understood;
intelligible. The
mathematical concept of a
function expresses dependence
between two quantities, one of which is
given (the
independent variable, argument of
the function, or its "input") and the
other produced (the dependent variable,
value of the function, or "output"). A
function associates a single output to
each input element drawn from a fixed
set, such as the
real numbers. Science considers
space to be a
fundamental quantity (a quantity
which can not be defined via other
quantities because other quantities —
like
force and
energy — are already defined via
space). Thus an
operational definition is used in
which the procedure of
measurement of space intervals (distances)
and the units of measurement are
defined.
In
mathematics, a complex number
is a
number which can be formally defined
as an
ordered pair of
real numbers (a,b),
often written:
-
Complex numbers have addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and
division operations defined, with
behaviours which are a strict superset
of real numbers, as well as having other
elegant and useful properties.
Symbols are objects, characters, or
other concrete representations of ideas,
concepts, or other abstractions. For
example, in the United States, Canada,
Australia and Great Britain, a red
octagon is a symbol for the traffic
sign meaning "STOP". Communication
is a process that allows organisms to
exchange information by several methods.
Exchange requires
feedback. Phenomenon meansan
object or aspect known through the
senses rather than by thought or
intuition. A temporal or spatiotemporal
object of sensory experience as
distinguished from a noumenon.
Paraphrase (IPA:
/ˈpærəˌfreɪz/)
is restatement of a text or passage,
using other words. The term "paraphrase"
derives via the
Latin "paraphrasis" from the
Greek "para phraseïn"
("additional manner of expression").
Rendering is the process of
generating an image from a
model, by means of computer
programs. The model is a description of
three dimensional objects in a strictly
defined language or data structure.
Restate means to state again or in a new
form. See Synonyms at
repeat.
A version is any change in
form.
For the process of assigning software
version numbers, see
Software versioning. Word means
A sound or a combination of sounds,
or its representation in writing or
printing, that symbolizes and
communicates a meaning and may
consist of a single morpheme or of a
combination of morphemes. Something
said; an utterance, remark, or
comment:
May I say a word about that?
Isaac Newton and
Gottfried Leibniz harnessed
mathematical concepts into
calculus to provide mathematical
models of change. In modern physics,
the concept of change is associated
with
action. Changeover in
manufacturing is the
process of converting a line or
machine from running one product to
another. Changeover times can last
from a few minutes to as much as
several weeks in the case of
automobile manufacturers
retooling for new models. Conversion
meansSomething that is changed
from one use, function, or purpose
to another.
- Law. The unlawful
appropriation of another's
property. Metamorphosis means
any complete change
in appearance,
character,
circumstances, etc.
|
|
a form resulting
from any such
change.
