Identity and uncertainty in Everett's multiverse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the current debate on the concept of probability in the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics Saunders and Wallace argue for a notion of pre-measurement uncertainty whilst Greaves and Myrvold attempt to do without uncertainty altogether.

Set Theory and Many Worlds

open access: yesQuantum Reports, 2023
The 2022 Tel Aviv conference on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics highlighted many differences between theorists. A very significant dichotomy is between Everettian fission (splitting) and Saunders–Wallace–Wilson divergence. For fission,

Hunger as an uncontroversial predictor of poor adolescent mental health: evidence from a multiverse analysis of 410,213 adolescents across 79 countries

open access: yesJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Hunger has established detrimental impacts on physical health, with emerging evidence indicating negative impacts on mental health. However, there is a pronounced knowledge gap outside high‐income settings and for adolescents. Previous research also provides differing estimates of hunger's impacts, potentially underpinned by a wide range of ...

Quiescence Multiverse

open access: yesBiomolecules
Cellular quiescence is operationally defined as a temporary and reversible cessation of proliferation. This state encompasses a wide range of physiological situations since most cells, from microbes to cells composing complex tissues, spend most of their lives non-dividing, waiting for signals to reproliferate.

Can an Eternal Life Start From the Minimal Fine-Tuning for Intelligence? [PDF]

open access: yesФилософия и космология, 2016
Since modern physicists made more and more advances in precisely measuring the fundamental constants in nature, cosmologists have been confronted with this problem: how do we declare that nature’s constants are fine-tuned for the emergence of life?

The Multiverse Theodicy Meets Population Ethics

open access: yesErgo, An Open Access Journal of Philosophy
The multiverse theodicy proposes to reconcile the existence of God and evil by supposing that God created all and only the creation-worthy universes and that some universes like ours are, despite their evils, creation-worthy.

Life, but Not as We Know It: Why Fine‐Tuning Arguments Fail

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Definitions of “life” and theories of life are systematically neglected in arguments for and from fine‐tuning. Despite claims to be neutral about the definition of “life,” fine‐tuning arguments generally presuppose that life requires a form of structural complexity only afforded by physicochemical complexity of the sort with which we are ...
