  1. It makes sense that branchial space and exponential dimensions. One thing leads to another, and in a large enough system there's no way you'll arrive at some (identical!) future state by wildly divergent paths. I mean, most branches will NOT lead to any merging -- the cookie dough will never unmix.

  2. I though Hilbert Spaces was one of the dullest concepts. I mean, how interesting can a generalization of Euclidean space get?

  3. So would Einstein be comforted by the fact that, while God plays dice with the universe, Einstein has given us the tools to understand how those dice are loaded?

  4. @Alexandros K Just curious, did you upvote it? I've gotten the impression recently that YouTube is playing silly games with my account.

  5. @Alexandros K Huh. Very interesting.

  6. It's not just a function of the math.... Chaos is increasing -- we see by the shattering cup, that disorder tends to increase. Or by selecting a frame of reference.... At a human scale we actually see things discretely, rather than in some branchial space. Theories don't imply reality, they describe reality.

  7. Waitaminute -- I thought that the Young double-slit interference pattern indicated the set of possible outcomes for where the photon lands. Did Wolfram just say that the photon could end up *nowhere*? Could he explain that a little further?
