ravermanBoth interpretations are really placeholders that allows research to continue until more evidence is found
rich_magnetOK I'm confused by the title. Do physicists know a little or do they know a lot? Do they know a superposition of both states? Have I collapsed the waveform by questioning the syntax of the title?
messengerSome placeholders are objectively better than others, I think, is what he's saying about Copenhagen vs. Many Worlds. I'd be interested to see the breakdown of the different categories, like whether the super-top people and relative newbies cluster together.

direpickleMany Worlds is dumb. Stop it. Stop it!

aaaaaaarrggh
soulmonarchUpvoted, but I really don't understand his issue with Copenhagen.
From the human perspective wave function collapse is a very real thing -- we only have a single objective reality. No one argues that there are infinite possibilities, just that only one of them 'survives'.
Many Worlds seems to think it is very important that these other possibilities still continue to exist in some nebulous 'multiverse' framework, which seems pointless to me. (I mean, look what it did to DC comics!)
