Parallel Universe Exactly the Same as Another

@Alan Smithee

This is where we disagree. As I understand it, a particle is a collection of quantum states. If particle X has quantum state A, and is “replaced” by particle Z with quantum state A, all that has happened is you’ve changed the name. There is no particle, just a quantum state.

You might be right about that.

I’d ask Mathochist to tell us, but I’m sure he’d say we’re both wrong, and neither of us would be able to understand why!

Randomness rather than determinism is built into the universe in a fundamental way.

So does that mean the Calvinists have it all wrong?

I thank all the participants of this thread, as we sit sit back in the Starlight Lounge and watch the end of the universe.
