	Many-worlds interpretation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been proposed that in a world with infinite alternate universes, the universes which collapse would exist for a shorter time than universes which expand, and that would cause detectable probability differences between many-worlds and the Copenhagen interpretation.
		The many-worlds interpretation (and the unrelated concept of possible worlds) have been associated to numerous themes in literature, art and science fiction.
		The many-worlds interpretation has some similarity to modal realism in philosophy, which is the view that the possible worlds used to interpret modal claims actually exist.

	Many Worlds Theory FAQ
		For two branches or worlds to interfere with each other all the atoms, subatomic particles, photons and other degrees of freedom in each world have to be in the same state, which usually means they all must be in the same place or significantly overlap in both worlds, simultaneously.
		The norm of the vector of the set of worlds where experiments contradict the Born interpretation ("non-random" or "maverick" worlds) vanishes in the limit as the number of probabilistic trials goes to infinity, as is required by the frequentist definition of probability.
		Arguments that the world picture presented by this theory is contradicted by experience, because we are unaware of any branching process, are like the criticism of the Copernican theory that the mobility of the earth as a real physical fact is incompatible with the common sense interpretation of nature because we feel no such motion.

	Mao and the three worlds theory - www.communistvoice.org
		The three worlds theory went through several different versions, and the Maoists were connected with the earlier as well as the later versions.
		Mao's connection with the three worlds theory was embarrassing for the left-wing section of the Maoist movement.
		Three worldism is the silent guest at the Maoist table, and they are apparently having no more success in washing their hands of it than Lady Macbeth had in washing her hands of the murdered Duncan's blood.

	Many Worlds Theory Fault (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Basically, the theory proposes the idea that human interaction (caused by human choices) cause “world splits”, thus implying the existence of human consciousness.
		In one example of his theory, Everett spoke of what may happen when an electron sends waves in two directions, and where two people on the receiving ends of the electron waves are communicating with faster-than-light technology while observing the electron spins.
		Finally, though the significance of the implied contradiction between these two theories may seem miniscule, similar comparisons between separate scientific theories may begin a likely series of events that could, perhaps, lead to a bridging of the sciences, an action that will be tremendously important in the very-near future.

		The theory of possible worlds (henceforth PW), a modern adaptation of a Leibnizian concept, was originally developed by philosophers of the analytic school (Kripke, Lewis, Rescher, Hintikka) as a means to solve problems in formal semantics.
		A proposition asserting the possibility of a state of affairs p is true when it is verified in at least one of the worlds of the system; a proposition asserting the necessity of p must be true in all the worlds; and a proposition asserting impossibility must be false in all of them.
		From the point of view of the ‘actual actual world’ the worlds of fiction are discourse-created non-actual possible worlds, populated by incompletely specified individuals; but to the reader immersed in the text the TAW is imaginatively real, and the characters are ontologically complete human beings.

	Enver Hoxha: Imperialism and the Revolution (1979) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The notion of the existence of three worlds, or of the division of the world in three, is based on a racist and metaphysical world outlook, which is an offspring of world capitalism and reaction.
		To divide the world in three means failure to recognize the characteristics of the epoch, to impede the advance of the proletariat and the peoples towards the revolution and national liberation, to impede their struggle against American impenalism, Soviet social-imperialism, capital and reaction in every country and in every corner of the world.
		Our Party's exposure of the theory of "three worlds" has put the Chinese revisionists in a difficult position, because they are unable to reply to our opposition and exposure theoretical y, and this is not because they are afraid of us, but because they are afraid of their lack of arguments.

	Siebert's Four Theories of the Press: A Critique
		In contrast to the authoritarian theory, the libertarian view rests on the idea that the individual should be free to publish whatever he or she likes.
		In other words, a theory will always be a compromise between general and specific criteria; that is, "to what extent the theory is applicable to all conditions at all times" (297).
		When introducing the basis for the four theories, he does not make any attempt to hide the fact that all of them have their roots from specific periods of time and are closely tied to the political conditions of those ages (6).

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Bibliography: Vienna Circle, Karl Popper, Frankfurt School, Marxism, ...
		Metaphysics and Ontology—for Mario Bunge's critique of Popper; Chapter three, section 1—Overcoming Hegel—on Popper and dialectics; Chapter three, section 3—Concreteness of Materialist Dialectics—on Popper and causality; Chapter three, section 6—Dialectics of the Objective and the Subjective in Scientific Cognition—on Popper and objectivity/subjectivity; four paragraphs on Popper in the Conclusion.
		Abstract: Stemming from critical theory and critical rationalism's "joint" dismissal of empiricism and subscription to relativism and monism, the positivist dispute in sociology, and the Albert/Habermas polemic in particular, exemplifies the inadequacy of a Popperian defence of objectivity.
		Theory and method in these disciplines work hand in hand with one another to simultaneously seek the elimination of reflexivity and the reconstitution of practice in a form better suited to the ascendancy of society as a culturally and historically specific form of collective life rather than a synonym for such life and living.

	Hugh Everett III and the Many Worlds Theory
		Quantum theory explains that until we actually observe the past, the world is in a state of simultaneity where the finite events we assume are always finite are still blended together with all the other possible worlds we haven't observed and won't observe.
		Primarily, it is the speed of light and four forces which define the wave of many worlds, and as time passes, enough particle waves collapse to create a single defined reality, and that is the world in which we live.
		As to why certain worlds are possible in time while highly imaginary worlds do not ever happen, where for example, the cat inside the box turns into a monkey, you will have to learn to understand how the realm of possibilities is shaped by two types of order.

	Merging HOL with Set Theory (abstract) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Set theory is the standard foundation for mathematics, but the majority of general purpose mechanized proof assistants support versions of type theory (higher order logic).
		Furthermore, most people with a scientific or engineering background already know set theory, whereas type theory may appear inaccessable and so be an obstacle to the uptake of proof assistants based on it.
		Three approaches have been tried, all based on an axiomatically specified type V of ZF-like sets: (i) HOL is used without any additions besides V; (ii) an embedding of the HOL logic into V is provided; (iii) HOL axiomatic theories are automatically translated into set-theoretic definitional theories.

		Long an anecdotal oddity, the Small World concept entered the public consciousness in force in 1990 with the debut of Six Degrees of Separation, John Guare's critically acclaimed play about a wealthy couple tricked by a charismatic con man claiming to be the son of actor Sidney Poitier.
		That means there are only 1,000 people in the world who are two degrees of separation from you, another 1,000 who are three degrees of separation from you, and so on.
		Whether you're in a small world or a big one, it seems essentially the same to you; you still have your 1,000 friends, whether they connect you to a wider population or not.

		"The three worlds theory is perhaps still the basis for our dominant assumptions about geopolitical and geocultural order," writes Frederick Buell, "but its hold on our imagination and faith is passing fast.
		In the wake of disillusionment with anticolonial nationalism, and in response to a wide variety of economic, political, demographic, and technological changes, Buell argues, we have come increasingly to view the world as complexly interconnected.
		For much of the period, the "three world" theory provided economic, political, and cultural models for mapping a world of nation-states.

		Recent developments have made obsolete the division of the globe into three worlds of capitalist, state socialist and underdeveloped countries.
		This book traces the interconnectedness of the 'disorganisation' of capitalism in the industrialised west, the transformation of former state socialist societies, and the divergent fortunes of third world countries.
		It argues that comparative sociology continues to have relevance in the age of globalisation and provides a framework within which these developments can be placed in their proper perspective.
