F.Tipler: nonlocality as evidence for multiverse cosmology(mwi)

Featured Replies

Hello All,

Recently I came across F.Tipler' paper(who is famous MWI supporter) arguing that non locality can be used as the evidence for the multiverse.

Here is the abstract:

"I show that observations of quantum nonlocaltiy can be interpreted as purely local phenomena,
provided one assumes that the cosmos is a multiverse. Conversely, the observation of quantum
nonlocality can be interpreted as observation evidence for a multiverse cosmology, just as observation
of the setting of the Sun can be interpreted as evidence for the Earth's rotation."

 

and here is the paper:

I am personally not fan of MWI,therefore the question is if it is possible to interpret the same data in other/different ways.

Thoughts?
