Sam Harris: 长期以来,量子力学的解释存在争议,许多物理学家满足于将其视为一种计算工具,而忽略了它对现实的深刻含义。这种实用主义的态度导致了对量子力学多种不协调的解释,使得我们难以理解量子力学所描绘的真实图景。我希望能够更深入地探讨量子力学的多世界解释,并理解它对我们理解现实的意义。 David Deutsch: 我认为将多世界解释仅仅视为一种“解释”是错误的。它实际上是对量子理论最直接的理解。量子理论告诉我们,现实是由无数个宇宙组成的多元宇宙。其他的解释,比如“观察导致坍缩”,引入了不必要的复杂性,并且无法解释在观察之前发生了什么。我坚持认为,我们应该认真对待量子理论对现实的描述,而不是将其仅仅视为一种计算工具。我坚信多世界理论是目前对量子力学最合理的解释。
