Given a continuous space (analogous to the infinity of real numbers) not even infinite time would guarantee a precise, exact, copy of any particular configuration. For any configuration A one cou...
I think a particular assumption is implicitly being made here that random fluctuations in a vacuum or nothing just exist without being affected by something that collapses their wave function of ...
Well, I look at my own memories and thought processes and find that there is much to be desired in terms of continuity, coherence, and consistency. And then I look at my fellow beings and evaluat...
@ Rick I think your suggestion would be obvious given the information provided in the blog here. I don't think our brains can be Boltzmann Brains, because if they where we would always be aware o...
I'd also like to suggest that a boltzmann brain with a disordered and incoherent set of memories is much more likely than one with ordered memories. Somewhat less likely would be semi-ordered mem...
I think there could be more sense out of all this madness. I don't think the Higgs Field can be determined by complete chaos. Say if you where to assume for a moment that time symmetry cannot be ...
Entropy appears to be the one thing that is never questioned, the constant in these scenarios. Why not introduce a bit more chaos by suggesting that in some parts of the multiverse, entropy is re...
Say, Prof. Carroll, somebody over on the "Not Even Wrong" blog sure doesn't like your entry on Boltzmann brains. (And he can't even spell!) Check the quote below: "A sign of the times is to see a...
