Isn't there some nonlocality also in MWI?
I mean, the very concept of 'split'
is a sort of Godiva supreme chocolate
ice-cream of nonlocality.
Also Lev Vaidman [1] seems to think so.
"The MWI exhibits some kind of nonlocality:
"world" is a nonlocal concept, but it avoids
action at a distance and, therefore, it is not
in conflict with the relativistic quantum mechanics;
see discussions of nonlocality in Vaidman (1994),
Tipler (2000), Bacciagaluppi (2002), and Hemmo and
Pitowsky (2001). Although the issues of (non)locality
are most transparent in the Schroedinger
representation, an additional insight can be gained
through recent analysis in the framework of the
Heisenberg representation, see Deutsch and Hayden
(2000), Rubin (2001), and Deutsch (2001). The most
celebrated example of nonlocality was given by Bell
(1964) in the context of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen
argument. However, in the framework of the MWI, Bell's
argument cannot get off the ground because it requires
a predetermined single outcome of a quantum experiment."
How to solve this problem, at least from a very abstract
point of view? See [2] :-)
