Making MWI universes with more white light in them
whenever Rb decays to Kr, or whenever Cs turns to Xe a new element is formed with a white light discharge spectrum, everytime there is a new element atom a new MWI (many worlds interpretation of physics) universe that spontaneously produces more white light | |
I ordered some uranium glass rods and rubidium chloride off ebay. I think that putting the Rb next to the uranium will cause some amount of the Rb to be irradiated and decay into Kr
Of course that only happens sometimes when a neutron from uranium attaches to an RB, the Rb becomes unstable and then
emits a proton. Since it only happens sometimes, the MWI version of a universe that produces the krypton is the one with the new Kr atom, and at that universe sometimes the Kr will emit a photon or do another quantum thing just as it exists with a group white light producing effect.
If the uranium glass rods only produce a few billion or trillion Kr atoms (likely more), and each Kr atom lasts more than 11 billion years, and each second there are a million light emissions then this is some really vast number of branch universes with more white light in them.
So it is an MWI machine to produce white light

I suppose an even more effective way to make MWI universes with more white light in them would just be to get an Xe or Kr spectrum tube off eBay and turn it on. There are picosecond lasers so it seems like there would be a moment of light emission each picosecond, possibly from the majority of atoms in the tube. When you order one it is likely they make a new one, so the amount of Xe or Kr spectrum emitted goes up. |

The thing is though is that comparing 11 billion years of light emission from each new krypton or Xenon atom, compared with just activating existing kypton or xenon atoms is different. Any ideas on which emits more photons? |
|
| |
I hear uranium glass glows green if put under a
blacklight (uv-a light). |
|
| |
The number of photons emitted depends on the
temperature. For example, in a xenon arc light bulb,
the xenon gas is made very hot by an electric spark
arcing through the gas. The xenon glows white-hot,
~6000K, and makes a lot of light. |
|
| |
According to the MWI, is there a universe that is just
full of xenon light bulbs? |
|
| |
I don't know if there's anything I can do to change
how much light there is in other universes. The MWI
seems to say that all universes exist, and my
choices just (maybe) determine which universe I live
in. No
matter what I do, all of the other universes are the
same? |
|
| |
I think the definition of "exist" needs a bit of work. |
|
| |
Yes, but why? I feel it's quite fun to have more mystery. |
|
| |
//more mystery// Isn't that what religion is for? |
|
| |
Hey, can somebody turn that light out? I'm trying to sleep
here. |
|
| |
I only had to read the first two words of the title to know whose idea this was. |
|
| |
What's the point, though? |

Why do you want to do that? |

Actually, let's break it down further: |
