Why is MWI more Copernican than the Copenhagen interpretation?
You do realize that an “observer” doesn’t have to be conscious, right? The Copenhagen interpretation doesn’t treat humans specially. If anything, I’d say that the Copenhagen interpretation is more Copernican, since it explains the Born probabilities without requiring anthropics.
My comment was not intended to be an endorsement of polymathwannabe’s analysis. I’m not a QM expert and am not qualified to comment on the details of either interpretation.
