Origin of Probabilities 2019-04-18
- Speaker : Prof. Andreas Albrecht (UCDAVIS)
- Date : 2019-05-14 16:00 ~ 17:00
- Location : JYS 331-2
- Host : Dr. Yong-Seon Song
This pioneering work ties the origin of probabilities we use (both in scientific analysis and everyday life) to quantum fluctuations. One important conclusion is that in many cases people have been using probabilities incorrectly when applied to multiverse theories.
