(Help) Need Relationship Advice

[Maxwell511]

So a bit of back story. Myself and my girlfriend have been going out for 9 years now. We are at that age when children are an issue and we had a long talk about that. We both agreed on the name of our future daughter and son. However....

We were talking later and she insisted that we bring up our children with the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. I obviously said no..... and then we got into a big fight. There is no way, that I, as a Many Worlds man is going to raise my kids with the Copenhagen Interpretation.

So now I am kicked out of the apartment.

What should I do? I was thinking to go to the local university and find a physicist. Maybe they could help reconcile our differences. I truly love her and I am confused why this would break us apart.

What should I do?

[Edit: We both agree on the mathematical structure of QM, should I focus on that?]

 

[Gracchus]

Lie. Pretend. Fake it. That is absolutely necessary if you want to get along with women.

Or: Send her a dead cat.

 

[SithDoughnut]

Break up, before you cause yourself more harm. My physics textbook clearly states that a relationship with a person who holds a different QM interpretation is a sin.

 

[Tielec]

Unfortunately a many worlds outlook on life doesn't explain;
1) Why humans feel love
2) Objective morality
3) Pineapples
4) Construct validity invariance after repeated cognitive ability tests

It would be unfair on a child to bring them up in such a fractured household. Imagine the awkward questions after your weekly physics sermons, when the cheif physicist made decrees about many worlds dogma! The child wouldn't know what they must believe to make you love them.

Furthermore think of the scandal, we fought a long hard war to keep those copenhagenists down, they stand for everything we hate, plus I heard them call your mum a dork.

Fie, you irresponsible scallywag, find a good many worlds girl and don't deal with those damned dirty copenhagenists.

I really don't know if you can do anything about it, man. It's all on your woman, being a Copenhagen person. According to Heisenberg 2:14, a Copenhagist is not allowed to "make a measurement that unequally yolks them to an unbeliever."

But don't worry. If it doesn't work out for you, at least it'll work out for a different-world's version of you. But it still hurts, I know.

Good advice. But how do I make sure the cat is dead when she observes it?

If she opens the box and its alive, I will look sort of stupid.

Should I send two cats in the post and open mine before her?

 

[Nostromo]

I can see this may be a potential barrier between you, but I wouldn't want to interfere.

Drop the cat(s), and note whether you observe the characteristic "dead cat bounce".

There is always the probability I could tunnel through the barrier (if it is of a given finite potential)? Into her heart again. Right?

It's fun to parody Truth, isn't it?

What are you talking about? This thread is about relationship advice.

Why are you mocking the seriousness of this poor man's predicament?

How would they be able to raise children when his wife is sure that only one possibility can result from any of their specific decisions when collapsing a function whereas he believes that every outcome occurs. The fate of their children and their possible multiverse alternates is at stake here!

Dude, the guy comes here looking for relationship advice and you want to make fun of him? Harsh.

Shut up and calculate!

Its all pointless when its obvious Time Cube describes everying about everything, it says so on its website so how can it not be true?

SPECIALLY if it contradicts the Bible.

Well, God didn't say it. And he certainly didn't say anything about the truth of the Time Cube and the hypnotoad. Neither of which are of any help to the poor OP. Do you have any words of support for him and his wife?
