Thank you for your welcome,

A neat approach!
"You know the many world interpretation of Everett?"
Yes, I've read about it, but as I said before my knowledge of Quantum
Physics is too general.
"You know quantum computing?"
I have some background, but I don't know if there's any way in which it's
related to various interpretations of Q-Physics. I thought the
interpretation wont affect the application.
"I know there are some people working at it in Tehran. What is your opinion
on the everything idea?"
Although I really like it, I don't work seriously in this field, because I
do not have a strong background in physics.
Actually at first my motivation was the consciousness related issues. I was
trying to see if there's enough room in modern physics for mind! and the
effect of conscious observation in the experiment seemed to be a clue.
By reading different interpretations briefly, I found two interpretations
more interesting:
The first one was this many worlds interpretation and the second one was the
interpretation of prof.D.Bohm.
Here's my first question: "Are these interpretations philosophical claims or
scientific ones? is there any way to prove or reject them?"

"Have you an opinion on "mathematicalism"? The idea that physical reality
could emerge from mathematical reality?"
I'd rather say correspondence instead of emergence. I've found out about the
idea recently, and I guess it's better to study a bit more before any ...
(...I've already did that! )

and I have another question:
Throughout discussions, what is the assumption regarding the mind-body
problem? (Emergentism, reductionism, eliminativism, dualism, ...)
