It was "contemptuous" of the information on decoherence, which is what popped up, when I clicked on the link. In particular the Julian Barbouresque "timelessness" prattle, "there are no particles", "there are no quantum jumps", etc. which seems far outside the definition of "decoherence". When I see such bold statements without explanation, I laugh. It doesn't really make wanna look further. But that was just an observer moment in the timeless space of Platonia. It wasn't even the same me that's typing this reply, which isn't the same me that began it, which isn't the same me that'll type...

That's a rather contemptous evaluation of a website that reports on the work of some very good physicist, e.g. Zeh, Joos, Kim, and Tegmark. Do you have any substantive comment? Did you read any of the papers?

"See http://decoherence.de "? It was good for a laugh, not much else.
