Dynamical Wave Function Collapse: Could It Have Cosmological Consequences?

Quantum Physics 2007-10-03 v1

Abstract

This talk was in response to the conference injunction to present "one bold but half-baked idea that you have been thinking about recently.. .". After a brief introduction to the ideas and formalism of the CSL theory of dynamical wave function collapse, some possible cosmological effects associated with applying it to the creation of the universe are discussed.
