Letter: Thinking about how the classical world emerges

Published 7 May 2025

From John Bell, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, UK

Your article about quantum Darwinism delved into a new attempt to explain how a classical reality common to us all emerges from the quantum realm. It seems to me that our subjective experience of living in this universe can give us great insight(12 April, p 8).

It appears self-evident that the future is unknown and the past is known. As many perspectives interact, future possibilities are constrained more and more, so the classical world we all experience in the here and now emerges as a shared one.
