Quantum trolley problem

A quantum wave-trolley approaches a plate with a double slit. On the other end of each slit is a crystal that will split the wave-trolley into an entangled pair of wave trolleys with half the energy of the original. You stand next to a lever that operates seven wave-trolley detectors. These detectors are placed on the tracks thet the entangled pairs will go through. Right after the detectors, people are tied down to the track, placed inside a box transparent only to the trolley frequency of the EM spectrum (this means you can't know if they are dead or alive until the box opens). If you activate the detectors, you will force the trolley's wave function to collapse into a single trolley-particle by revealing which slit it went through. This would instantly kill one of the two persons in front of the detectors on one side, but also have a 50% chance of killing a single person on the other end, or a 25% chance of either killing 4, or none, depending the final direction that the particle- trolley goes through. If you do nothing, you might kill everyone or no one, or some in some worlds and some in others. But you don't know which is it, because you haven't figured out whether the correct interpretation is Copenhagen, or Many Worlds or Pilot Wave or any other. There is one last problem: You are a virtue ethicist, and so you are probably unaware of any developments after Aristotle, and you're only vaguely aware that the 20th century happened, because you might have read Macintyre or Anscombe so you have no idea what any of this means or how to approach it PAM What do you do?

Should you wake them up?

You are a trolley operator. Up ahead are five sleep on the trac alert them and ask them to get out of the way, but that would mean that you have to violate their nap. Should you awake them, or respect their nap?

Newcomb's Trolley Paradox

Newcomb's Trolley Paradox 2 A trolley is hurtling down track 1 toward an opaque box. You are standing at a switch which will redirect the trolley onto track 2, where there is a man tied to the tracks inside a transparent glass box. Track 2 then reconnects to track 1 where it leads to the opaque box. You have heard about many other instances of this scenario, set up by an entity known only as 'the Predictor If the Predictor thinks that you will switch the trolley to track two it will leave the opaque box empty, but if it thinks you will leave the switch alone it will put five people on the tracks in the opaque box. WI The Predictor has never predicted incorrectly. If the Predictor predicts that you will choose randomly it will also put the people into the box. The Predictor has already moved on to set up another test and contents of the opaque box are already in place What do you do? Do you two-box or one-box?

I got tied to the top track and someone pulled the lever.

I got tied to the top track and somebody pulled the lever. I was pretty bummed about it. But I think the guys on the bottom track are probably more happy to be rescued than I am sad to die. So, whatever. Total happiness increased.
