According to the account, probabilities are objective chances of centered propositions. As I show, the account solves a number of problems concerning the role of probability in the Everett interpretation. It also challenges an implicit assumption, concerning the aim and scope of fundamental physical theories, that is made throughout the philosophy of physics literature.</p><p>	 </p><p style="margin: 0in;">	<span style="background:white"><span><span><span style="color:#1e1e1e">• The Foundations of Physics @Harvard series is co-sponsored by the Department of Philosophy<br>• This is a free Zoom event (no registration fee)<br>• The meeting ID and password will be shared with those who register<br>• Each talk will be 1 hour, followed by a 5-minute break and then 55 minutes for questions<br>• You can find more events in this series on the <a href="https://harvardfop.jacobbarandes.com/20220823am" style="cursor:pointer"><span style="color:#215990">Foundations of Physics @Harvard website</span></a><br>• You can visit the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPRe-yID_EaQwvCZM7hU9Hw/videos" style="cursor:pointer" target="_blank"><span style="color:#215990">YouTube channel here</span></a></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in;">	 </p><p style="margin: 0in; text-align: start; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">	<span style="background:white"><span style="font-variant-ligatures:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="orphans:2"><span style="widows:2"><span style="text-decoration-thickness:initial"><span style="text-decoration-style:initial"><span style="text-decoration-color:initial"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span><span><span style="color:#1e1e1e">Questions or comments: <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.jacobbarandes.com/&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AOvVaw0cf7ryDjodlbIKdDnfECN1" style="cursor:pointer" target="_blank"><span style="color:#215990">Jacob Barandes</span></a>, &lt;lastname&gt;(at)g.harvard.edu (organizer)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
