And Many Worlds explains how in the world this strange but true fact can possibly be true by saying the unmeasured photon is NOT in one and only one polarization angle but in every conceivable angle, and there is a polarizer for every conceivable rotational setting, and there are 2 Alan Graysons for every polarizer, one Alan Grayson observes the photon passing through the polarizer and the other Alan Grayson observes the photon being absorbed by the polarizer. * *No, I don't believe in multiple copies of myself and these other worlds. Do these other Graysons have the same memory as I do, or no memories at all? This model, MMI, is a desperate attempt to make sense of QM.
