I thought there might be a criteria for perhaps a personal falsification of MWI for anyone wanting to be in that space. Isn't the fact photosynthesis occurs on a vast scale in terms of these events, and it would seem always involves the most efficient path. Doesn't that require a large number of universes never to get that path Some perhaps get the 2nd most efficient and so on? That sounds like grounds for serious question mark over MWI. Or do I have this wrong? In regard what you said you'd need to know more about. Well....if it's an opportunity to resolve a huge matter in your worldview it might be worth your while. Just for entertainment, the Popperians on FoR ran multiyear rackets involving apparently giving reasonable responses to basically knock down science wiped large sections of their worldview off the table. They say what they'd need to know more about. And make a long list. And of course no one was going to bother doing that work for them. So the same things would come around and get the same responses. For years. It would be hard to see a good theory that didn't involve dishonest and insincere behaviour around that. It was an entertaining racket on many occasions, for me, I have to admit. NOT suggesting a parallel here. But you can see the issues. Would it settle something important for you? If so, is there a case to find out what you need to know. I don't know the answer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
