"Without invoking" doesn't mean "denying".
It does if you believe in applying Occam's Razor. AG
True. But I'm still waiting for pt to quote this expert
saying he explains quantum phenomena without MW. He keeps
implying it's Zurek, but I just read Zurek's paper on
quantum Darwinism again and ISTM Zurek is assuming MWI
throughout. QD is just his solution to the basis problem.

Zurek is not on a book tour, nor does he tweet, but after the
rollout of Carroll's book, one can only conclude:
* Many Worlds is religion, not science.*
@philipthrift
Right. You'll notice how my comment that the MWI is tantamount to
"hubris on steroids" was never responded to. Hopefully, he'll be
denied tenure, and his book and personage can go into the dustbin
of history, where it belongs. AG
I can't believe (well, I guess I can believe) the number of physicist
who think MWI is a valuable contribution to science. If you tell them
otherwise they they you that you don't understand physics. Many Worlds
is "in the math" (as Sean Carroll claims) so it must be true.
They engage in magical thinking, but think they are doing science.
Amazing.
Sounds like the evangelicals of one religion attacking another.
