Backward causality is one explanation for these very odd results but Many Worlds doesn't need it and Hugh Everett thought his idea was a little less bizarre than backward causality, and so do I. One thing is certain, whatever the truth turns out to be it's going to be STRANGE. John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
