Many Worlds is *antimaterialist * - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimaterialism - to the core: There is a quantum chip in a computer that randomly produces a 0 or 1. The computer is hooked to a small guillotine with an electrical switch hooked to the computer. Under the blade is an apple. If a 0 is produced ("world" A) , no signal is sent, but if 1 is produced, then the blade chops the apple into 2 pieces ("world" B). How much apple is there in A and B combined? If enough for two apples, the how did the extra matter come from? If there is the same amount of matter in A and B combined as A and A alone, then is the 2 halves of the apple in B lying on the table also one whole apple too? @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
