question, leaving behind the interpretation of the experiment
concentrating only on its results, if it was actually
performed as described do you think interference bands would
be on that photographic plate or would there be no such
bands? I would bet money the bands would be there on that
plate even though there's no longer any which way information
remaining. So, what would you put your money on, bands or no
bands?

So an intelligent and presumably consciousbeingonce existed that knew
which slot all the electrons went through, but those interference
bands still showed up anyway. Don't you find that a little strange?
If Many Worlds is wrong and that being didn't exist in another world,
then where did it exist?
It, or rather it's knowledge, existed in the past, before being erased.
