Bohmian mechanics v Everett-DeWiit-Wheeler? For Carroll, it probably means they're the same. Indistinguishable. Ok, scratch that off the physics bucket list. I don't get your point, or Carroll's for that matter. I really don't see the interpretations as equivalent. They don't seem remotely in the same ballpark.
