As I've said before, the experimental fact that Bell's Inequality is violated proves that REALISTIC local hidden variables cannot exist in a DETERMINISTIC universe.

So I don't think "No!" is an appropriate response. AG* *John K Clark* *Generally speaking, the core error of the MWI is the false claim that it's based solely on S's equation. But that equation is based on the frequentist approach to probability. No where does it assert or imply that all outcomes MUST exist, and thus the existence of Many Worlds.
