Does MWI suggest that everything that can occur does occur? The following article suggests not: http://scienceblogs.com/pontiff/2008/11/everything_and_nothing.php I guess it is still possible that the no cul-de-sac conjecture is correct even though some ways of avoiding death are impossible. -- Stathis Papaioannou --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
