Not at all. Linearitu of QM makes them untouchable, but we have still
to accept their physical existence because they do interfere
statistically. If not you need a theory like Bohm, with the known
difficulties which are insuperable in the relativistic domain, or use
the collapse of the wave, which leads to a dualism, a god playing
dice, action at distance, fuzzy notion of observers, etc.
Then with computationalism, we have the many-dreams anyway, already in
arithmetic, which is already assumed by the physicist.
Then also, are you sure you can touch more easily one universe? Again,
that leads to an absurd (non Turing emulable) role of matter in
psychology.
I love the topic, but it's kind of never never land.
This is perhaps due to Aristotelian prejudice. You seem to believe in
(at least one) universe playing a fundamental role ..
Ya got wormholes, I'm interested.
... or perhaps you are just not interested in fundamental question.
The whole point is that this question (the number of universe) is
amenable to empirical refutation. With computationalism, to put it
bluntly: there are zero universe, only a reality emerging from the
first person indeterminacy of the distributed subject in infinitely
may computations, constrained by the theoretical computer science
constraints imposed on self-observation.
