*Moreover, MWI DOES make additional assumptions, as its name indicates, based on the assumption that all possible measurements MUST be measured, in this case in other worlds. I reject this hypothesis. What I do concede is that in the case of the Multiverse of String Theory, if time is infinite and the possible universes finite -- 10^500 -- all possible universes will be, or have been, realized.
