Hmm, after communicating with you for a while I have reached the following conclusion: you sir are an ass. Have you been speaking with my wife lately? LOL. Can't deny that, but here's what I wrote and your response: * AG >For string theory, the multiverse universes could have radically different fundamental parameters; e.g., Coulomb's law with force a function of 1/ r^3, and/or no gravity, and/or whatever. In MWI, all alleged universes have the SAME laws, * JC> No, MMI alleges that everything that can happen does happen, in a universe with 4 spacial dimension Coulombs law would have a function of 1/ r^3 , If string theory is right about such a universe not violating the laws of logic then that universe can happen. and if that universe can happen then MWI says it does happen. And such a universe would exist in the Eternal Inflation multiverse too. * But that's NOT what MMI alleges. That's essentially what Tegmark claims, but the Many Worlds of MWI have the SAME defining parameters as our universe since OUR universe is claimed to be reproduced EXACTLY, except for the measurements realized in different universes when a quantum experiment is performed in OUR universe. Of course, if we lived in a universe with DIFFERENT defining parameters, I suppose MWI would claim copies of those would be identical, but this is my first encounter with the EXPANDED, TEGMARKIAN-LIKE claim that the MWI ALSO claims all possible universes must exist. AG**In fact, when you think about it, the possible universes claimed by MWI is HUGELY GREATER than the number claimed by string theory EVEN IF OUR UNIVERSE IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE UNIVERSE -- not a mere 10^500 -- since there's no limit on how many universes metastasize when Joe the Plumber enters a casino (or the lab in an electron double slit experiment) and pulls the slot machine only one time. AG*
The string theory number is the number of possible different physics. Each different physics gives rise to a branching sequence of MWI.
