I originally sent this on December 14 2017:
David Deutsch proposed a test of Many Worlds about 30 years ago in his
book "The Ghost In The Atom", but it would be very difficult to
perform. The reason it's so difficult to test is not the Many World's
theory fault, the reason is that the conventional view says that
conscious observers obey different laws of physics, many worlds says
they do not, so to test who's right we need a mind that uses quantum
properties. Quantum Computers have advanced enormously over the last
30 years so I wouldn't be surprised if it or something very much like
it is actually performed in the decade or two.
An intelligent quantum computer shoots photons at a metal plate one at
a time that has 2 small slits in it, and then the photons hit a
photographic plate. Nobody looks at the photographic plate till the
very end of the experiment. The quantum mind has detectors near each
slit so it knows which slit the various electrons went through. After
each photon passes the slits but before they hit the photographic
plate the quantum mind signs a document saying that it has observed
each and every photon and knows which slit each photon went through.
It is very important that the document does not say which slit any
photon went through, it only says that they went through one slit and
one slit only and the mind has knowledge of which one. There is a
signed document to this effect for every photon it shot.
Now the mind uses quantum erasure to completely destroy its memory of
which slit any of the photons went through; the only part remaining is
the document which states that each photon went through one and only
one slit and the mind (at the time) knew which one. Now develop the
photographic plate and look at it. If you see interference bands then
the many world interpretation is correct. If you do not see
interference bands then there are no worlds but this one and the
conventional quantum interpretation is correct.
Or it's proven that a quantum computer is not conscious.

This works because in the Copenhagen interpretation when the results
of a measurement enters the consciousness of an observer the wave
function collapses, in effect all the universes except one disappear
without a trace so you get no interference. In the many worlds model
all the other worlds will converge back into one universe because
information on which slit the various photons went through was the
only thing that made one universe different from another, so when that
was erased they became identical again and merged, but their influence
will still be felt, you'll see indications that the photon went
through slot A only and indications it went through slot B only, and
that's what causes interference.
