As for the interpretation, if the interference bands are there it would be good for the MWI but it wouldn’t prove it is correct, but if the interference bands are not there then the MWI is definitely wrong. Unlike mathematics in physics you can't prove that any of its laws are true, but you can show that some ideas are less wrong than others. *> Deutsch imposes what is in effect a local hidden variable into MWI* Local?

I suspect nothing of this sort will happen.* I strongly suspect that 25 years from now we will know which one of you is correct, perhaps less.
