Maybe enlighten the world: What specifically in the book makes Many Worlds compelling vs. the one-world alternatives? And if there is nothing in the Many Worlds approach that is really better than a one-world approach, why multiply worlds beyond necessity? And where does all the extra matter come from to keep branching off new worlds again and again? Seems like there should be some simply stated answers to these questions. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
