I'll bet you Adrian Kent's paper* (did you read it?) is netter than Shut Up And Read Sean Carroll's Book On Many Worlds. * "It gives a clear physical meaning to the paths and to probabilities associated with them. It also suggests a clear and conceptually unproblematic way of justifying from first principles the appearance of quasiclassical trajectories." @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
