In the MWI branch world Jog where Sean is jogging and in the branch world Nap where Sean is napping, the jogging-Sean particles in Jog and the napping-Sean particles in Nap are in superposition. Then there is another branching of Jog where Sean is hit by a car Jog-HitByCar and one where he isn't Jog-NotHitByCar. Particles in superpositions: Nap, Jog, Jog-HitByCar, Jog-NotHitByCar, ... This seems like it should make no sense. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
