If Many Worlds is correct then there are an astronomically large number,
and possibly an infinitely large number, of worlds where physicists conduct
experiments, some of which are quantum experiments with probabilistic
outcomes.

So there are an astronomically large number and possibly an infinitely
large number of "THIS" worlds.

Alan Grayson decides that tomorrow Alan Grayson will conduct an experiment
to determine if an electron goes left or right. If Many Worlds is correct
then the day after tomorrow one Alan Grayson will remember having seen the
electron go left and one Alan Grayson will remember having seen the
electron go right. Which Alan Grayson lives in "THIS" world.

That is just untrue. When one Alan Grayson has observed 1000 photons there
is another Alan Grayson that agrees with 999 of the observations and
disagrees only about #1000. All the 2^1000 Alan Graysons have made1000
observations, most Alan Graysons saw the electron go left about 500 times
and go right about 500 times, but a few were quite different, one Alan
Grayson out of  2^1000  saw the electron go left 1000 times in a row and
one Alan Grayson out of 2^1000 saw the electron go right 1000 times in a
row.
