The only reason for sci-phi people NOT to discuss either MWI, and or, eternal inflation universes, is because dear lads, they are all part of an exponentiating process. To be clear, there's always something that is triggering more and more of these. Dead ones, live ones, empty ones, super-hot ones, cold ones, ones that seem to be exact clones, some wildly different, some only slightly different ones that have us arguing as usual in these. It's physics and the math behind it, yeah, but it's almost science fiction. Now, I will intrude my values on this convo, then get the hell out! Unless, Argh the Neanderthal uses some portal to travel from his earth, where Denisovans or Neanderthal rules the roost, to ours. It's pretty much discussing who can beat up whom? Jorel from the Year 85000, where he spent 15000 years in the center of the sun, thus acquiring god-level powers,' or Dr. Strange, Sourcer and pizza, Supreme?

There is very little point in talking about the Multiverse's total mass/energy because, as I've said many times, in General Relativity the conservation of energy is not even well defined at the largest cosmic perspective, however some seem to have a fetish about that particular law and want to preserve it at all cost. So even if cosmologists find a way to make it useful at the cosmic level (it is and always has been useful at the local level) Many Worlds can accommodate it, but at least at the present time Many Worlds doesn't have much of a use for the conservation of energy, nor does any the other theory that concerns fundamental cosmology.
