Carroll claims, without any apparent argument, that decaying atoms in
our bodies create MW branches. Do you have any idea how that can be
justified?
Carroll would say it's Schroedinger's equation and nothing else. That's
one thing that bothers me about it. Whenever MWI advocates talk about
it they use examples in which the quantum level event is magnified via
something like a detector and then they argue it created another world.
But what doesn't create another world? Was the magnification necessary
or was it just for the sake of an example? I tend to think it's
necessary; that there are quantum level events that don't get magnified
and are just statisitically washed out...but then that raises the
question "How much magnification?"

He also writes decoherence formulas for the cat and environment as
linear sums. What could these states have to do with MW branches?
Maybe Clark could also respond to these questions. AG
