If the alternate universes implied by the mainstream MWI (as opposed to variants like consistent histories) are actual in some sense, with even the slightest chance of communication between universes, then why have we not seen solid evidence of such communication? Amongst the universes, many

Let's consider Tim May's question, "why have we not seen solid evidence of such communication," and Russell Standish's statement, "It could just mean that communication between the "universes" is impossible." Now lets list the relevant constants andsome interpretationsof quantum theory as they
