On first blush, it would seem to be irrelevant to the fact that there
are possible histories in which the second law is not found to hold.
All the atom and rifle apparatus does is eliminate the living subject
in those branches where the decay occurs, leaving the subject alive in
only the unlikely

Unfortunately, Bruno, I don't see the connection between this film and

Hi, I am new to this list.
I am glad to see that there are others interested in Tegmark's ideas.
I have been aware of his ideas since October but have largely agreed
with them since prior to that. by that I mean that I had reasoned to
similar conclusions prior to leaning that they had been so
