Hi Günther,
Hi Bruno,
thanks for your interesting answer, I have some questions though.

what nonzero probability implies, you'd have a hard time showing that
anything non-contradictory at all has a nonzero probability of being true.
Er, I typed too quickly. I mean you'd have a hard time of showing that
anything non-contradictory has zero probability. Anything that isn't
I agree with Anna. In addition, it all depends on where you define the
boundary of the self. Just the brain? Brain + body? Brain + body +
immediate surrounding (prescription glasses being worn, automobile being
driven, binoculars or computer being used) ? Brain + body + Whole

Hi Brent,
But does not MWI imply that if we could somehow erase all (retrivable!)
records of a measurement, that we would - in effect - be culling that
branch from the Tree?

the measurement was just the unrecorded IR radiation from buckyballs.
Buckyballs which were sufficiently cold showed the 2-slit interference
In quantum eraser experiments the erasure is done by making the measured

ambiguous, e.g. by making a different measurement which does not commute with
the one to be erased. In terms of MWI this has the effect or recohering (or
more accurately, not decohering) the branches rather than
