There is 100% probability that you are both. Why are you this one and not the other? Because you are not the other one. The other one wonders why it isn't you.

There is 100% probability that you are both. Why are you this one and not the other? Because you are not the other one. The other one wonders why it isn't you. The tautology should begin to be obvious. The answer is the same answer to why you are not me and I am not you. (The problem is the same across space within a timeline as it is across timelines)
- repsilat 7y agoThis sounds like the most reasonable conclusion until you actually start experimenting. An example taken from another thread: Fire a laser of polarised light at a polarised filter angled at an offset of 30°. Measure the light on the other side of the filter and you'll see it's 75% as bright. Now, you could say "We have worlds splitting independently for each photon that goes through or doesn't, and we're on all of those worlds," but that isn't explanatory -- it doesn't tell us why it looks like three quarters of the photons went through, as we always measure.
