>> mystical nonsense such as the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics > It's not mystical nonsense, it's a logical consequence of the mathematics of quantum mechanics you're both wrong. What the many-worlds interpretation is, is philosophy. It's thinking about what could be that would be explanatory, in the absence of being able to test it; just as atomic theory was philosophy before it was experimentally shown... and it's still philosophy to think about what has actually been shown, since it was not long after it was "shown" that indivisible atoms became divisible into fundamental particles, that they in turn turned out not to be fundamental either.
