Thank you for this clarification -- for me it addresses a good part of the crank/fringe/sci-fi aspect > While we're here, we can clear up the misconception about "branching" — there is no branching in many-worlds, just the coherent evolution of the universal wave function. The many worlds are projections out of that wave function.
