Hi Eliezer,
I personally like many worlds because it helps me count on quantum immortality in case I get hit in the head by a falling 2x4 before the singularity comes. However, I was disturbed when I read about the Ashfar experiment, as it seems to disprove many worlds.. I couldn't find anything on your blog about it.. What do you think about it?
After a bit of searching, I think peteshnick is talking about the Afshar experiment. The wikipedia article is fascinating, but I don't really understand the issue. It only mentions many-worlds briefly, but includes a link to the creator of another interpretation saying that the experiment exposes a failure of both MWI and Copenhagen to match the math.
