Dude, seriously, when I consider a thread to be too pointless an excercise in intellectual masturbation to participate in it, it must be pretty goddamn bad.
Besides, the Everett-DeWitt version of Quantum Theory is for pussies who can't handle the consequences of the Copenhagen Interpretation.
(Obviously, I don't have the mathematical background to understand Quantum Physics on anything but a qualitative/conceptual level, but, as I understand it, the mathematics would allow for either interpretation. The Copenhagen interpretation is less complicated (I believe) and thus should be the interpretation of choice if we use Occam's razor. The only thing many-worlds theory has going for it is that it avoids things like fundamental indeterminacy, which a lot of scvientists would have a hard time accepting.)
