Does that mean that my smoking/exploding MOSFETs have narrowly survived their "both sides of the half-bridge on" event in some parallel universe? How about my dog who got runned over (sic) when I was 12? Is he happily chasing various critters somewhere? Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

Incredible as it may seem, the majority of physicists currently working in this field now believe this to be the case! And we're talking world-class theoreticians here, not just the kooks who post to alt.sci.theories. =20 For further info, try Googling for the following: Many Worlds theory Max Tegel Quantum suicide experiment Quantum Theory of Imortality David Deutsche Schroedinger's Cat Are yes, the multiverse people.
