"In fact the physicists have no good point of view. Somebody mumbled something about a many-world picture, and that many-world picture says that the wave function Ď is what's real, and damn the torpedos if there are so many variables, NR. All these different worlds and every arrangement of configurations are all there just like our arrangement of configurations, we just happen to be sitting in this one. It's possible, but I'm not very happy with it."
