[Serious] Is the Past Real?

[bennyboy]

no, it is much better to dismiss what physics says about physics in favor of folksy put downs  because, oh, untutored intuition is so much more reliable and making common cause with anti-intellectual morons afford so much more promise as a path forward.

Yes, actually.  It IS better to dismiss what people-who-can't-know make up on the basis of so-called expertise, particularly in the scientific realm.

And nobody said to dismiss them in favor of "folksy put downs" or "anti-intellectual morons," or that there was a better path forward.

You show me how MWI is testable, or can be shown to have any effect on physical measurements or experimental apparatus in the real universe (i.e. the one we can observe, i.e. the object of all science), then I'll be more than happy to consider MWI a scientific hypothesis. Until then, it's just Scientist Mythology.
