Dr. Serafino questioned:
<<Oh I know, I know. MWI is local. But, listen. We say that
QM is indeterministic an non-local (there are different meanings
here: non-separability or action-at-a-distance). And the MWI is
(supposed to be) equivalent to the standard (or orthodox, in
Wigner's terms) interpretation of QM. Does not it mean that the
MWI hides non-locality (and sometimes also indeterminism)
in some place? Hint: how does D.D. explain the interference in
the double-slit? What exactly are those shadow photons? And, as
David Mermin once asked, *where* are all those worlds?.
I'll try to say some more as soon as possible.

This is, of course, hand-waving by myself; but the good doctor's queries
suggest some connection to Australian Physicist, Michael Foot, concerning
'mirror matter.' This would be particles and suns, that would be based on a
'right-handed' structure, as opposed to the natural left-handed structure of
matter and anti-matter.

Deutsches work is important in the very, very, long-term; but is hard to
grasp to be emotionally important to us today. If there are super-universes
hiding out in Randell-Sundersham space, how might we ever interact with it?
