This is like asking how many angels there are on the
head of a pin. The question is meaningless because
there are no angels on the heads of pins.
If these copies were created via MWI then they do not,
in the first place, have identical experiences. This
is the point I've been trying to make. And there is no
other possible means of constructing them fast enough
to even come close to having the same experiences.
This thread started when I theorized about a MWI based
bifurcation chamber in the duck me thread. Lee opened
this thread to reply to my message, then promptly
tried to change the rules by inventing a different
kind of chamber from the one I had in mind, with no
explanation for the mechanism by which it would work.
He did so apparently because he realized that my MWI
based chamber does not support his theory.
If you don't harness the mechanism of MWI for creating
copies then how do you create 1000 copies in less than
a unit of planck time such that they all have the same
experience? It takes, at minimum, one unit of planck
time to assemble even one electron in place! And then
once the 1000 are constructed they will each be
experiencing a slightly different reality due to their
different spatial coordinates.
