Not anger exactly, Squeezer. More a sense that there is a mystic, anagogic element in such Alternative Universes or Multiversal [or whatever] suggestions and perceptions that, it seems to me, ill becomes what should be the aim of detached and objective scientific observation; far too redolent, IMO, of the religious impulse, as if Hawking, Everett, and all these bozos feel, and are endeavouring to satisfy, the need of some sort of experience "beyond", which in their cases conventional "religion" will not meet.

Still: I did not intend to sound aggressive or dogmatic, exactly; more dubious and interrogative.

But I'm just an English graduate from 60 years ago, and have obviously never aspired to any Prize for Physics, not even one delivered by the village postman with the morning's steam mail. What, indeed, do I know, of quanta and such concepts!?
