I know someone who use to work there (don't know if he still is) at the Steward Observatory.
That telescope if I remember correctly is the 30" telescope there at Kitt Peak.
They at the Vatican Observatory Research just must read all those papers or else looked them all up, perhaps.
It's almost like the rest, kind of peaceful and puts someone to sleep almost. (I guess, depending on how much energy one has.)
Kind of like the late Dr. Carl Sagan to me, about life in the Universe or so.
Well, I was just suprised that it was mentioned there at the Wiki in that article.
If any other scientists read it even.(?)
:oops:
Some more recent things I have not looked at fully.
Hawking's Flexible Universe (?)
Born rule -- by Max Born back in 1926 or so.
arxiv paper about time traveling, just looking at it.

Born rule:

I guess in reverse order, because the Flexible Universe contains every Past History or something like that.
Beyond me at this point.
Also mentioning the double slit experiment in another article stated that it does not necessarily prove anything about multiple universes or states of the photon, just that when you (to me) do it correctly, only a single point is made on the photographic plate it lands on.

According to Born rule the bell rang 70% of the time, but the other 30% of you could not find the 70% of you that heard the bell, and decided that you do not exist, and since the bell did not ring, that you could not ever find the other 70% of you that should have existed. This is probably quantum theory.

Linde was mentioned in a Private Communication in that paper about Multiverses.
I think it must be this guy at Stanford. Here is something from him then and all of that stuff, and philosophical implications as indicated by the link there on his page.

I think you need Microsoft Word for the SpirQuest.doc page. Although it shows in the browser. ??
Maybe it was just operating my computer here at the time. Could be. (several separate versions of Word opened up, when I went to copy the links up above.) I ended up with a multiverse of Microsoft Word programs opened up. ??
