I would quibble with this. It is very clear to me that there are two tests
which, in principle could be done, both involve quantum computers and both
would give *empirical* evidence of the multiverse ala Everett. The issue is
technological now, not philosophical. We will all have to await quantum
computers, to see if they can be built with sufficient complexity and then
await the answers from the calculations.
