> if at every moment you literally have an infinite amount of worlds branching off
As I said in my reply to Natanael_L, I was given to understood that the idea of worlds branching off was a misapprehension of the many-worlds interpretation. But I'm prepared to be corrected.
But if at every moment you literally have an infinite amount of worlds branching off, then that's vastly bigger than one world in which interactions can be nonlocal. It violates everything from Occam's Razor to practicality.
The question of why time is non reversible can be answered by saying that entropy of a system grows with time, which is a consequence of simple statistics. But with many-worlds you have branching in the forward time direction? Can you explain anything about it?
