Curious though, how does this relate to the JWST?

It was implied that we would see another Earth. But that is a science fiction trope.

Right, I’m not sure whether this refers to finding another earth-like planet with JWST (interesting and plausible though not related to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum), or seeing another version of the Earth with JWST that followed a different path in possible many-worlds quantum outcomes (seemingly impossible!).
