But one thing's for sure, there is no way of construing it so that the energy in each particular universe is conserved, for the simple reason that the whole system starts out the same on each run of the experiment (before the non-sharp state is created), and ends up different". --David Deutsch

Well, I hope somebody knows what that particular arrangement of words 
means, because I have no clue, apart from that he seems to be saying 
that conservation of energy is not true (??). Or is true, but only 
across many universes, or all universes. But it can't be, if universes 
are constantly being created.
Perhaps I should stop trying to think about it.
