On the contrary, if you assume Schrodinger's
​ ​
Wave Equation means what it says then it does indeed exist forever, the
mathematics say nothing about it collapsing. MWI unquestionably makes the
fewest assumptions, everybody assumes the
Schrodinger
​ ​
Wave Equation (or the equivalent Heisenberg Matrices) is correct but in
addition
​ ​
Copenhagen assumes the act of observation does mysterious things
​ ​
even
​ ​
though it can't say exactly
​ ​
(or even approximately)
​ ​
what a measurement is.
​ ​
And
Pilot Wave assumes a thing that can not be directly measured somehow guides
things around almost like the finger of God.
​ ​
And
​ ​
Transactional assumes the future can
​change​
 the past.
​ ​
But MWI assumes none of that, all MWI assumes is
​ ​
Schrodinger's
​ ​
Wave Equation and Heisenberg Matrices
​ ​
mean what they say
​ ​
the
​y​
​ ​
mean. That's it. Paul Davies
​ ​
describes
​ ​
MWI as being "cheap on assumptions, but
​ ​
expensive on universes".

​Tell me what "free will" means and I'll tell you if I agree.​
