P(Many Worlds)
For this and the following questions, please give your probability estimate for the related propositions, on a scale from 0% (definitely false) to 100% (definitely true). Please give it as a two digit number without a decimal point or percent sign (eg 50 instead of 50% or .5). One exception: if you really mean a percent less than 1% (eg .5%, meaning 1 in 200) please put a percent sign at the end so I know you didn't mean 50% but just write it wrong. Otherwise, leave out the percent sign. You may (and are encouraged to) use decimals for values less than 1 or greater than 99. The values 0 or 100 will be interpreted as epsilon or 100 - epsilon, for your convenience. If you don't know enough about the proposition to have an opinion, please leave the box blank. For this question, please estimate the probability that the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics is more or less correct.
