Wow. You're proposeing that quantum theory may be wrong. But if you're
proposing using an infinity of universes instead of a smooth single one - a
consquence of quantum theory! - then that bypasses the issue. But why don't
we go to the experts on consciousness, e.g. Dennett, rather than try to
reinvent the wheel here?
