Fragamus,
That depends on definitions! What counts as a history, and "when" do
we count them? In order for the number of histories to be "merely a
fantastically large and growing number", we need to be inside of time
when we count the number of histories-- otherwise it could not be
growing. Personally I would prefer to count the *eventual* number of
histories, rather than the number of histories at any given moment.
This number will be infinite, but *which* infinity? The answer gives
us some information. (I don't know if you are familiar with the
different infinities, but there *are* smaller and larger infinities.)
For example, if all universes end in finite time the number of
histories may be smaller than if there are some that go on forever.
