Many Worlds Faces A Probability Problem
Many-worlds struggles to recover quantum probabilities: if a measurement with a 25%/75% predicted split yields both outcomes 100% of the time across branches, it is unclear what the numbers 25 and 75 mean; simple branch-counting fails (proponents reject it because it gives the wrong numbers), so they must supply some other account connecting branch structure to probability.

“the idea that all you're doing is branch counting is something that all of them reject because everybody agrees it doesn't work it doesn't give you the right numbers”
