“If you took one world and extrapolated backward, you’d get many pasts. If you take the many worlds and extrapolate backward, all but one of the resulting pasts will cancel out! Quantum mechanics is time-symmetric.”
My immediate thought when reading the above: when extrapolating forward do we get cancelation as well? Born probabilities?
This may be nitpicky but I found an errata in the references. [3] I believe should be 1993 instead of 1995.
That said, there are 3 broken links for me - [4], [6] and [7] - and the non-broken links don’t seem to currently be providing full text access. So, here’s an updated references table, with links to full text access in each except for the book in [3] which has an amazon link instead:
