The "Many Worlds"-interpretation of reality seems to have the nice property
that "messages from the future" is not such a counter-intuitive
notion in that model as in more traditional ones. If we receive such a
message, we simply do not know which one of the possible futures sent it !
Since all possible events occur in parallel the violation of "causality"
caused by such a message would not be such a big deal.
Has anyone got any pointers to some understandable text about the model
for amateur philosophers-physicists like myself ?
