50 Years of the Multiverse Interpretation
chinmay7 writes "There is an excellent selection of articles (and quite a few related scientific papers) in a special edition of Nature magazine on interpretations of the multiverse theory. 'Fifty years ago this month Hugh Everett III published his paper proposing a "relative-state formulation of quantum mechanics" — the idea subsequently described as the 'many worlds' or 'multiverse' interpretation. Its impact on science and culture continues. In celebration, a science fiction special edition of Nature on 5 July 2007 explores the symbiosis of science and sf, as exemplified by Everett's hypothesis, its birth, evolution, champions and opponents, in biology, physics, literature and beyond.'

Except that I've never had the probable state of my keys being in the kitchen destructively interfere with the probable state of my keys being left in my bedroom to make my keys more likely to be on the key ring... :-)
Just rig up your computer to kill you instantaneously if you don't get access. Then, you'll never experience the problem of not having access.
