People keep saying the many-worlds interpretation is untestable. Nothing could be farther from the truth! It's just a little bit expensive and ethically problematic.
See, you start with a bomb big enough to blow up the world.
Then you roll a die. If it comes up anything other than six, detonate the bomb. Keep rolling until everyone is convinced many-worlds is correct.
Incidentally, if overwhelming curiosity is a common trait among intelligent species, I think I just found an explanation for the Fermi paradox. (Multiversal mad science: The real Great Filter!)
