From Heimo Posamentier
For the last 45 years I have regularly read astrophysics articles, rarely understanding more than 10 per cent, but always fascinated. Now I read that in any game of quantum Russian roulette I would continue to breathe in one universe (27 September, p 32).
Surely this would apply to other potentially fatal situations – pneumonia, falling off a cliff, and so on – and to all other organisms (including cats). Some universes must be getting rather crowded.
For my part, I am glad that somewhere I will be able to read New Scientist for at least another 45 years.
