Abstract
Interpretations, or generalizations, of quantum theory that are applicable to cosmology are of interest because they must display and resolve the “paradoxes” directly. The Everett interpretation is reexamined and compared with two alternatives. Its “metaphysical” connotations can be removed, after which it is found to be more acceptable than a theory which incorporates collapse, while retaining some unsatisfactory features.Keywords
