No semi-competent physicist would ever claim that. If they did, it wouldn't be on 'scientific' grounds.

'MWI' as you call it isn't science, it's a metaphysical theory about the interpretation of quantum mechanics. It doesn't (currently) make any testable predictions whatsoever. Stephen Hawking's musings about these philosophical areas are as fallible as the next guy's.

So to clarify, don't use philosophical fluff like this as examples of established science.

Thank you, good day!
