...The multiverse theory is a clear and major violation of occam's razor...
Why are you then so sure about the materialist interpretation of quantum theory,for example ?
What makes you think consciousness can be detected directly via empirical evidence through material devices?
Consciousness has a non-mechanical causation , and is non-physical non -material + non-local : see Carter's excerpts here above , once again .Caroll is just yet another materialist scientist who assumes so falsely that the nature of reality is exclusively material or physical , including consciousness .
Materialist Caroll started from a false premise that can lead him only to a false conclusion : the nature of reality is exclusively material : see above .
Quote from: dlordeSo accept what quantum field theory tells you. No unknown fields or forces that can influence your brain. No psi, or paranormal, or supernatural influences. Welcome to the real world.Don't be too sure of yourself. Have you ever heard of the Pear Engineering Anomalies Laboratory? If not then see:http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/They did research in Human-Machine Anomalies and Remote Perception. This is not a crackpot operation and they did get positive experimental results! This work took place over a period of three decades. See:http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/theory.html

Will be back after a while ...See above ...Thanks ...I can't handle my excitement regarding the above lol
Intent , beliefs and expectations, desires , wishes ... do affect the interpretation of scientific data , the design of experiments and their outcome and much more ...Wow ...The observer and the observed are inseparable thus . Think about all the major and unprecedented implications of all that .The subjective cannot be separated from the "objective" , even in science itself .See the subjective science concept in that research ...

If my husband is at a friend's watching hockey when I think he is out shopping for a present for me, I am just simply wrong. He is not in a superpositioned state until I find out what has occurred, and I cannot collapse a wave form and cause one or the other to have happened. What you're referring to is just magical thinking.
According to quantum biology, the European robin has a 'sixth sense' in the form of a protein in its eye sensitive to the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field, allowing it to 'see' which way to migrate.http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/oct/26/youre-powered-by-quantum-mechanics-biology
What do you have to say about this other scientific bombshell ?
... Not sure about "quantum biology" but we have known for at least 50 years that pigeons have magnetic field sensors, and there is some weak evidence that humans do too. All of which points rather strongly to a conventional concept of evolution and adaptation.
What happens to the electron in the absence of an observer? Does it disappear up its own anus, or are charge and mass conserved, as we used to think? Neutrons approaching Earth from the sun, decay. That involves, in one model, the collapse of a couple of wavefunctions so it seems that the consciousness of beings on earth extends several million miles sunwards. But the sun radiates in all directions, so can we assume that neutrons do not decay en route to Mars or Pluto? If so, how do they know that they have passed beyond Earth's orbit?
