"multiverse" article in Wired - the other multiverse, not MWI

[Gary Oberbrunner]

Just in case anyone's reading Wired, their new article at http://www.wired.com/2014/08/multiverse breathlessly titled "Radical New Theory Could Kill the Multiverse Hypothesis" has nothing to do with the MWI.  It's about scale symmetry.  It implies that with scale-symmetric physics, positing multiple universes each with different physical laws and/or constants, and using the anthropic principle to pick ours out of the soup, might be unnecessary or even wrong.  Somewhat interesting stuff, but not MWI-related.  I wish we had different terms for these two concepts.
