=== Equivocal === Philosophers of science James Ladyman and Don Ross say that MWI could be true, but do not embrace it. They note that no quantum theory is yet empirically adequate for describing all of reality, given its lack of unification with [[general relativity]], and so do not see a reason to regard any interpretation of quantum mechanics as the final word in [[metaphysics]]. They also suggest that the multiple branches may be an artifact of incomplete descriptions and of using quantum mechanics to represent the states of macroscopic objects. They argue that macroscopic objects are significantly different from microscopic objects in not being isolated from the environment, and that using quantum formalism to describe them lacks explanatory and descriptive power and accuracy.<ref name="ladymanross">{{cite book|last1=Ladyman|first1=James|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YC91DgAAQBAJ|title=Every Thing Must Go: Metaphysics Naturalized|last2=Ross|first2=Don|date=2007|publisher=Clarendon Press|isbn=978-0-19-927619-6|pages=179β183|language=en}}</ref>
