Dr. Deutsch:
 
I've read your books, and for some reason, I am going to ask a ridiculous, question. Professor,  Do you ever wonder if it would be somehow, possible, to go above the quantum level, in Everett's MWI, and rather then use it for computing, use it for (ahem!) travel? This fictional vision, would be something like using hyper-power magnets (quadrillions of tesla) open up a "transversable wormhole" push another hyper magnetic assembly through, and set up two way traffic. 
 
The problems with this idea (ridiculous) are legion. A magnet powerful enough to "open" a wormhole is powerful enough to pull the fillings from our teeth, and the iron from our blood. Messy indeed. But I was thinking of this mad creation as being a super nMRI of some sort.  The theme song, for this fantasy, would be the old American tune, The Big Rock Candy Mountain, by Harry McClintock. The lyrics are (subjectively) rather, nice.
 
"One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains"
 
It would be nice if newtonian-scale travel were true. Just a foolish though.
Sincerely, Mitch
