Although several versions of many-worlds have been proposed since Hugh Everett's original work, they all contain one key idea: the equations of physics that model the time evolution of systems without embedded observers are sufficient for modelling systems which do contain observers ; in particular there is no observation-triggered wave function collapse which the Copenhagen interpretation proposes.

Although in some cases actinofibrils ( internal structural fibres ) in the wing membrane have been mistaken for pycnofibres or true hair, some fossils such as those of Sordes pilosus ( which translates as " hairy demon ") and Jeholopterus ninchengensis do show the unmistakable imprints of pycnofibres on the head and body, not unlike modern-day bats, another example of convergent evolution.
