“I don’t care about whatever cannot causally interact with me”, that’s the theme of the answers so far. Yet, we are invested in deciding among unfalsifiable propositions in many issues. E.g., even if there may never be an experiment to tell apart MWI from some non-MWI variants, if you’ll never causally be influenced by that difference, plenty of passions and words are spent on that. Knowledge in itself can be a terminal value, and it is for many, even if that knowledge has no utility in so far as it does not influence your actions.
If you know there is an actual (insert your favorite SciFi franchise)-themed Hubble volume out there, and all that separates from you is a lot of space, would that not be worth contemplating?

Incidentally, do you believe that?
