Zero probability of what? And if your answer is "of being observed"
then my next question is "being observed by who?"*
No, if you measure a variable A in a world it was just measure to have
the eigenvalue Ao, then MWI says you are in a world with A=Ao with
probability 1.0 Yet you wrote that "Many Worlds says it was in every
state that is not forbidden by Schrodinger's Equation." The system is
not forbidden by Schrodinger's equation to be in other states Ai; it is
a contingent fact that it happened, in this world, to land in state Ao
the first time it was measured. So it has probability zero of being a
world where A=Ai. This has nothing to do with being observed or by whom
unless you think consciousness is necessary for measurement.
