I guess I’ve always been confused by the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Physics and the fact that it’s taken seriously. Like is there any proof at all that universes outside of our own exist?
I admit that I might be dumb, but, how does one look at atoms and say “My God! There must be many worlds than just our one?”
I just never understood how Many Worlds Interpretation was valid, with my, admittedly limited understanding, it just seemed to be a wild guess no more strange than a lot things we consider too outlandish to humor.
If you want to know why it’s taken seriously:

Tl;dr: you need to actually understand the physics at play that lead to serious consideration of the many worlds theory. It’s not the pop-sci it gets painted as. It’s much more specific.
“It’s not as pop-sci as painted” anyway here’s some pop-sci to justify it…
The reply to the energy problem is hilarious. These universes that differ by a single quantum event have radically different energy totals. Science!
If you want the real answer then take some physics courses instead of being an uninformed dumb dumb.
If you want a quick answer then I posted a high level explanation that’s well regarded amongst physicists.
