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.
I don’t understand how it’s any more outlandish than thinking that we can be aware of everything that exists, or that everything exists in a straight line through time, never branching. Maybe it’s a lack of understanding on my part, but it seems the sum total of what we have discovered through science, or even through imagination, only illuminates a very small subset of reality. We can only measure with the instruments we can imagine and build, and with our own limited senses. So I wouldn’t jump to believe, nor to label unbelievable.
