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.

    though Many Worlds and String Theory

    String Theory has nothing to do with interpretations of quantum mechanics.

    are widely regarded outside their adherents as non-falsifiable and therefore not legitimate theories.

    Only by people who don’t understand them.

    Essentially the proponents of the theory have created beautiful math that fit their view

    No? Many Worlds has nothing to do with math. You seem to be getting your criticisms mixed up. To be blunt: if you can’t even remember what your criticism is actually meant to apply to, you should probably read into it more before commenting.
