Many Worlds Interpretation: A Multiverse of Possibilities
The Many Worlds Interpretation suggests every quantum outcome creates a new universe.
Instead of collapse, the wavefunction branches into multiple realities.
Each choice—like a particle’s path—spawns parallel worlds where all outcomes happen.
Hugh Everett proposed this radical idea in 1957.
In this view, probability reflects which branch of the multiverse you experience.
Schrödinger’s Cat is alive in one universe and dead in another—both real.
Many Worlds avoids randomness by keeping all possibilities, just in separate universes.
It eliminates the observer’s special role in shaping reality.
Critics argue it’s impossible to test, since we can’t access other branches.
Despite debate, Many Worlds has inspired science fiction and serious physics alike.
