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.
Great answer, but it unfortunately is taken seriously. The reason is because it is an “end of the road” hypothesis. It tells you all the weirdness is fundamental and no further thought is required. Just like good old Copenhagen. The unfalsifiability is a virtue here, it’s a complete explanatin without the messy testing. Now stop thinking, shut up, and calculate.
Why is that unfortunate? It’s an extremely well justified theory.
I’m not sure why you say this? If anything, that’s a description of Copenhagen, which MWI is a response to.
Untestable universes is not a rejoinder to “stop thinking” it’s just another way to achieve it
