Q: What is the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics?

A: The Many-Worlds Interpretation, or the Many-Verse Theory, proposes that every time a quantum event occurs, the universe splits into multiple parallel universes where every possible outcome of the event occurs in each separate universe. In simpler terms, every time you make a choice, you create a new you in a new universe, and the other yous just live in their own reality.

Q: But why should I care about parallel universes?

A: Well, it's not like you're going to be able to visit them or anything. But think of the possibilities! In one universe, you might be a superhero, and in another, you're a chicken. You might have won every game of poker in one universe, but lost your shirt in another. The possibilities are endless!

Q: Is this just science fiction?

A: Actually, it's science fact! Okay, not really, but it's a theory that's been proposed by some really smart people. Don't worry, it's not like it's going to change your life or anything. Unless you're a superhero, then it's probably going to change your life in ways you never thought possible.
