Many-Worlds-Interpretation FAQ

What is the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics?

It's a fancy way of saying that, like, every time you do something, the universe splits into like, a gazillion versions of itself, and you get to see all of 'em. Think of it like a never-ending Choose Your Own Adventure book, but with more particles and fewer laser guns.

But don't worry, it's not like you're actually experiencing all those universes. That's just what the math says. In reality, you're still just stuck in one of 'em, probably the one where the pizza delivery guy never shows up.

What's the deal with the math?

Uh, don't worry about it. Math is hard. Just know that it involves a lot of complicated equations and things like "many-worlds" and "branching universes" and "Schrödinger's cat"... Yeah, just trust us, it's complicated.

But if you're feeling brave, try reading some of the papers on our paper library. Just don't say we didn't warn you.

Is this like, actually possible?

Look, we don't know. We're not exactly quantum physicists. But it sounds kinda cool, doesn't it?

However, if it was possible, wouldn't it be kinda... inconvenient? I mean, imagine all those different versions of yourself, living different lives, but still somehow connected to each other. It's like, the ultimate roommate problem.
