Parallel Universes Explained: The Many-Worlds Thesis
Imagine a multiverse, an infinite number of parallel universes, each with their own versions of you. That's the Many-Worlds Thesis, and it's a real thing, we swear.
History of the Many-Worlds Thesis
It all started with Hugh Everett, a physicist who thought that the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics was a good idea. He wrote a paper in 1957 that said every time a quantum event occurs, the universe splits into multiple parallel universes.
But then things got weird. Like, really weird. Like, "what's the point of anything, anyway?" weird.
Some people thought it was a good idea, others thought it was just plain bonkers. But it sparked a whole conversation about the nature of reality and the multiverse.
The Multiverse
The multiverse is just what it sounds like: a bunch of parallel universes, each with their own versions of you and everything else. It's like, you know, the multiverse is just a big ol' mess of parallel realities, each with their own rules and their own versions of you.
Some people think the multiverse is a natural consequence of quantum mechanics, others think it's just a bunch of malarkey. But either way, it's a pretty wild idea.
