Predestination in the Many-Worlds Interpretation: A Guide
Where Every Choice is a Necessity
According to the Many-Worlds Interpretation, every possibility exists in a separate universe. But what happens when you try to navigate this multiverse?
Predestination says that every decision, every action, and every inaction is predetermined.
Examples of Predestination in Action:
- You decide to buy a lottery ticket, but it's actually just a publicity stunt for a new brand of lottery tickets.
- Your favorite food is actually a result of a parallel universe where you're a professional gourmand, and you've just been sent to our universe to sample their wares.
- You've always known that the coffee shop on the corner is actually a portal to another dimension, but you've just been too busy to go.
