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.

      Okay, cool, whatever. Maybe go write a paper about that. I’ll even read it so you don’t have to bother actual peer reviewers.

        Your first sentence is a rule 1 violation (“be respectful and inclusive”), could you amend or remove it? Criticize the ideas (preferably with sources) but not the person. Thanks!

          And the comment I replied to violates rules 3, 6, and 9. Why am I being singled out?

          Edit: I am incorrect, my apologies.

            You are not being singled out. I’ve given the author of the other comment a warning with the opportunity to fix the rule violation with an edit, same as you. In both cases, the comments will be removed if they aren’t addressed in a reasonable timeframe.
