The
Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics tells us that
observation collapses a probability wave into a single definitive
outcome, but this isn’t the only interpretation of quantum mechanics.
The many worlds theory proposes that the wavefunction never actually
collapses. The observer simply follows one of those many possible paths
into their present reality while all the other paths continue on
independent of the observer. Each of these paths branches off into an
entirely different reality. In this episode Matt discusses the details
of the many worlds theory and why it’s not so far-fetched to think that
our reality is simply one of an infinite number of realities existing
within space time.
