Many-Worlds Interpretation Explained: Do Parallel Universes Really Exist?

The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast

The many-worlds interpretation proposes that every quantum event splits reality into branching universes, eliminating the need for wave function collapse.

Guided solely by the Schrödinger equation, decoherence separates these parallel outcomes so we perceive only one result.

This episode explores the theory’s mathematical elegance, its deterministic logic, and the major criticisms surrounding probability and the existence of countless unseen worlds.
