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.

    I had a though experience years ago on mushrooms, that our universe lives in a blackhole. Just think about it, when stars big enough implodes it creates a black hole in the fabric of space, where nothing can escape (not even light).

    The beginning of our universe is somehow related to a condensed hot/light that explodes and creates the actual expansion we see right now… Kinda curious right?

    Also there’s somehow a limit how far we can see through our universe, that’s also odd… It’s impossible at the moment to see outside our own universe, because remember nothing can escape outside a blackhole, not even light !! Soo yeaah that’s why I think we live in a multiverse.

    Also on a final note, Rick&Morty said so 🤷‍♂️

      Just a correction, there isn’t anything limiting how “far” we can see our into the universe except our limited technology. And even then we are very close. We’re only limited by how old our universe is, as it takes light that long to travel to us from the edge of the expanding universe. The furthest we can possibly see would be about 300,000 years after the big bang, when light was finally able to travel unimpeded throughout the universe.

        Thats way I said “for the moment”, because I know we are limited by our technology. However, even If our technology evolves to a degree so large we can not comprehend, I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t be able to “see” outside our own universe.

        Sorry If my wording is a bit janky and not very scientific. Following your guts is also not very scientific in anyway, but that’s how I feel when seeing all those strange coincidence that cross each other strangely enough !

        But thanks for the clarification !

        Edit: Even if we can’t see outside our own bubblrle, we will still be able to travel from one universe to another :p
