I’ve been a fan of MWI (many-worlds interpretation) since I first heard about it… > **[Many-worlds interpretation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation)** > > The many-worlds interpretation (MWI) is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts that the universal wavefunction is objectively real, and that there is no wave function collapse. This implies that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in different "worlds". The evolution of reality as a whole in MWI is rigidly deterministic: 9  and local. Many-worlds is also called the relative state formulation or the Everett interpretation, after physicist In modern v... But I think this theory: > **[When Parallel Worlds Collide . . .
