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.

We exist on the electromagnetic spectrum of energy, there are other types of energy and waves outside of that spectrum that we are aware exist, thus it’s reasonable to think there might be other realities outside of what we experience, this has lead to the idea of multiple universes, but that is a misinterpretation, as if we ever found ourselves outside of the electromagnetic spectrum we would cease to exist, as our matter does not exist in that spectrum. There is no evidence of any sort of butterfly effect multiverse sort of nonsense, that’s woo woo bullshit science fiction.

Anyone referring to the double slit experiment or schrodinger’s cat as proof of a multiverse don’t understand the basic concepts behind both of those things.

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 🤷‍♂️

An analogy, if you're into programming, is that when the universe splits it will not duplicate the code of the universe but rather branch the state out.

Still though the universe would need some endless amount of memory to handle all the different deltas.

Great question. That’s all I have. Gonna be trusting folks that have worked in this field and have an extensive an incredibly qualified viewpoint from vast sources around the planet. That and there is an applicable physics understanding that honestly has no known bias. Sure, there are some varied hypothesis and theories within the scientific community. Ultimately, the actual science just is. It don’t care about your feelings. I do because I’m a human being. I hope you are having a wonderful day. But if for a moment you are peddling pseudo science, I want to make one thing clear, keep up the bullshit & Ima take you to the edge of the planet and throw yo’ ass of the edge. Try me. I will work on crowdfunding this project. I’m taking your dumb ass up in a big fucking jet & we are gonna fly the goddamn planet until we reach our point of origin from the opposite direction.
