“You have to remember that the whole idea of branching is just a human convenience” Glad he added this line in the end, this is exactly the point of all of it. The true laws of the universe are nowhere near the way we are describing it. It's just a matter of having a more fitting and more complete mathematical explanation of the bahaviour of the universe.
_"The true laws of the universe are nowhere near the way we are describing it."_ Or maybe they are, we have no way to know it. But fortunately it doesn't matter at all, as long as they work.

vsauce has video about physical laws and their role in universe as explanations. Michael tells the same - laws are not the reasons of events in universe. They are just assuming the relationship in-between. He tells about nail in the desk and the shadow from it. Length of the shadow is determined by physical laws and depends on height of the nail. You could even calculate the height of the nail by knowing length of the shadow and position of light. This is the law. BUT length of the shadow isn't a _reason_ for height of nail. Nail's height isn't caused by length of its shadow. These values are tangled but not in cause-effect way. It's just our way to describe relationship in-between. Absolutely real and existing relations but NOT the reasons of things. You're talking exactly about the same. Our math is the way to find out relations and consequences, not the way to discover the reasons. And our theories are always just a models. Robert Anton Wilson tells us not to mess territory and its map :) Laws of physics are our map of reality. It's not a good idea to mess it with reality itself :) Maps are useful are reflects real things but they are just a models.

"You have to remember that the whole idea of branching, is just a human convenience." I think this statement is an important thing to communicate for people to even begin to understand concepts like this. We as humans have to use our limited experience of the universe to apply reason to stuff that is outside our area of comprehension. We can't comprehend scale without a frame of reference for example. You can say the sun is 93 million miles away, but if you don't scale that down to something small enough to understand (like the distance from Chicago to New York), you might as well make up a number because it's impossible to picture that. What we describe as "multiple worlds" with near infinite possibilities where everything we could have done has has happened, is really just us creating a frame of reference to understand it. It isn't the reality of how it works, it's just a way to comprehend it.
I think when you describe something as multiple worlds or universes that just leads to more confusion among laymen. The pop science imagination will always interpret this as meaning there is a literal extra space containing infinite copies of the same stuff only slightly different that we can "science" our way into by opening some exotic technobabble door in reality.

There is also another version of professor Carroll in a parallel branch where he strongly disagrees with this theory and even wrote a book about the insanity of such a possibility
Danny West - Given the trillions (at the very least) of copies of himself that branch off every second, the range of possibilities-for everyone, not just Carrol-is extreme! If Many Worlds is true (and I don’t think it is), I’d say there’s a 99.99999999% chance that there’s a Sean Carrol who ate his own mother, live on national television, but only had to serve one week in prison. He then went on to cure cancer, build an interstellar spaceship in his backyard out of popsicle sticks and dog feces, then became President of the USA, before finally eating his father on national television and then giving himself a Presidential pardon. Also, this version of Sean has three eyes (all different colors), and hair growing out of his tongue. And their are literally trillions of similar Seans “out there”. The end. Oh, and he’s married to Michael Jackson, who’s still alive (and an admitted child molester) in this (series of) branch(es). The actual end.
Toaster R - None of it violates the laws of physics, and I don’t see why any of it would be inconsistent with the starting conditions at the Big Bang along with quantum “randomness”. _EXTREMELY_ unlikely for any given branch, but not unlikely for 10^367 (or whatever) branches per second across the whole universe. It’s ultimately just every different arrangement of particles and atoms that is logically possible, doesn’t violate physics, and is consistent with the starting conditions. I suspect that Sean Carrol would have to admit that it’s likely a reality. (note: I’m not a physicist, and my understanding of QM is severely lacking.)
Ryan Clark Everything humans can imagine is much broader than anything that is possible. For example, fire was required to discover iron, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a civilization in the Iron Age that hasn’t discovered fire. Likewise, Sean Carrol HAD to have been born in the 20th century, otherwise he wouldn’t have the same parents, wouldn’t look the same, wouldn’t have the same upbringing, etc, so you couldn’t call him Sean Carrol. Likewise, curing cancer may one day REQUIRE technologies that currently don’t exist, like iron absolutely needing fire. And because of this, it may be impossible for cancer to be fully cured before the 21st century unless a significant change in history occurred (one which would make the population of people very different). In this sense, it may be PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Sean Carrol to have cured cancer in ANY timeline, and thus no Sean Carrol exists. Just because you can’t immediately think of how something violates physics, doesn’t mean it doesn’t. And the more complex the system, the more likely it is.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someday we find out that the universe is infinitely big or ever expanding in all dimensions, not just in distance or time. Maybe all we are is some sort of energy that simply exists, and everything that happens(including its existence) can be described as entropy. That way it makes sense how the Big Bang happened without anything “prior”, since we all are just waves of energy and it simply transcends states infinitely. So maybe everything is infinite in infinite ways that it could be infinite(like the multiverse theory). Then perhaps physics could be treated as math

Sean's description of parallel universes as air particles is accurate. You see, two air molecules never occur in the same position in space, in a similar way, it's impossible for us human beings or even any other particle made out of quantum particles in our universe to interact with the other versions of themselves cuz it'll break the reality. If we actually create a portal into a parallel world, it just shows that all the particles that are interacting in both versions exist in superposition while observing, which is not possible according to Schrodinger's equation.

Actually the reason for the experiment was to prove that things like this do not matter on our macro-scale. The cat being alive or not is irrelevant to us because we have no control of knowing. The cat is either alive or dead whether we observe or not. Us not knowing doesn't change reality itself, only our knowledge of it. It's the same with the still brought up double split experiment. The reason that the it changed from waves and particles is not because of our observation, but that we need light to observe. Our observation was and is irrelevant. Schrodinger's cat thought experiments set to prove the same thing. On our macro scale, it doesn't matter, we don't affect the universe's laws of physics and our knowing doesn't change reality.

Hell, look at the orders of magnitude: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time) Even a single Planck time (10^−20 years) is described as only the shortest theoretically *measurable* time interval, not the smallest time increment. Which would mean that entanglement would instantiate at a much, much higher rate than humanly imaginable; if imagination only meant to attempt a perfect understanding surrounding every aspect of a variable rather than what is necessarily useful like relative positions in comparison to other objects of note, temperature, frequency etc. (sorry for that last tangent, just needed to clarify the semantics to myself.)

To make it clear. Humans observing something does NOT collapse a wave function specifically. The "measurement" and "entanglement" aspects to quantum wave function collapse are the same. The act of us "observing" something requires us to interact with it in some way, even up to and including bouncing a simple photon off a particle so we can detect it, thus entangling it.
But what if that theory were to occur within the matrix system, if there is a reality in which one exists? Sorry if it’s a dumb question I’m still working on comprehending it😅

So far, I am convinced with the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. My only concern is that the idea that every quantum measurement creates multiple parallel realities prompts questions about how energy fits in this framework. In classical mechanics, the conservation of energy states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant over time, in that none is created or destroyed, only transformed and redistributed. If applied to the many-worlds interpretation, each multiversal branch, which is representative of a different outcome of a quantum measurement as a result of wave function collapse, would conserve energy within itself. In other words, the total energy across all branches remains constant. However, we have to take into account quantum fluctuations, where energy can briefly pop up in a tiny space due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. These fluctuations are inherent in the quantum nature of reality and can lead to temporary violations against energy conservation within certain constraints dictated by quantum mechanics. The way I see it, these temporary violations are observed only in one multiversal branch. With the realization of all possible outcomes of a quantum event into separate branches, each branch will have its own probability amplitude. From a statistical perspective, the overall energy distribution across the multiverse would follow probabilities dictated by quantum mechanics ensuring that while multiple scenarios are possible, they occur with appropriate probabilities that maintain energy balance overall, so the conservation principle is preserved. Nevertheless, we have to take into account decoherence, one that gravely affects the quantum system as factors like the observer, other particles, and radiation become entangled with it, leading to the apparent wavefunction collapse. Decoherence remains a significant challenge in quantum computing as it introduces errors and loss of quantum information after the collapse occurred. From a practical standpoint, the fundamental dilemma still remains: overall many-worlds-system complexity - the discussion of energy sufficiency in the many-worlds interpretation as understood within the framework of quantum reality is bound to intersect with broader debates about the nature of reality, the role of the observers, and the interpretation of quantum probabilities in various quantum interpretations. I guess, I'd have to study more of these in quantum field theory (QFT).
unless... there is an infinite number of worlds, that would mean that the law of energy conservation would not be broken. But it would also interfere the with the probability because it would mean that everything would be (1/infinite). But i find it easier to believe that parallel worlds dont exist and people came up with the idea when trying to understand probability. also im just a random guy knowing nothing so dont believe me if u dont wanna
@@betssytejada6553 even the greatest scientists doesnt understand things in one go, and same for you, its not important how many times it takes for you to understand one thing, its how you can process the data that u understood and get new result of the same data!
Here's the thing I'm still not comfortable with: I take it that the splitting of outcomes (decoherence) is described by the transition from a mathematical pure state(one wavefunction) to a mathematical mixed state(branched wavefunctions in terms of the states you get after doing a Schimdt decomposition of the density operator) under some kind of Lindblad type equation of motion. The many-worlds approach is interpreting the mathematical branching of the mixed state as an actual ensemble of realities. But there are other ways to interpret this branching. If we don't take the branches in the mixed state as branches in reality, but rather as a statistical ensemble, then decoherence doesn't have to support many-worlds. You can say that it supports that there are other things going on that we are not aware of. After all, we partial traced away the environment, the detector, our brains, our consciousness(whatever that is) when we wrote down a density operator evolving under a Lindblad type equation. In other words, instead of branching realities, the branching in decoherence can mean that we don't know which outcome it's going to be, just that which is more likely. So the thing that I'm not sure about is this: I can't see why many-worlds is favoured over a statistical ensemble interpretation. Statistical ensemble happens all the time in physics: you can derive PV=NkT by considering the statistical ensemble of all the particles in your room, but you don't talk about realities becoming branched when two partitioned gases reach thermal equilibria with God knows how many microstates. You instead say "microstates don't matter and this distribution, which is what most accessible microstates give and hence most likely, is what we see in experiments." We don't talk about many-worlds when we think about classical statistical mechanics, why talk about many-worlds when we think about decoherence, which leads you to something that can also be interpreted as a statistical ensemble? Edits: kudos to Derek for explaining such a complicated topic while balancing accuracy and accessibility!
Yep, I agree with you completely. While the idea of many worlds is aesthetically pleasing, there are too many things going on before even reaching such a conclusion. More research has to be focused on understanding the interaction between the quantum and the measurement apparatus which is classical.
I can imagine a conversation between me and a tva agent: tva agent: seen any Loki variants me: no tva agent says something to other tva agent this is the variant
Instead of thinking of it as the universe continually splitting, the way I like to think of it as every possibility already existing. Basically like, the universe exists in a massive superposition of every possible combination of positions of every particle within it, and what we think of as moving through time is just our movement through that possibility space.

Actually I was told that rocket science isn't that hard, as you just have to measure the velocity and speed and stuff. The engineering is the hard part. This phrase should just be reversed XD "It's not quantum physics, it's rocket science!" Hello fellow redditors. I see you. r/woooooosh

For all of those talking about having a better life in another parallel universe: remember that there are way more parallel universes where you never existed at all. Simply existing in this world for us is a miracle.
Maybe a less confusing way to look at the many-worlds model is not to say that the universe branches at every "decision", but rather, all those extra unverses were/are there the whole time -- they just look identical up until that branch point. This doesn't address my own deeper issue with the many-worlds model, but perhaps it does make conservation of energy easier to see.
They forget to mention that the speed is not constant... as has been proven time and time again. I move at the speed of me. Cats move at the speed of cats. Rocks move at the speed of rocks... It's all relative, until it is not. Depends who opened the box and looked inside. Unless no-one opened the box, then there is a live cat in there forever, which is now radioactive.
@Solomon Richards Only upon observation can we determine his position at a given moment to be either interesting or tiresome, within the wave function of our attention spans.
The computer simulation that we're living in doesn't bother to calculate these things to save performance right up until the point where we measure them. Bet.
I try to think about it as a fluid simulation in video games. It’s not trying to simulate every molecule, rather it simulates an approximation of the expected outcome. And if you “zoom in” all the way in, all you find is a single, with fixed two dimensional positions and some other properties like colour or brightness pixel, which tells you absolutely nothing about the whole system. It’s just a manifestation in order to make the simulation visually work.
People who taut simulation argument don't spend a ton of time questioning it. In an infinite universe is it likely that everything will happen that can happen? No. Then it is unlikely that simulation exists. The argument fundamentally is if things continue at the rate of improvement of digital simulation; then it is impossible that digital simulation cannot meet or exceed the reality we live in; and thus that we do not exist in base reality but rather a simulated one. However, that argument belies that there is the initial will or desire to create a simulation as vast and accurate as our own. Ergo the initial premise of my argument, if in an infinite universe is it likely that EVERYTHING (i.e. infinity possibilities) that can happen will happen. Mathematically; infinity can't be raised another infinity. Like I said, most people who tout the simulation argument don't think enough about it they regurgitate it.

“You have to remember that the whole idea of branching is just a human convenience” Glad he added this line in the end, this is exactly the point of all of it. The true laws of the universe are nowhere near the way we are describing it. It's just a matter of having a more fitting and more complete mathematical explanation of the bahaviour of the universe.
_"The true laws of the universe are nowhere near the way we are describing it."_

vsauce has video about physical laws and their role in universe as explanations. Michael tells the same - laws are not the reasons of events in universe. They are just assuming the relationship in-between. He tells about nail in the desk and the shadow from it. Length of the shadow is determined by physical laws and depends on height of the nail. You could even calculate the height of the nail by knowing length of the shadow and position of light. This is the law. BUT length of the shadow isn't a _reason_ for height of nail. Nail's height isn't caused by length of its shadow. These values are tangled but not in cause-effect way. It's just our way to describe relationship in-between. Absolutely real and existing relations but NOT the reasons of things. You're talking exactly about the same. Our math is the way to find out relations and consequences, not the way to discover the reasons. And our theories are always just a models. Robert Anton Wilson tells us not to mess territory and its map :) Laws of physics are our map of reality. It's not a good idea to mess it with reality itself :) Maps are useful are reflects real things but they are just a models.

Hard when all the other "me" are thinking the same.
"You have to remember that the whole idea of branching, is just a human convenience." I think this statement is an important thing to communicate for people to even begin to understand concepts like this. We as humans have to use our limited experience of the universe to apply reason to stuff that is outside our area of comprehension. We can't comprehend scale without a frame of reference for example. You can say the sun is 93 million miles away, but if you don't scale that down to something small enough to understand (like the distance from Chicago to New York), you might as well make up a number because it's impossible to picture that. What we describe as "multiple worlds" with near infinite possibilities where everything we could have done has has happened, is really just us creating a frame of reference to understand it. It isn't the reality of how it works, it's just a way to comprehend it.
You sound really clever, like you understand very well the subject you are talking about. Even if that subject is fictional
@@michaelking8391 It's not fictional

He then went on to cure cancer, build an interstellar spaceship in his backyard out of popsicle sticks and dog feces, then became President of the USA, before finally eating his father on national television and then giving himself a Presidential pardon.

_EXTREMELY_ unlikely for any given branch, but not unlikely for 10^367 (or whatever) branches per second across the whole universe. It’s ultimately just every different arrangement of particles and atoms that is logically possible, doesn’t violate physics, and is consistent with the starting conditions.
I suspect that Sean Carrol would have to admit that it’s likely a reality.

Ryan Clark
Everything humans can imagine is much broader than anything that is possible.
For example, fire was required to discover iron, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a civilization in the Iron Age that hasn’t discovered fire.
Likewise, Sean Carrol HAD to have been born in the 20th century, otherwise he wouldn’t have the same parents, wouldn’t look the same, wouldn’t have the same upbringing, etc, so you couldn’t call him Sean Carrol.
Likewise, curing cancer may one day REQUIRE technologies that currently don’t exist, like iron absolutely needing fire. And because of this, it may be impossible for cancer to be fully cured before the 21st century unless a significant change in history occurred (one which would make the population of people very different).
In this sense, it may be PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Sean Carrol to have cured cancer in ANY timeline, and thus no Sean Carrol exists.
Just because you can’t immediately think of how something violates physics, doesn’t mean it doesn’t. And the more complex the system, the more likely it is.

Right, he was trying to show how ridiculous that assumption was, despite the fact that the assumption had to be true for the double-slit experiment to work.
yall ever just break the quantum theory by manipulating tickbase? I actually call double-slit - double tap, you just shift ticks or break sequence while doing swap and it breaks perception of time which causes whole issue with relativity and quantum physics
I wouldn’t be surprised if someday we find out that the universe is infinitely big or ever expanding in all dimensions, not just in distance or time. Maybe all we are is some sort of energy that simply exists, and everything that happens(including its existence) can be described as entropy. That way it makes sense how the Big Bang happened without anything “prior”, since we all are just waves of energy and it simply transcends states infinitely. So maybe everything is infinite in infinite ways that it could be infinite(like the multiverse theory). Then perhaps physics could be treated as math

You see, two air molecules never occur in the same position in space, in a similar way, it's impossible for us human beings or even any other particle made out of quantum particles in our universe to interact with the other versions of themselves cuz it'll break the reality. If we actually create a portal into a parallel world, it just shows that all the particles that are interacting in both versions exist in superposition while observing, which is not possible according to Schrodinger's equation.

It’s great because I’m theoretically never wrong, but this means my wife is correct when she says “You’re never wrong” and “You’re always right” during our marital disagreements. I’m truly torn about the matter.
It would be more likely with a infinite amount of you that one choice at a time is changed. People normally win the power ball once for $500m. But lightning does strike the same spot more than once but the path is different every time
well you aren't torn about the matter in another universe so its okay bro
To Buddhists in countries like China they believe evolution when a person upon his death his soul will at that moment move to another place and where he/she eventually goes or does depends on a ruling by the god or haven, this person could be reborn to a person or an animal, upon the Haven court’s ruling largely depends on the dead person’s past life. Also, all died are to cross a bridge under it is a river called ‘memory-erasing water’ and once a person walks across this bridge he/she will immediately forget whatever did in the past life, good or bad, like shuffling a deck of cards. It’s teaching emphasizing people
to do more goods on this life then you will be rewarded in due respect, or facing likely penalty including going down the hell where one could be thrown to
a boiling oil pot or to the devil fire. This is all from the teaching since none of us have any memory or experience.
Nice, this means no matter how much I make mistakes there’s a version of me out there making all of the correct choices and another version making even worse incorrect choices. My thought goes beyond a possible 'look alike version' or even lets say just another person of a different sex. I'm looking at energy entangled with energy. If this is true then would I consider a versions of myself spliced into an infinite particles of what makes the universe separated from say another Earth with another being of me? I guess it comes down to what is entangled exactly? I mean I could be an Alligator a tree, or a bus split into a multitude of parts like minerals strewn about on this alternate Earth that has been shuffled though the ages with different people and in essence I am entirely another being or inanimate object. I think this is how people consider checking in to the psyche ward.

The problem with using a cat in Schrodinger's experiment is that we say it's unknown whether the cat is alive or dead unless observed, so it's "both". But the cat is a live subject, so it has an inside perspective of being alive (or the process of dying). It might not know why we put it in there, but it's still observing its surroundings. A less sentient being might be a better example.
I don't see how it's a problem considering it's a theoretical concept in the first place. Those variables you mentioned have nothing to do with the underlying principle as far as I can see

Dear me .
I often wonder if my realities were split into two after escaping near death experiences and I’m living in the one where I survived.
That moment when its like 4 am, see this video, and decide to scroll down to the comments section before going to sleep. And now you cant. Because this comment is still sinking in. Slowly. And because, it seems, its entirely possible.
I've been wondering the same. Maybe at some point I will get chronically ill and keep surviving against all odds, making the news for still being alive. At that point I know I'm in a very low amplitude branch of the wave function.
if realities are split, they're split after every possible discrepancy, the universe doesn't know the difference between serious ones (for us) and trivial ones
this is the summary of the Quantum Immortality Theory
For sure. You happen to be experiencing the branch where you live.
Otherwise your particles go on with out you as your decaying body collapses more wave functions

Actually the reason for the experiment was to prove that things like this do not matter on our macro-scale. The cat being alive or not is irrelevant to us because we have no control of knowing. The cat is either alive or dead whether we observe or not. Us not knowing doesn't change reality itself, only our knowledge of it.
It's the same with the still brought up double split experiment. The reason that the it changed from waves and particles is not because of our observation, but that we need light to observe. Our observation was and is irrelevant.
Schrodinger's cat thought experiments set to prove the same thing. On our macro scale, it doesn't matter, we don't affect the universe's laws of physics and our knowing doesn't change reality.

I think this is the most convicing argument for multiple universes I've heard so far.
So “now” is a split nano-second after there was an incredible number of possibilities. And “now” there are still incredible numbers of possibilities.
Wouldn't now be smaller than an attosecond? Which is a billionth of a nanosecond? Hell, look at the orders of magnitude:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time)
Even a single Planck time (10^−20 years) is described as only the shortest theoretically *measurable* time interval, not the smallest time increment. Which would mean that entanglement would instantiate at a much, much higher rate than humanly imaginable; if imagination only meant to attempt a perfect understanding surrounding every aspect of a variable rather than what is necessarily useful like relative positions in comparison to other objects of note, temperature, frequency etc. (sorry for that last tangent, just needed to clarify the semantics to myself.)

To make it clear. Humans observing something does NOT collapse a wave function specifically. The "measurement" and "entanglement" aspects to quantum wave function collapse are the same. The act of us "observing" something requires us to interact with it in some way, even up to and including bouncing a simple photon off a particle so we can detect it, thus entangling it.

So far, I am convinced with the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. My only concern is that the idea that every quantum measurement creates multiple parallel realities prompts questions about how energy fits in this framework.
In classical mechanics, the conservation of energy states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant over time, in that none is created or destroyed, only transformed and redistributed. If applied to the many-worlds interpretation, each multiversal branch, which is representative of a different outcome of a quantum measurement as a result of wave function collapse, would conserve energy within itself. In other words, the total energy across all branches remains constant.
However, we have to take into account quantum fluctuations, where energy can briefly pop up in a tiny space due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. These fluctuations are inherent in the quantum nature of reality and can lead to temporary violations against energy conservation within certain constraints dictated by quantum mechanics.
The way I see it, these temporary violations are observed only in one multiversal branch. With the realization of all possible outcomes of a quantum event into separate branches, each branch will have its own probability amplitude.
From a statistical perspective, the overall energy distribution across the multiverse would follow probabilities dictated by quantum mechanics ensuring that while multiple scenarios are possible, they occur with appropriate probabilities that maintain energy balance overall, so the conservation principle is preserved.
Nevertheless, we have to take into account decoherence, one that gravely affects the quantum system as factors like the observer, other particles, and radiation become entangled with it, leading to the apparent wavefunction collapse. Decoherence remains a significant challenge in quantum computing as it introduces errors and loss of quantum information after the collapse occurred.
From a practical standpoint, the fundamental dilemma still remains: overall many-worlds-system complexity - the discussion of energy sufficiency in the many-worlds interpretation as understood within the framework of quantum reality is bound to intersect with broader debates about the nature of reality, the role of the observers, and the interpretation of quantum probabilities in various quantum interpretations.
I guess, I'd have to study more of these in quantum field theory (QFT).
unless... there is an infinite number of worlds, that would mean that the law of energy conservation would not be broken. But it would also interfere the with the probability because it would mean that everything would be (1/infinite). But i find it easier to believe that parallel worlds dont exist and people came up with the idea when trying to understand probability. also im just a random guy knowing nothing so dont believe me if u dont wanna

@@betssytejada6553 even the greatest scientists doesnt understand things in one go, and same for you, its not important how many times it takes for you to understand one thing, its how you can process the data that u understood and get new result of the same data!
Here's the thing I'm still not comfortable with: I take it that the splitting of outcomes (decoherence) is described by the transition from a mathematical pure state(one wavefunction) to a mathematical mixed state(branched wavefunctions in terms of the states you get after doing a Schimdt decomposition of the density operator) under some kind of Lindblad type equation of motion. The many-worlds approach is interpreting the mathematical branching of the mixed state as an actual ensemble of realities.
But there are other ways to interpret this branching. If we don't take the branches in the mixed state as branches in reality, but rather as a statistical ensemble, then decoherence doesn't have to support many-worlds. You can say that it supports that there are other things going on that we are not aware of. After all, we partial traced away the environment, the detector, our brains, our consciousness(whatever that is) when we wrote down a density operator evolving under a Lindblad type equation. In other words, instead of branching realities, the branching in decoherence can mean that we don't know which outcome it's going to be, just that which is more likely.
So the thing that I'm not sure about is this: I can't see why many-worlds is favoured over a statistical ensemble interpretation. Statistical ensemble happens all the time in physics: you can derive PV=NkT by considering the statistical ensemble of all the particles in your room, but you don't talk about realities becoming branched when two partitioned gases reach thermal equilibria with God knows how many microstates. You instead say "microstates don't matter and this distribution, which is what most accessible microstates give and hence most likely, is what we see in experiments."
We don't talk about many-worlds when we think about classical statistical mechanics, why talk about many-worlds when we think about decoherence, which leads you to something that can also be interpreted as a statistical ensemble?
Edits: kudos to Derek for explaining such a complicated topic while balancing accuracy and accessibility!
Yes
sir, this is a wendy's
Yep, I agree with you completely. While the idea of many worlds is aesthetically pleasing, there are too many things going on before even reaching such a conclusion. More research has to be focused on understanding the interaction between the quantum and the measurement apparatus which is classical.

Instead of thinking of it as the universe continually splitting, the way I like to think of it as every possibility already existing. Basically like, the universe exists in a massive superposition of every possible combination of positions of every particle within it, and what we think of as moving through time is just our movement through that possibility space. The quantum wave function then being a description of adjacent points within that superposition, the nearer ones being closer to the center of the wave.

Maybe a less confusing way to look at the many-worlds model is not to say that the universe branches at every "decision", but rather, all those extra unverses were/are there the whole time -- they just look identical up until that branch point.

The computer simulation that we're living in doesn't bother to calculate these things to save performance right up until the point where we measure them. Bet.
Culling I think it's called, it's where video games don't render things that aren't able to be seen at the moment
I try to think about it as a fluid simulation in video games. It’s not trying to simulate every molecule, rather it simulates an approximation of the expected outcome. And if you “zoom in” all the way in, all you find is a single, with fixed two dimensional positions and some other properties like colour or brightness pixel, which tells you absolutely nothing about the whole system. It’s just a manifestation in order to make the simulation visually work.
People who taut simulation argument don't spend a ton of time questioning it. In an infinite universe is it likely that everything will happen that can happen? No. Then it is unlikely that simulation exists. The argument fundamentally is if things continue at the rate of improvement of digital simulation; then it is impossible that digital simulation cannot meet or exceed the reality we live in; and thus that we do not exist in base reality but rather a simulated one. However, that argument belies that there is the initial will or desire to create a simulation as vast and accurate as our own. Ergo the initial premise of my argument, if in an infinite universe is it likely that EVERYTHING (i.e. infinity possibilities) that can happen will happen. Mathematically; infinity can't be raised another infinity. Like I said, most people who tout the simulation argument don't think enough about it they regurgitate it.
