Quantum physics suggests the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI), where every quantum event creates separate universes for every possible outcome. Formulated by Hugh Everett, MWI contradicts traditional views on quantum mechanics, implying infinite parallel universes exist, affecting interpretations of determinism and free will. Popular culture often reflects this concept, as MWI remains a profound scientific and philosophical discussion point.

exploring the many worlds interpretation: infinite possibilities in quantum physics
Quantum physics' Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) posits that every quantum event spawns separate, parallel universes for each possible outcome, challenging traditional quantum mechanics interpretations. Introduced by Hugh Everett in 1957, MWI hypothetically creates infinite universes, exemplified by different lottery outcomes. Though purely theoretical, it prompts reflections on decision-making and reality, with potential quantum computing applications, yet remains one of many contested quantum theories.
