Within this bewildering realm of quantum mechanics lies a particularly fascinating theory: the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI). Unlike anything in classical physics, MWI proposes the existence of parallel universes to explain quantum phenomena. This article simplifies MWI using a relatable example—the lottery—to make this complex theory accessible to everyone, regardless of their scientific background.
