Imagine if you were told that the world is simple and exactly as it seems, but that there is an infinite number of worlds just like ours. They share the same space and time, and interact with each other. These worlds behave as Newton first envisioned, except that the slightest interactions of the infinite number create nuances and deviations from the Newtonian mechanics. What could be deterministic is swayed by many worlds to become the unpredictable.
Schrödinger, in explaining his wave function and the interaction of two particles (EPR paradox) coined the term entanglement. In effect, the MIW theory is an entanglement of an infinite number of worlds but not in terms of a wave function. The theorists state that they were compelled to develop MIW theory to eliminate the need for a wave function to explain the Universe. This is the new theory about parallel universes explained by Australian and American theorists in a paper published in the journal Physics Review X. Called the Many Interacting Worlds theory (MIW), the paper explains that rather than standing apart, an infinite number of universes share the same space and time as ours. They show that their theory can explain quantum mechanical effects while leaving open the choice of theory to explain the universe at large scales. This is a fascinating new variant of Multiverse Theory that, in a sense, creates not just a doppelganger of everyone but an infinite number of them all overlaying each other in the same space and time.
The Many Interacting Worlds theory, presented by Michael Hall and Howard Wiseman from Griffith University in Australia, and Dirk-André Deckert from the University of California, Davis, differs from previous multiverse theories in that the worlds ..... coincide with each other, and are not just parallel.

I I I don’t don’t don’t believe believe believe it it it.
"Fascinating"
Explains how we got conservatives screaming for more RINOs. The worlds crossed over. How do I get back to my world? Thats all I care about.
I've had that feeling since 1992.
No? Infinity isn't big enough to hold that one? Dang it.
I have previously and only partially jokingly on FR said that at some point in the 90s some star treckian cosmic event happened and reality split...that somewhere out there ‘my’ Earth went on without me. Maybe it really did.
Psychobabble.....
Where “he who must not be named” didn’t abscond his team to Baltimore.
Well, this isn’t about psychology.
But it could be PhysicsBabble, I suppose.
It’s not fair: I wanna be the universe where Obama isn’t POTUS!
Nah... its psychobabble.... You gotta be a psycho to believe it. Told by psychos, believed by psychos, dreamed about by psychos. Babbled about by psychos... :)
Schrodinger, huh? WELL DON`T HURT THE KITTY!!!
Mental masturbation.
Buy this theory or the kitty gets it.
Attention! Attention Please, announcement!!
Avoid the green Acid, repeat, avoid the green acid,
And Now Country Joe and the Fish!!!!
Yep...
Oh, mud-DOG, right? I get it! Well we may have to activate the kiteh ping.
All of this is based on the pointless quest to stuff quantum mechanics into the mode of thinking that became habit when Newton’s approximately correct physics made the universe look like clockwork.
I propose a simpler “interpretation” of quantum mechanics: the world is made of really weird stuff.
