There is only One who is infinite.
It’s fun watching silly dirt people running around with their grandiose ideas.
Agreed. I’m not religious enough to believe in a multi-verse I can’t see or detect with any instrument. But when I look at how unique and special Earth is to be able to support advanced life, I find myself losing all the doubts about God’s existence that was instilled in my when I took my liberal arts “core” courses.
If all possibilities didn’t exist, would we still have free will?
The idea of a multiverse does not necessarily exclude God; there are things both seen and unseen, after all.
But man traveling between multiverses... LOL!
Einstein objected to the idea of anything being indeterminate (i.e., an effect without a cause). So do I.
This so-called collapse only occurs, not only when observation, or measurement, is underway, makes it entirely subjective, i.e. imaginary, i.e. unscientific.

It now provides excuses for Hollywood which has franchised 4 different incompatible versions of ‘Halloween’ and at least 3 different branches of ‘Psycho’ mythology.
This article transitions abruptly from a discussion of different scientific models to one that is purely philosophical. In any case, to me, the business of science is the business of making predictions, accurate and repeatable ones.
In what sense does an “alternative reality” exist if we can never interact with it, directly or indirectly? If there is none, then the discussion is no more than opinion, dressed up as science.
If you are both sinner and saint in the multiverse do you have any free will, can there be any redemption, and do all of the variants experience the same united afterlife?
Supposedly, Hugh Everett who first proposed Many Worlds lived a gluttonous life and died early because of it. He figured it just didn’t matter since he would be conscious in a Universe that gave him a maximum lifespan.
Some people need a proverbial infinite number of monkeys to avoid the thought of Shakespeare.
Interesting question, but I believe the multiverse is different from many worlds, though I suppose the question could be applied to either.
Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we’ll still be alive in some other universe.
My belief is that each action creates a different timeline. That different timeline is a parallel universe. That happens for each action by each person every second.
Some of these timelines may be dead ends while others have long lives. Maybe Sci-Fi but food for thought.
I think it is pretty obvious we live in a computer simulation program. With prizes at the end for those who fulfill the quest.

What if, however, that all the possibilities exist at the same time, but your soul, based on free will, chooses where it will be?
The night before the 2016 election, I consciously chose not to be in a reality in which SHE was president. I woke up the next day, and I had moved to a reality where she wasn’t. I’ve been hearing “how is this possible” “this wasn’t supposed to happen” etc. for quite some time now. I claim free will moved me from that horror by shifting the universe in which my soul exists.
Somewhere, in some dystopian hell hole of a dimension, She reigns and there is universal despair and misery.
Did they ever mention what caused the worlds to separate? In what way are they separate?
So physics is indistinguishable from Theosophy now. Cool. I’ll remember that every time that @$$ Dawson opens his nasty mouth.
This is, statistically, the most likely. That we are a simulation.
Also, there are a lot of people in this thread who don’t know a damn thing about quantum physics.
