"Making the wave function be a real thing solves this measurement problem in the Copenhagen interpretation, because it stops measurement from being this super-special process that destroys the wave function. Instead, what we call a measurement is really just a long series of quantum particles and wave functions interacting with other quantum particles and wave functions."

There is no such thing as a multiverse. It was invented to explain how it was impossible mathematically for life to have spontaneously arisen from our universe through time and chance alone. If there are infinite univereses and infinite time then we don’t need God.

I would say He might be extremely helpful in figuring it all out, since it was all His idea in the first place.

If there are infinite number of universes, wouldn’t one finally allow an omnipotent God that would have dominion over them all?

Sure, but this is not science. Science is about the observable. “Other universes” are not observable, so you can’t do science about them. It is science-fiction.

There is ONE universe. “UNI” is from Latin for ONE.

Who made the infinite universes?

It comes from the ancient Latin word Universum. Not exactly the latest science.

I don't think you understand. This is complete fiction. There is no proof or evidence. This theory of "multiverse" was conceived of and promulgated by an avowed atheist, Hugh Everett. To be blunt it has been promoted by a culture in which the existence of God is met with scorn and vitriol. In our one universe it is mathematically impossible for all the conditions needed for existence to have come into being randomly. Impossible. There MUST have been a creator or an intelligence. That idea cannot stand among the Godless masses so the "multiverse" is there to allow people to continue to deny God.

Well there are not an infinite number of universes. The "theory" of the multiverse basically pretends that due to some physical phenomena that universes are somehow generated infinitely. Most of the "universes" are wortheless...i.e. conditions for self sustainment and life are not met. But of course if there are an infinite number then at least ONE of them will be randomly perfect. That's how "science" explains the impossibility of our universe and of life itself without a creator.

That’s the second concept of a ‘multiverse’, which I think was invented later. The article is talking about the first concept which came about as one interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Same reason there are not more then two genders. It's simply lost souls trying to explain a miraculous world created by a loving God.
