The Universe Is Splitting - And That's Perfectly Normal
What if reality isn't what it seems? What if, every time you make a decision, the universe splits into multiple branches - one where you turned left, another where you turned right? This isn't science fiction but the essence of the Many-Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, arguably physics' most elegant explanation for the bizarre behavior of subatomic particles. While quantum mechanics powers everything from your smartphone to nuclear energy, its deeper meaning has puzzled scientists for a century. Sean Carroll's perspective offers a provocative solution: reality is a vast, branching wave function where all quantum possibilities actually happen - just in different branches of an ever-expanding cosmic tree. And surprisingly, this mind-bending view might be the simplest explanation for how our universe works.
