Meet the scientist who thinks we all exist in multiple universes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\"Meet<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever laid wide-awake in the late hours of the night wondering what your life would look like if you took that other job, moved countries, or ended up with someone else? While there\u2019s no definite answer \u2014 and probably never will be \u2014 the idea that there\u2019s multiple versions of you, living in various universes, isn\u2019t as make-believe as you might think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sean Carroll, a theoretical physicist at the\u00a0California Institute of Technology<\/a>\u00a0and author of\u00a0Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime<\/em><\/a>, the theory of\u00a0Many Worlds Interpretation<\/a>\u00a0suggests every important event has multiple possible outcomes and splits the world into alternate realities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mind-bending idea originally came from\u00a0Hugh Everett<\/a>, a graduate student who wrote just one paper in the 1950s. Everett\u2019s theory describes the universe as a changing set of numbers, known as the wave function. According to Many Worlds, the universe continually splits into new branches, to produce multiple versions of ourselves. Carroll argues that, so far, this interpretation is the simplest possible explanation of quantum mechanics.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
