I guess I’ve always been confused by the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Physics and the fact that it’s taken seriously. Like is there any proof at all that universes outside of our own exist?

I admit that I might be dumb, but, how does one look at atoms and say “My God! There must be many worlds than just our one?”

I just never understood how Many Worlds Interpretation was valid, with my, admittedly limited understanding, it just seemed to be a wild guess no more strange than a lot things we consider too outlandish to humor.

    but it unfortunately is taken seriously

    Why is that unfortunate? It’s an extremely well justified theory.

    It tells you all the weirdness is fundamental and no further thought is required.

    I’m not sure why you say this? If anything, that’s a description of Copenhagen, which MWI is a response to.
