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.

I heard about that too. Its absolutely mind blowing when you realise, that we are able to build chips on such a small scale (and not just for special chips but for relatively common chips), that we are dipping into the realm of quantum physics causing all sorts of problems.
