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.

What the fuck is this comment

I welcome a discussion. To be honest, I had to object to someone saying they were fair & balanced in their own honest opinions. I am quite sure we all would like to believe we are. Absolutely and without a doubt. However when I mentioned (To this individual, my favorite bartender in the world) my disapproval of Joe Rogan. He says that Joe gives everyone an equal voice. I do not agree with that statement. I don’t think that perspectives that are contrary to known science are worthy of the platform given to them via a most listened to podcast. There is enough stupid in the world & if someone polishes a turd long enough, some stupid mf’er is gonna buy it. It’s about listenership not deep perceptions.

I don’t know shit about deep science. But I have a modicum of respect & perhaps faith in those that do. When science is kneecapped. We are in a Fton of trouble. Eroding faith in the learned mechanics is paramount to the plan of de establishment. It’s so sad what these humans in the “United” states have chosen.

That's fine but you might be slightly schizophrenic or something

Or you may be a bot. Lol. I don’t really care because if a bot takes umbrage with late night, half drunk posts, that’s your issue. Good luck & Good night.
