Endless Versions of You in Endless Parallel Universes? A Growing Number of Physicists Embrace the Idea.

The Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics holds that reality is constantly splitting.

Conventionally speaking, there is a single physicist named Sean Carroll at Caltech, busily puzzling over the nature of the quantum world. In the theoretical sense, though, he may be one of a multitude, each existing in its own world. And there’s nothing unique about him: Every person, rock, and particle in the universe participates in an endlessly branching reality, Carroll argues, splitting into alternate versions whenever an event occurs that has multiple possible outcomes.
