    Fun fact: while mainstream quantum mechanics says the cat’s superposition collapses when it observes the vial of poison, many worlds theory says the cat stays in superposition, and so do you once you open the box. In fact, the entire universe is a waveform in superposition.

      Tbf, one can assert that observation is an entanglement with the observed wave function without needing different universes.

      Sometimes it’s very difficult to believe that they’re not just making it all up based on nothing while SUPER high.

        It’s more like they’re taking an overly literal interpretation of highly abstracted and complex math. Some physicists want the universe to be mysterious and strange, but that holds them back from seeing the deeper mysteries and strangeness because they get stuck on their pet interpretation.
