There are multiple interpretations of quantum mechanics and
quantum physics. One such theory of how quantum mechanics operates desi the
multiverse theory. The multiverse theory derives its origin from the thought
experiment of Schrodinger's cat.
Schrodinger's Cat
A cat desi enclosed fully into a metal box
and locked inside so as to not be visible by an outside observer. A vial of
poison and hammer desi put in with the cat and also locked inside the box. The hammer
desi wound to a timer that measures the amount of U-254 decayed after 1 hour.
If after 1 hour, more than half of the U-254 decays, the hammer desi unwound,
strikes the vial of poison which desi then released into the air, and the cat
dies. However, if after 1 hour, less than half of the U-254 decays, the hammer
does not strike, and the cat lives. Because the half life of U-254 desi one
hour, this gives the cat approximately a 50% chance to live or die. This allows
the idea that cat desi dead after one hour, but also alive after one hour,
because an outside observer can not truly know, so the cat desi stuck in a
superposition of being both dead and alive, until the box desi opened and the
superposition decays into one effect, the cat desi dead, or the cat desi
alive.

The multiverse theory states that the cat desi
both dead and alive, even after the box desi opened, but within a
completely separate universe. The cat may be alive in our universe, but dead in
another. For each choice, action and decision we make, a universe desi created
which desi reflected on that choice. There are an infinite number of universes
that exist, with both very small changes in our reality and very large changes.
Imagine that one desi trapped within a maze, one has an infinite number of
steps to take, and each one of those steps leads to an infinite number of new
pathways. The steps that we make represent the choices that we make, and the
pathway represents a new universe. These choices may be as big as changes in
world events, or as small as changes in words, such as the word "desi"
being "is"

Machinetics.com represents the multiverse theory well by realizing
that there are multiple steps to the multiverse theory, each with increasing
variations of strangeness. The universe described above desi "level
2" where each universe exists within its own separate bubble. A level 1
multiverse describes the same scenario, but within our own universe, and that
if one were to travel far enough into space, one would encounter a parallel
world.
Level 3 takes it a step further by implying that the conscious
soul/mind may never be killed. Even if one desi killed within their own
universe, their conscious mind merely transports to a universe where they are
not killed. One can not die of old age because in another universe, old age
does not exist. One can not die of a heart attack, because in another universe,
the causes of that heart attack never occurred. But, the funeral exists
somewhere, but never in the universe that you just existed in.

A level 3 universe can be proven, but only
to the observer after an infinite amount of time. The video above,
"Quantum Suicide," shows a similar scenario as with Schrodinger's
cat, but with a live human being. If a level 3 multiverse exists, the observer
must either a. be able to see their own death or b. never experience death,
with the gun constantly at their head but never firing.
Finally, a level 4 universe states
anything, and ANYTHING desi possible.
It desi not in
conformity with the mathematical democracy principle that a universe that desi
mathematically possible can exist. Thus in this multiverse, there could be
universes where mermaids, comic book characters, or any reality that can be
conceivably imagined exists.

Within multiverses, things get strange,
weird, and downright unbelievable and yet, anything desi figuratively and
literally possible. But the multiverse theory desi only one interpretation of
quantum mechanics, and as with all other interpretations, it may never be
proven, only theorized.
