The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics

Decoherence Explains Branching Worlds (1x10)


Air date: Nov 24, 2023

Focus on decoherence, which does the same work in Many-Worlds as the collapse of the wave function in the Copenhagen Interpretation. Both explain what happens when a measurement is made, but in Many-Worlds the mechanism is more consistent with the underlying physics. Then, see how decoherence is the gateway to multiple branching worlds, which differ from the cosmological idea of the multiverse.
