Reading up on decoherence, the phenomenon itself doesn't lead to a many worlds hypothesis but allows for the conjecture of many worlds. Information becoming immeasurable/irretrievable is not proof in and of itself of a multiverse.
I have some modest undergraduate work in modern Physics, I think you may be taking the dominant voice on the physicsforums.com at face value when there's a high potential for self-selection bias in online forums. Going back to the experiment evidence and underlying mathematics there just hasn't been a breakthrough of any sorts.
- akvadrako 10y agoThe point is more that there is no need for a breakthrough, because there is no need to postulate a mechanism for actual collapse, since decoherence is sufficient to explain the results of experiments. I'm not sure what your argument is, but nobody is proving a multiverse, it's just an observation.
