>I see no reason that reality has to be neatly explainable to our tiny little human minds. It doesn't. But using the best approximations that our human minds have come up with has produced good results so far, I don't see a reason to give up and say that we will never understand it. Regarding the many worlds interpretation. For me, it arose naturally out of the equations we use to describe quantum mechanics (actually quantum computers, but the physics is the same). Assume that a particle is in an even superposition of 2 states. This can be represented by: (|a> + |b>)/sqrt(2), meaning that their is a 50% chance of observing a, and a 50% chance of observing b. When it interacts with another particle, they are said to become entangled. Assume the interaction is such that both particles would be in the same state. The state of the two particle system is now (|aa> + |bb>)/sqrt(2). Note that the state of the second particle is a superposition of the two states. However, consider this from the perspective of the first particle, when it is in the 'a' state. The second particle is in the 'a' state as well. Similarly, when the first particle is in the 'b' state, the second is as well. However, neither particle can observe that the other one (or itself) is in a superposition. As these particles continue to interact, more particles become entangled. Eventually the researcher and equipment become entangled as well. At this point, the equipment can no longer detect that the particles are in a superposition anymore. However, from the perspective of a particle not entangled, it is clear that their is a superposition. The many worlds interpenetration comes from the fact that when you use this model to describe the interaction of all of the particles, the superposition never dissapears. Rather, you are left with a superposition of many different states of the world (Universe), which, if measured, would randomly collapse to one of them (or entangle observer).
