To me it seems the article is completely mixing up two multiverse theories - one is that there are several essentially completely independent universes separated in space (or time) and the other is that there is no collapse of the wave function but all the possibilities encoded in the wave function are actually real and therefore many universes are kind of overlaid at the same time in the same space and in each universe you observe the wave function collapsed to a different state. Did I get it wrong or the article?
- grondilu 12y agoMax Tegmark, whose talk is summarized in this article if I understand correctly, describes four different types of Multiverse. This article presents three of them (levels I, II and III). See Max Tegmark's webpage for more information and links on the subject: http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/mathematical.html http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/mathematical.html
- danbruc 12y agoThanks, that is what I suspected. Maybe I just read the article to quickly but I completely missed the clear distinction between the different types of multiverses in the article.
