The cosmos splits into parallel universes
in which all conceivable outcomes of all
events take place; the universe is a part
of a larger multiverse

Quantum mechanics equations say
the cosmos exists in different states
simultaneously, superposition states
collapse into a single state

Electrons and photons remain in super-
position states, yet large objects do not
explained in Schrödinger's cat experi-
ment, a vial of poison breaking open

When a radioactive atom decays in a
sealed box - all in superposition states:
decayed & not decayed, broken & un-
broken, dead and alive at the same time

The entire Universe exists in superposition
states that leak away to leave what we see,
there is a ‘volume of space’ containing all
information in the universe

And all things with which the universe will
interact in the future - a causal patch’ region –
our universe is one causal patch among many
- a cosmos of differing regions

Inside a big multiverse, information leaking
from our causal patch into others, our universe
decoheres into the state we observe, Bousso and
Susskind thus explains the -

Many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, the
cosmos splits into multiple parallel identical universes:
in one the cat survives and in another the cat dies in an in-
finite number of parallel universes

Where all conceivable outcomes of all events actually
Happen – called alternative realities splitting from other
universes; the global multiverse represents the many-
worlds theory in a single geometry

The Multiverse Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
leads to a place where the Multiverse and
Many-Worlds collide
