This paper examines if the worlds depicted in anime series with their physics-defying events can exist in parallel worlds. Considering the Copenhagen Interpretation adopts the notion of wavefunction collapse, it is incompatible with the possibility of alternate universes existing. Thus, the Many Worlds Interpretation, which denies the possibility of this collapse and therefore allows other worlds to exist beyond ours, is adopted to argue that worlds parallel to ours with significantly different physical laws are highly unlikely to exist.

In quantum mechanics, besides the Copenhagen interpretation where the wave function collapses upon observation to yield a single measurement value, there is the many-worlds interpretation initiated by Everett. If this many-worlds interpretation is correct, it implies that the real world splits into many, leading to the existence of so-called branching universes (parallel universes). Traditionally, it has been considered impossible to prove this existence, but I have discovered that it can logically be demonstrated by conducting experiments like the ones outlined below. Therefore, in order to deepen our understanding of the universe, I would like to have individuals with the necessary technology and knowledge carry out this experiment to prove the existence of branching universes.
The many Worlds Interpretation postulates that the universal wave function exists and never collapses unlike the Copenhagen Interpretation. Instead, all possible outcomes of the measurement are realized in isolated parts of the wave function. These parts create the “worlds”. There must be an infinite number of these worlds due to the probabilistic paradoxes caused by having equally real worlds. On the other hand, each spatial dimension consists of an infinite number of the lower spatial dimension. Meaning an n dimensional world consists of an infinite number of (n-1) dimensional worlds. The universal wave function could be 4 dimensional which would explain why these 3-dimensional worlds are isolated. This claim will be further supported with Schrödinger Equation simulations. The 4-dimensional Schrödinger Equation will present a better fit to the Many Worlds Interpretation than the 3-dimensional Schrödinger Equation since it will provide a solution to the statistical paradoxes posed by the interpretation by postulating an infinite number of worlds.
Have you ever watched superhero movies like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse? Or played games where your choices create different outcomes? What if we told you that in the real world, something even crazier might be happening all the time, right under our noses? Imagine shrinking down to the size of an atom. What you'd see wouldn't be like our everyday world at all! This is the realm of quantum physics, where the rules we know do not apply, where things exist everywhere and nowhere at once. The moment you observe something, it starts behaving differently. In this article, we will explore two of the many possible explanations for such phenomena, namely the Copenhagen interpretation and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics. We will also try to answer the question of whether there are many copies of you roaming around in different universes, and why you haven't met one.
The Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) famously avoids the issue of wave function collapse. Different MWI trees representing the same quantum events can have different topologies, depending upon the observer. However, they are all isomorphic to the group of block universes containing all of the outcomes of all of the events, and so, in that sense, the group of block universes is a more fundamental representation. Different branches of the MWI tree, representing different universes in MWI, ultimately share the same quantum state in a common ancestor branch. This branching topology is incompatible with that of the Minkowski block universe; the resolution is to replace the branches with discrete, parallel block universes, each of which extends from the trunk to the outermost twigs. The number of universes in a branch is proportional to its thickness which, in turn, depends upon the absolute square of the probability amplitude for the state in that branch. Every quantum event may be represented by a kernel of universes, which is the smallest group of universes that will reproduce the quantum probabilities of the outcomes of that event. By considering the ratios of the probabilities of the outcomes of any event, it can be shown that the number of universes in every kernel must finite, as must be the total number of universes in the multiverse. Further, every universe in the multiverse must be finite both in space and time. Another consequence is that quantum probabilities must be rational, which suggests that quantum mechanics is only an approximation to a discrete theory. A corollary is that not every conceivable universe exists in the multiverse, no doubt to the disappointment of those who enjoy alternate-history novels.
The modern version of the wave-function collapse in quantum mechanics is based on decoherence and leads to the multiverse interpretation of quantum mechanics. The decoherence causes the universe to develop an emergent branching structure. One can interpret the branching structure either as a tree structure or as parallel different histories. Time is not continuous since there are no measurable continuous in quantum physics. Notion of continuous range of possible values of time is just an idealization. The same goes with the direction of time that is a prior assumption based on the branching structure of the multiverse. The multiverse does not exist in external space nor time since there is nothing more beside it. The observer's mind should be not in a superposition with himself. Because of this, in the Many-minds interpretations it is argued that the distinction between worlds should be made at the level of the individual observer. The human bodies are in a superposition, but the minds have definite states that are never in superposition. All possible lives, personalities that do not violate the laws of physics are facts since they represent a valid history in the multiverse. We are one of this possible personalities. Our choices are defined by our personality explained to us by our mind, our consciousness is the unchangeable part of us. It is nonphysical and it senses the world. It does not interact with the brain in the other way beside it.
Abstract The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) is a theory in physics which proposes that, rather than quantum-level events being resolved randomly as according to the Copenhagen Interpretation, the universe constantly divides into different versions or worlds. All physically possible worlds occur, though some outcomes are more likely than others, and therefore all possible histories exist. This paper explores some implications of this for history, especially concerning causation. Unlike counterfactuals, which concern different starting conditions, MWI concerns different outcomes of the same starting conditions. It is argued that analysis of causation needs to take into account the divergence of outcomes and the possibility that we inhabit a less probable world. Another implication of MWI is convergent history: for any given world there will be similar worlds which are the result of different pasts which are, however, more or less probable. MWI can assist in thinking about historical causation and indicates the importance of probabilistic causation.
