This research aimed to achieve 2 primary objectives: 1) To study Schrödinger's cat theory and the concept of multiverses, 2) to analyze the interpretations of Schrödinger's cat theory and the concept of multiverses. The data analysis is descriptive.The research results were as follows:1. Schrödinger's cat theory and the Multiverse concept have shown that Schrödinger's Cat theory is a thought experiment in quantum mechanics proposed by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger. It describes the simultaneous multiple states of an atom or entity until it is observed or measured. For instance, in the famous cat-in-a-box experiment, before measurement, the cat exists in a state of both being alive and dead simultaneously, leading to a complex reality in its state. Physicist Hugh Everett later introduced the Many-Worlds Interpretation to address the complexities, giving rise to the concept of parallel universes and the Multiverse.2. When interpreting Schrödinger's cat theory and the multiverse concept, it was discovered that within the framework of Western physics, they involve deductive reasoning and fall into the category of quantity and approximation. However, when interpreted within the framework of Indian metaphysical philosophy, they are associated with inductive reasoning and belong to the category of inference and approximation. This contrast highlights how Schrödinger's Cat theory can be a valuable philosophical tool for discussing ideas related to parallel universes and the Multiverse, especially when considering different approaches to interpretation.These findings shed light on the significance of Schrödinger's Cat theory as a philosophical instrument for exploring the concepts of parallel universes and the Multiverse and for considering the possibilities of diverse states for events occurring simultaneously, even when we only observe a fraction of them.

This research article aimed to: 1) examine Erwin Schrödinger’s philosophical conception of the multiverse, 2) examine Hugh Everett’s philosophical conception of the multiverse, and 3) analyze and compare the arguments underpinning Schrödinger’s and Everett’s philosophical concepts of the multiverse. This study is documentary research. The research found that: Erwin Schrödinger’s Multiverse: Schrödinger’s interpretation of the multiverse is grounded in Western logical traditions and employs inductive reasoning. He elucidates the superposition of states in both objects and living beings, proposing that such superpositions collapse into a definite state upon measurement or observation. Hugh Everett’s Multiverse: According to Everett, the universe emerges from the outcomes of distinct measurements, resulting in the creation of parallel universes. Observers experience the outcome corresponding to their respective universe, wherein each state exists independently. Proposed Theory: The researcher introduces the Twelve-Dimensional Interconnected Illusory Universes Theory, developed through a philosophical synthesis of Schrödinger’s and Everett’s multiverse concepts. This theory serves as a framework linking physical theories with philosophical interpretations. The proposed theory corresponds with Buddhist philosophy, including the Cūḷanikā Sūtra, which discusses innumerable and boundless world-systems (lokadhātu) that arise and dissolve without fixed forms; the Laṅkāvatāra Sātra, which addresses the creation of the universe through the mind; and the Avaṭaṃsaka Sūtra, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of phenomena. Furthermore, the theory integrates the concepts of śūnyatā (emptiness) and paṭiccasamuppāda (dependent origination), illustrating inter-universal influence. This synthesis provides diverse perspectives on the nature of reality, mind, and perception, thereby fostering the development of knowledge and a more profound cosmic understanding.
Quantum mechanics is an important understanding of modern physics, and one of China’s first quantum experimental satellites is also launched in July of this year, but around the confusion about the interpretation of quantum philosophy, yet there has not a perfect answer today. “Schrodinger’s cat” is put forward by the Austrian physicist Schrodinger in 1935; it is a name for a quantum state, its production not only has its specific physical incentives, but also has the corresponding philosophical roots. Everett, the author of the “multi-world explanation”, explains that the explanation of “multi-world explanation” to the quantum philosophy from the point of view of Schrodinger’s cat in physics has not only helped us understand the nature of quantum mechanics, to solve the philosophical controversy that has revolved around quantum mechanics, but also deepened our understanding of multi-world interpretations where physics and philosophy blend. This article starts with the famous experiment Schrödinger’s Cat and then tells us two well-known answers to quantum mechanics in the history, that is the Copenhagen Interpretation and the Multi-World Interpretation. By comparing the differences between the two, it emphasis on the correctness of the “multi-world interpretation”. Then it can deepen our understanding of the concept of “Schrodinger’s Cat”, “Quantum Mechanics” and multi-world interpretations.
Quantum mechanics provides us most fundamental descriptions of our most early universe, but there is a long-standing debate amongst theoretical physicists about what all these mathematics really mean in real world? The present three-dimensional (3D) universe, we humans experience daily since our birth, is probably just one of an enormous numbers of essentially classical worlds, and all quantum phenomena arise from a universal force of repulsions that prevented many universes (Multiverse) from having identical physical configurations like ours. Probabilities arise only because of our human ignorance as to which in our world an observer occupies a position in space time. This picture is all that is needed to explain bizarre quantum effects such as particles that can tunnel through solid barriers and wave behavior in double-slit experiments or in a warm hole. Our many-interacting-universes approach hinges on our assumption that interactions between deterministically evolving worlds cause all quantum effects. Each world is simply the position of particles in three-dimensional space time, and each would evolve according to Newton’s laws, if there were no inter world interactions. A surprising feature of human approach was that the formulation contains nothing that corresponds to the mysterious quantum wave functions, except in the formal mathematical limit in which the number of worlds becomes infinitely large. Conversely, Newtonian mechanics corresponds to the opposite limit of just one world. Thus, our approach should incorporate both classical and quantum theory. As few as two interacting worlds can result in quantum like effects, such as tunneling through a barrier. Many interacting worlds theory (MIW) explains that rather than standing apart, an infinite number of universes in the early time shared the same space and time as ours. They show that the theory can explain quantum mechanical effects while leaving open the choice of theory to explain the universe at large scales. This is a fascinating new variant of multiverse theory that, in a sense, creates not just a doppelganger of everyone but an infinite number of them all overlaying each other in the same space and time. The fine tuning of parameters required to reproduce our present day universe suggests that our universe may simply be a region within an eternally inflating super-region. Many other regions beyond our observable universe might have existed in earlier times with each such universe governed by a different set of physical parameters and laws. Collision between these regions, if they occurred, should have left signatures of anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) but have not been seen yet. We assess different mechanisms for this residual emission and conclude that although there is a 30% probability that noise fluctuations may cause foregrounds to fall within 3σ of the excess, there is less than a 0.5% probability that foregrounds can explain all the excess. A plausible explanation is that the collision of our universe with an alternate universe, whose baryon to photon ratio is a factor of ∼ 4500 larger than ours, could produce enhanced Hydrogen Paschen-series emission at the epoch of recombination. Future spectral mapping and deeper observations at 100 and 217 GHz are needed to mitigate systematics arising from unknown galactic foregrounds and to confirm this unusual hypothesis. After careful analysis of the spectrum of the CMB, Chary et al. found a signal that was about 4500x brighter than it should have been, based on the number of protons and electrons. Scientists believe that this existed in the very early universe. Indeed, this particular signal, an emission line that arose from the formation of atoms during the era of recombination is more consistent with a universe whose ratio of matter particles to photons is about 65x greater than our own. There is a 30% chance that this mysterious signal is just noise, and not really, a signal at all; however, it is also possible that it is real, and exists as a parallel universe.

This article aims to reconsider E. Schrödinger's famous thought experiment, the cat paradox experiment, and its place in quantum foundations from a new perspective, grounded in the type of interpretation of quantum phenomena and quantum mechanics, which belongs to the class of interpretations designated here as "reality without realism" (RWR) interpretations. Such interpretations have not been previously brought to bear on the cat experiment, including by N. Bohr, whose interpretation in its ultimate forms (as he changes his interpretation a few times) is an RWR interpretation, but who does not appear to have commented on the cat experiment. The interpretation adopted in this articles follows Bohr's interpretation, as based on two assumptions or postulates, the Heisenberg and Bohr postulates, but it adds a third postulate, the Dirac postulate. The article also introduces, in conjunction with the concept of reality without realism, the concepts of visible and invisible to thought and considers their role in the cat-paradox experiment.
Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment profoundly reveals the fundamental tension between the principle of quantum superposition and macroscopic classicalreality. This paper systematically elaborates six emerging mathematical-physicalframeworks aimed at reconstructing this paradox: Dynamic Time Algebra, PostMarkovian Paradigm, Temporal Layer Causal Evolution Theory, Chronogroup Framework, Chronological Fiber Category Theory, and Origin of Order Theory. Thesetheories respectively start from algebraic, logical, homological, group-theoretic, categorical, and thermodynamic structures, demonstrating the essential reasons whymacroscopic systems cannot maintain quantum superpositions. They collectivelypoint to a core viewpoint: the classical state of the cat is not determined by theexternal observer’s ”looking”, but is spontaneously completed by an internal ”selfstabilization mechanism” initiated by the system itself before the observer’s intervention, in order to repair the ”structural fracture” at the micro-macro interface.The core contribution of this paper is to reveal that these six theories are not isolated but are manifestations of the same underlying physical process under differentmathematical projections. By analyzing their unification theorems, core mechanisms, and experimentally testable predictions (such as entropy production pulses,logical afterimages, critical slowing down, etc.), this paper provides a self-consistentstructural answer to the quantum measurement problem without introducing thecollapse postulate or many-world branches.
The first famous thought experiment of Einstein gives rise to his theories of relativity, the bedrock of modern astrophysics and cosmology. His second famous thought experiment begins the investigation into the foundations of quantum mechanics. It leads to a paradox, inspiring various 'no-go' theorems proven by Bell, Kochen, and Specker. Physicists and philosophers worldwide become increasingly dissatisfied with the probabilistic complementarity interpretation (Born-Bohr) and eventually offer their own accounts of the theory. By the end of the 20th century two alternative approaches stand out as the best candidates: Both the hidden variables interpretation (de Broglie-Bohm) and the many worlds interpretation (Everett-DeWitt) give compelling descriptions of what the true nature of quantum reality could be. In this paper, a chronological overview of all these events is given, followed by a philosophical analysis of the three aforementioned interpretations. Ultimately it is concluded that the many worlds interpretation should be adopted as the best understanding of the formalism of quantum mechanics and, therefore, should be used in the multiversity textbooks.
