What the corpus says
The throughline across every conversation that touches this idea.
Sean Carroll argues that the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is simpler and more elegant than wave function collapse theories.
Hilbert space, the mathematical space of quantum wave functions, is estimated to have a dimensionality of 10^10^122, vastly exceeding the number of particles in the universe.
The many worlds interpretation suggests that new worlds are created whenever a quantum system in superposition entangles with the external world.
Carroll emphasizes that the arrow of time is emergent and not embedded in the fundamental laws of physics.
