Sounds reasonable to me. Let me guess, only thing not stupid is darwinism and big bang?

Well done. You copped on.

holy shit you're dense
you're implying that natural selection and cosmic inflation are stupid while suggesting that the world works like a Minecraft game
if you're so fucking smart go build a time machine, travel backwards 14 years and abort yourself

Not OP here but CAAAN do :D

the idea that many-worlds involves active "universes popping up" is a common misunderstanding. many-worlds is literally just what you get when you assume that quantum mechanics scales up as-is to describe the whole universe, not just sufficiently-small stuff which we aren't looking at. quantum mechanics already has all of the math for describing a system of multiple particles; if you treat the entire universe as a system of particles, then many-worlds is literally just "and then that giant system of particles obeys the laws of quantum mechanics". this is "many-worlds" because it means that the entire universe is in superposition, same as how with collapse, tiny systems are in superposition.
I mean, I guess if you feel like really big systems obeying the same laws as really small systems is too WEIRD and SUPERNATURAL, you might have an issue with that

>But, what is it about taking a measurement that makes this happen?
Sort of because it involves interacting with the system but people don't really know

>How do we "know" that the universe was not in that state prior to measurement?
We don't but there are ways of showing that if the universe was already primed in that state prior to measurement without an inherent uncertainty then the idea of locality must be thrown out of the window.
