many-worlds

The many-worlds interpretation suggests that all possible outcomes of a quantum event happen, but in separate, parallel realities or "worlds." When a measurement occurs, instead of collapsing into one result, the universe splits into multiple branches, each representing a different outcome. This means every possible version of events exists simultaneously in a vast, branching multiverse. Essentially, all outcomes are realized, but in different worlds, providing a way to understand quantum phenomena without needing wave function collapse or randomness, offering a deterministic view of the universe's underlying structure.
