What is the theory behind parallel universes?
The theory basically holds that whenever a wave-function is supposed to collapse in the Copenhagen interpretation at some uncertain point in a measurement, instead the universe splits into several universes, each of which contains one of the outcomes of the measurement, and which one we happen to land in is demonstrated probabilistically by the mathematics of quantum mechanics. None of the occupants of any of the universes are aware of the splitting, and none can be made aware of the occupants of any other universe. While the theory is still regarded with some interest and does resolve problems of its own, some of its structural inconsistencies and, moreover, the necessity to assume entities of which no experiment can ever measure -other universes, seems to indicate that the theory is unlikely to be extremely successful in the near future. For science relies on experimental proof, and experimental falsification as the other side of the coin- how can we validate a theory whose usage pre
