vsauce has video about physical laws and their role in universe as explanations. Michael tells the same - laws are not the reasons of events in universe. They are just assuming the relationship in-between. He tells about nail in the desk and the shadow from it. Length of the shadow is determined by physical laws and depends on height of the nail. You could even calculate the height of the nail by knowing length of the shadow and position of light. This is the law. BUT length of the shadow isn't a _reason_ for height of nail. Nail's height isn't caused by length of its shadow. These values are tangled but not in cause-effect way. It's just our way to describe relationship in-between. Absolutely real and existing relations but NOT the reasons of things. You're talking exactly about the same. Our math is the way to find out relations and consequences, not the way to discover the reasons. And our theories are always just a models. Robert Anton Wilson tells us not to mess territory and its map :) Laws of physics are our map of reality. It's not a good idea to mess it with reality itself :) Maps are useful are reflects real things but they are just a models.

If we actually create a portal into a parallel world, it just shows that all the particles that are interacting in both versions exist in superposition while observing, which is not possible according to Schrodinger's equation.

Then again, I can now definitely appreciate that this is no fault of Veritasium, this is probably the easiest to understand in-depth explanation of the Many Worlds Interpretation on KZbin. Quantum mechanics is just fundamentally complicated, it will pretty much never be easy to explain because it's just so difficult to compare conceptually to anything we see in our real world. Have to give a lot of credit to Veritasium for even taking on video subjects like these, most education channels as big as his will try to stay a lot more entry level to reach mass appeal(nothing wrong with that to be clear), but it's definitely nice to have a high quality KZbin channel that goes a level deeper rather than having to resort to reading scientific journals and such to learn about these types of subjects.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someday we find out that the universe is infinitely big or ever expanding in all dimensions, not just in distance or time. Maybe all we are is some sort of energy that simply exists, and everything that happens(including its existence) can be described as entropy. That way it makes sense how the Big Bang happened without anything “prior”, since we all are just waves of energy and it simply transcends states infinitely. So maybe everything is infinite in infinite ways that it could be infinite(like the multiverse theory). Then perhaps physics could be treated as math

"You have to remember that the whole idea of branching, is just a human convenience." I think this statement is an important thing to communicate for people to even begin to understand concepts like this. We as humans have to use our limited experience of the universe to apply reason to stuff that is outside our area of comprehension. We can't comprehend scale without a frame of reference for example. You can say the sun is 93 million miles away, but if you don't scale that down to something small enough to understand (like the distance from Chicago to New York), you might as well make up a number because it's impossible to picture that. What we describe as "multiple worlds" with near infinite possibilities where everything we could have done has has happened, is really just us creating a frame of reference to understand it. It isn't the reality of how it works, it's just a way to comprehend it.

Depends. It may not have any probability of happening. It's not every "imaginable" scenario, just a whole bunch of them.

[@BugRib]

Danny West - Given the trillions (at the very least) of copies of himself that branch off every second, the range of possibilities-for everyone, not just Carrol-is extreme! If Many Worlds is true (and I don’t think it is), I’d say there’s a 99.99999999% chance that there’s a Sean Carrol who ate his own mother, live on national television, but only had to serve one week in prison. He then went on to cure cancer, build an interstellar spaceship in his backyard out of popsicle sticks and dog feces, then became President of the USA, before finally eating his father on national television and then giving himself a Presidential pardon. Also, this version of Sean has three eyes (all different colors), and hair growing out of his tongue. And their are literally trillions of similar Seans “out there”. The end. Oh, and he’s married to Michael Jackson, who’s still alive (and an admitted child molester) in this (series of) branch(es). The actual end.

[@toasterr4238]

@@BugRib there's some technical misconception there (certain things are just literally impossible) but I admire your creativity.

[@BugRib]

Toaster R - None of it violates the laws of physics, and I don’t see why any of it would be inconsistent with the starting conditions at the Big Bang along with quantum “randomness”. _EXTREMELY_ unlikely for any given branch, but not unlikely for 10^367 (or whatever) branches per second across the whole universe. It’s ultimately just every different arrangement of particles and atoms that is logically possible, doesn’t violate physics, and is consistent with the starting conditions. I suspect that Sean Carrol would have to admit that it’s likely a reality. (note: I’m not a physicist, and my understanding of QM is severely lacking.)

[@ObjectsInMotion]

Ryan Clark Everything humans can imagine is much broader than anything that is possible. For example, fire was required to discover iron, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a civilization in the Iron Age that hasn’t discovered fire. Likewise, Sean Carrol HAD to have been born in the 20th century, otherwise he wouldn’t have the same parents, wouldn’t look the same, wouldn’t have the same upbringing, etc, so you couldn’t call him Sean Carrol. Likewise, curing cancer may one day REQUIRE technologies that currently don’t exist, like iron absolutely needing fire. And because of this, it may be impossible for cancer to be fully cured before the 21st century unless a significant change in history occurred (one which would make the population of people very different). In this sense, it may be PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Sean Carrol to have cured cancer in ANY timeline, and thus no Sean Carrol exists. Just because you can’t immediately think of how something violates physics, doesn’t mean it doesn’t. And the more complex the system, the more likely it is.

Also, all died are to cross a bridge under it is a river called ‘memory-erasing water’ and once a person walks across this bridge he/she will immediately forget whatever did in the past life, good or bad, like shuffling a deck of cards.

Which would mean that entanglement would instantiate at a much, much higher rate than humanly imaginable; if imagination only meant to attempt a perfect understanding surrounding every aspect of a variable rather than what is necessarily useful like relative positions in comparison to other objects of note, temperature, frequency etc. (sorry for that last tangent, just needed to clarify the semantics to myself.)

Anything smaller than a planck length or time is irrelevant

Infinite amount of possibilities created at the smallest component of possible change of time, this might as well be infinite.

Yes even smaller than nanosecond , imagine nanosecond is as big as a light year and you are trying to find a nano second , and do it for an infinity

[@mxx720]

The problem with using a cat in Schrodinger's experiment is that we say it's unknown whether the cat is alive or dead unless observed, so it's "both". But the cat is a live subject, so it has an inside perspective of being alive (or the process of dying). It might not know why we put it in there, but it's still observing its surroundings. A less sentient being might be a better example.

[@greenguard07]

I don't see how it's a problem considering it's a theoretical concept in the first place. Those variables you mentioned have nothing to do with the underlying principle as far as I can see

Well most knowledge we have is guesswork. Imagine you leave your room and your dog is on the floor, but when you come back your dog is on your bed. You didn’t see him, but you can make a pretty good guess that he jumped there instead of something like teleporting. You didn’t see him so you can’t be 100% sure, but you’re 99.999% sure.

[@JaguarBST]

@@santiagopomposiello5151 but I have seen the dog jumping countless times in the past, which assists in the prediction that the dog jumped and did not teleport. Because I have seen the dog teleport exactly zero times. We can also make measurements and analyze his body structure and come up with very reasonable conclusion how the dog might have jumped. On the other hand, teleportation hypothesis has nothing supporting it and there are no tests to verify its predictions. There is a very distinct difference between random guesswork and scientific prediction. Therefore, I disagree with your statement.

Just to clarify, you don't kill the cat, you simply determine that you are in the universe where the cat dies, but that itself does not kill the cat, as he was already dead. You just found out about it and the opposite happens in a parallel universe.
