In a blog post entitled “Why
the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Is Probably Correct,”
Sean Carroll explains his strong belief in Hugh Everett III’s theory. It’s
obvious that this universe results from a series of events, almost all of which
could have produced some other outcome. So, there must be many, many possible
universes, maybe not an infinite number, but a lot. Why this universe? Do all
of these possible universes exist? The physicist Hugh Everett III thought that
they do.
Physicists and philosophers are desperately searching for reality, but aren't getting any warmer. An engineer watches the action and offers comments and answers from his work, The Book of the Universe (view my profile and click on My Web Page).

“I think, therefore I
am”. That was the French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes. What was he

"What Are We Missing?"
The physicists have problems. They’re charged with finding
out what the universe is all about, and they don’t have a clue where to go from
here.
