Is there another version of you living in a parallel universe right now? In this video, we explain the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics in simple words: what it says, why Hugh Everett proposed it, how it differs from the Copenhagen interpretation, and why physicists still argue about it.
Whether you're a student meeting quantum physics for the first time, a sci-fi fan curious about parallel worlds, or a lifelong learner who wants to know what physicists really mean by the multiverse, this explainer walks you through the idea step by step.

• The measurement problem in quantum mechanics
• Superposition and the wave function
• Copenhagen interpretation vs Many-Worlds
• Hugh Everett's no-collapse idea and branching reality
• Why other branches can never be reached (decoherence)
• Why Many-Worlds can't yet be tested and the probability problem
• David Deutsch, quantum computing and the multiverse debate
