What does that mean for ontology, for the science and the study of being?

What is anyone?

Okay, so when it comes to quantum ontology, are we real?

What are we?

What is reality?

How does it work?

Why don't things add up between points versus waves?

And why can't we detect or describe dark matter or dark energy?

Nobody knows.

But there have been scratch paper pads and whiteboards, just chock-a-block filled with theories.

Let's hear a few.

Give me some of the top ones.

Like, is multiverse as one?

OK, so Hugh Everett, who as a child

wrote a letter to Einstein and got a nice response.

And then later in his life, sat in on some of Einstein's lectures, ran with his posse.

So this Hugh Everett, oh, he loved booze and smoking and quantum theory.

And he got his PhD in it, in the quantum theory at least.

And Niels Bohr, who...

by the by, was a big deal, Nobel Prize winning quantum physicists and one of like the folks who proposed the structure of an atom with the electrons spinning around it and parts of what became known as the Copenhagen interpretation that a particle exists in every position of the wave function until it's observed.
