So all these physicists are debating with each other.
So they don't like the Copenhagen interpretation because it seems to rely on consciousness or some kind of an observer, and scientists kind of hate that.
They hate to talk about consciousness being real, and we'll get into the whole religious aspects of the simulation hypothesis in a little bit.
So they're like, well, this one's nice because the mathematics all work, the multiverse idea.
But the problem with the multiverse idea is that it's not what scientists like to call parsimonious, which means that what's happening is there's a new universe splitting off like all the time.
Every time there's a quantum and we're talking about quantum decisions.
We're not really talking about big things like cats.
We're talking about little decisions that occur within a nanosecond.
And so every time there's a decision, you're splitting off to new a new physical universe.
So think about now we're talking exponential growth, but on steroids, right?
Because it's just infinite.
It just keeps going, right?
And that's kind of a weird concept that there would be so many physical universes being created.
And so, you know, where I came out on this subject is, well, guess what?
The simulation hypothesis is
gives you a way to look at both of these, a framework that makes it make sense, right?
