The path integral suggests that all of the possible realities are like waves. When these waves are added up, they can interfere with each other in a way that only one of the possible realities can be seen. It's like when you throw two stones into a pond at the same time. The waves created by the stones will interfere with each other and create a single pattern on the surface of the water. In the same way, the path integral suggests that all of the possible realities can interfere with each other and create a single reality.

- krohling 4y agoThanks for the kind response. I actually generated that comment by feeding parts of the article into ChatGPT and asking it the previous comment.

- thriftwy 4y agoAlternative realities may have alternative people living in them - will they observe different laws of physics since their reality is not a sum of all realities, as opposed to ours? Or would they have the same conclusion about sum of realities? A) these realities can't have people - they're not real enough to be called that B) physics will be different - that would be a great scientific revelation C) physics will be the same - making the premise meaningless
- fragsworth 4y agoIt only happens on the quantum level, when you stop being able to measure things and they become wave-like. Humans can't do that
