I'm not even sure why its in p&r. A philosophical approach to things grounded in hard science? I'm not sure how you'd even do that.
Until I figure it out here's more food for thought. I like this hypothesis.
Many-worlds interpretation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My apologies, but wikipedia did a better job than everything else I was able to find. Basically whenever there is mild uncertainty in the universe whether its the position of a particle or perhaps even what you're going to say next (the brain being composed of particles after all), the universe splits into a set of subuniverses. One subuniverse for each and every state your margin of uncertainty allows things to possibly be in.
In one universe I probably already went to bed. In another I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and do some work after Volconvo. They're all equally real and continually branch off from eachother. If I flip a coin and determining how it would land in advance was impossible due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle then it lands both heads up and heads down at the same time in different universes.
