This is the language we desperately need in the most elevated conversations: "An alternative approach – dubbed the Many Worlds Hypothesis – is to simply assume that every possible value in the probability density function actually gets realised, in a process that generates separate universes for each possibility at each such event (Everett, 1957)... However, there seems little reason to take it seriously as a physical reality or even as a metaphysical possibility. Physically, it assumes that the entire universe can be described by a single Schrödinger equation, but there are strong arguments against this notion (Drossel, 2017; Ellis, 2023). Metaphysically, it trades the problematic notion of collapse for the extravagance of infinite universes, which, like a girlfriend who goes to another school, remain unknowable to us."
