Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: A Paradoxical Picture
Amir Abbass Varshovi
TL;DR
This paper critically examines the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, arguing that its ontological basis leads to contradictions and challenges the notion of our universe's reality.
Contribution
It provides an unprecedented ontological analysis of MWI, highlighting inherent contradictions and the impact of the uncertainty principle on its conceptual consistency.
Findings
MWI faces an inherent contradiction due to ontological issues
The uncertainty principle prevents a consistent specification of the universe's ontology
The universe described by MWI may be fundamentally unreal
Abstract
The many-worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics is studied from an unprecedented ontological perspective based on the reality of (semi-) deterministic parallel worlds in the interpretation. It is demonstrated that with thanks to the uncertainty principle there would be no consistent way to specify the correct ontology of the Universe, hence the MWI is subject to an inherent contradiction which claims that the world where we live in is unreal.
