The Emergent Multiverse
Quantum Theory according to the Everett Interpretation
Book • 2012
The Emergent Multiverse presents a detailed and modern account of the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics.
David Wallace argues that by taking quantum theory literally, the apparent paradoxes and weirdness of quantum mechanics are mitigated, and the theory can be seen as describing a world that constantly branches into multiple universes.
The book addresses key challenges such as the ontological and probability problems associated with the Everett interpretation and provides a clear and accessible survey of the work in both physics and philosophy of science.
