Has anyone read this book yet and what do you think of this theory?

“Something Deeply Hidden” by Sean Carroll
“Academics discourage students from working on the “dead end” of quantum foundations. Putting his professional reputation on the line with this audacious yet entirely reasonable book, Carroll says that the crisis can now come to an end. We just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe. There are many, many Sean Carrolls. Many of every one of us.

Copies of you are generated thousands of times per second. The Many Worlds Theory of quantum behavior says that every time there is a quantum event, a world splits off with everything in it the same, except in that other world the quantum event didn’t happen. Step-by-step in Carroll’s uniquely lucid way, he tackles the major objections to this otherworldly revelation until his case is inescapably established.

Rarely does a book so fully reorganize how we think about our place in the universe. We are on the threshold of a new understanding—of where we are in the cosmos, and what we are made of.”

What I think is, the quacks and the religious have finally figured out that they really can’t beat science, so they have started building up pseudo-scientific walls around their quackery to give it the illusion of intelligent science.

And the universe is just an atom in the toenail of a giant cosmic dog

I feel that until there is proof of Einstein and Bores theory of many lives ,I reserve judgement since there is so much that is still unknown.
Just as in the every distant past people thought that the world was flat and that the Earth was the center of the universe and in time was proven faulty and thus humanity learns, abet slowly .
I remain open minded.

It’s just one quantum theory interprentation and not one I subscribe to. It makes the world comletely deterministic.

As far as pseudoscience woo see the film “what the bleep do we know” for a primer on how religious quackery twists quantum theory. The many world’s interprentation is not really woo.

What is “woo?”
I spoke to my wacko sister day before yesterday. She ‘splainedd to me first hand one of her religious twists on quantum theory, and how the body can heal itself. She had to start with a primer on atoms, though.

Woo is sexed up pseudoscientific bullshit.
