The mulitverse interpretation is just one of many possible theoretical implications for how quantum probabilities work. There is no evidence for it. This is entirely personal bias on the part of the Google researcher, and is quite clearly just a click bait headline and article on the part of The Daily Mail.
I suppose the nonsensical statement and article could be strategic in order to play into a larger psyop going on. But I can't speculate on how.
Personally, I find parallel worlds the least compelling of all the interpretations physicists have come up with to explain quantum mechanics.
Yeah, in the article itself there is a refutation of the headline...!
"Astrophysicist turned science writer Ethan Siegel blasted Google over the claim, accusing them of 'conflating unrelated concepts, which Neven also ought to know.'
'Neven has conflated the notion of a quantum mechanical Hilbert space, which is an infinite-dimensional mathematical space where quantum mechanical wavefunctions "live," with the notion of parallel universes and a multiverse,' Siegel argued Friday."
Seems like Google wants a big headline. Not sure why the performance of Willow is not enough!
That's actually very succinct explanation of the issue. Better than anything I could write. I'll remember that. Thanks.
