Multiverse

I have always dismissed the Everettian "many worlds" hypothesis as a trivial and inelegant interpretation of quantum mechanics, but recently I have been reconsidering that position.

If we understand these universes to be entangled and to have a common moment of inception - to share the same big bang - the hypothesis is amenable to elegance after all. The entanglement may be assumed if the breadth of the distance between worlds is a single quantum.

We see the big bang not as some crude event but as the separation of these worlds by space-like intervals, and every null geodesic - every ray of light, each starbeam, as it were - then becomes a border between us and infinite worlds, one we can never cross. Our physics, our classical closed world in which information is conserved and traded between the observer and the observed, is balanced by an anti-physics of quantum entanglement in which these many worlds commune out of the observer's reach.

Our time-like trade the becomes a space-like cascade across the multiverse, as our act of observation instatiates everything with which the object we observe is entangled, like a domino effect that spirals round every ray of light all the way back to the beginning of time. And so, the very act of opening our eyes is the creation of the universe entire.

And thus is our finitude redeemed. We exist because of an observation we ourselves made in the future in another universe that only seems empty because it is filled with possibility, and the interconnection of all things is achieved through the intercession of the multiverse.
