“Without too much exaggeration, it’s fair to say that all quantum experiments are really just more or less complicated versions of Schrödinger’s,” Vedral argued.
With so many forks and branches splitting from each tiny interaction into their own parallel universe, there are infinite “yous” subtly coming into being at any given time, subtly leaving the observable you holding the bag. As Verdal writes it, the “elements of reality that are encoded into quantum objects are fundamental, and you — in this reality and others — are shaped each time you observe them.”
i love how this fits into Gurdjieff’s idea of “multiple i’s”: different personas within you. The only thing that’s different is that he says you *can* observe them.
