The multiverse may be a consequence of Everett’s theory, but the reality shattering nature of that consequence warrants scrutiny of the theory.
Consider one of Xeno’s paradoxes. One may postulate that to go from A to B that first one passes through a midpoint C, and by naively applying induction (I.e. without knowing under what circumstances am infinite sum converges to a finite value), one concludes that a consequence is motion itself cannot exist. However, the absurdity of this consequence should mot lead us to doubt the existence of motion, but quite the opposite, it hints to us that the either the postulate is false, or otherwise we are missing some essential knowledge that allows to determine the correct consequences of that postulate. |
