    I don’t think anyone figured out the “why” for wave-function collapse yet, the Copenhagen interpretation is obviously flawed. PBS had a good video about it a few months ago, but if you don’t get it, that’s not weird since the leading theories for WFC are all inelegant.

        Uhh it still doesn’t explain why we only perceive a randomly chosen one in those many worlds, does it? Like where is the die roll coming from?

          Each result happens, with a “you” perceiving each, because you’re entangled with the system in question.

              There’s nothing special about this one. The others could ask the same question.

              There’s nothing unique about humans that make them separate from the systems they entangle with when they observe them. You’re just a quantum system like the electrons in the experiment.
