In this book, Carroll examines the reasons why people misunderstand quantum mechanics and advocates a version of the many-worlds interpretation, while objecting to the views often grouped together as the Copenhagen interpretation.[1][2]
Reception
Reviews in QBism), but that Carroll's case was "carefully reasoned" and his presentations of the various opposing views were fair.[5] Writing in Physics Today, Matthew Leifer was more critical, saying that "the alternatives to [many worlds] are not as hopeless as Carroll makes them out to be" and finding Carroll's treatment of Bell's theorem too superficial.[6]
Science writer
many world interpretation more broadly as "post-empirical science".[7] The book was also reviewed by science writer Philip Ball and by physicist-authors Chad Orzel and Sabine Hossenfelder.[8][9][10]
