Multiple universes
Multiple universes. Conceptual computer artwork of many Earths, representing the many worlds quantum theory. This theory is an attempt to explain the fundamental uncertainty of quantum theory and some of the strange events predicted by quantum theory. This includes the way an observer affects quantum descriptions (wavefunctions) of objects. Standard interpretations of quantum theory say that where a wavefunction can be in one of two possible states, the act of observation collapses the wavefunction so that the observed state survives. Many worlds theory speculates that the wavefunction splits and the other state survives in a parallel universe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Multiple Universes" takes us on a visual journey into the depths of quantum theory and its mind-bending implications. The conceptual computer artwork portrays an array of Earths, symbolizing the countless parallel universes proposed by this groundbreaking scientific concept. Quantum theory, with all its uncertainty and strange phenomena, has long puzzled scientists and philosophers alike. It suggests that when an observer interacts with an object at the quantum level, such as measuring its properties, the wavefunction describing that object collapses into a single state. However, the many worlds theory challenges this notion by proposing that instead of collapsing into one state, the wavefunction splits into multiple branches representing different outcomes in separate universes. In this thought-provoking illustration, we are confronted with the possibility of infinite Earths existing simultaneously but independently from our own reality. Each Earth represents a unique outcome resulting from every possible observation or measurement made in our universe. As we gaze upon this image filled with cosmic wonderment, it invites us to ponder profound questions about existence and consciousness. How does our perception shape reality? What lies beyond what we can observe? This artwork serves as a reminder that even within the vastness of space and time, there is still so much left to explore and understand about our place in these multiple universes.
