Comments by "" (@tinkeringtim7999) on "Parallel Worlds Probably Exist. Here’s Why" video.
The more of these videos I watch the more they grate one me. I just wish he could differentiate between things we know and things that are highly questionable. One could easily watch this video and get the impression the many worlds view has logical consistency and evidential backing, neither of which is remotely true. It's comes from not being able to understand what the Hilbert space is and how it is a phase space for complex manifolds - there are classical phase spaces and the same logic could be applied to those to say almost exactly the same tosh. Measurement is just an extra degree of misdirection on top. You can't just smash through a whole video making it sound like a FAR stronger argument than it is and then do the paltry "but maybe we don't know, maybe it's anything" type sign off as of that somehow balances out the insane levels of hubris the video is based on. You need to align your language with reality or people will start seeing the actual legitimate claims you make as also being over blown arrogant misunderstandings.
