[:es]Why the Many-Worlds Interpretation Has Many Problems[:]
The idea that the universe splits into multiple realities with every measurement has become an increasingly popular proposed solution to the mysteries of quantum mechanics. But this “many-worlds interpretation” is […]

[:es]Famous Experiment Dooms Alternative to Quantum Weirdness[:]
Oil droplets guided by “pilot waves” have failed to reproduce the results of the quantum double-slit experiment, crushing a century-old dream that there exists a single, concrete reality.
