Course description

One universe is not enough. Learn about the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics in this exciting course taught by a renowned expert.

Taught by Professor Sean Carroll of Johns Hopkins University, this course explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics, which proposes that there are a limitless number of universes caused by the branching of different realities at the quantum level. These universes include countless versions of ourselves living out different futures. Consider the pros and cons of this bold theory.
