The two worlds interpretation from my book "The Big Defreeze of the Universe - Analogies & Thought Experiments"
To help understand the idea of the two worlds
interpretation and how it could be a good candidate for a solution for the
measurement problem, we will go back to the notebook thought experiment
introduced earlier in this book.
The analogy goes that we have a notebook of let`s say 120
pages of holographic two dimensions films. These 120 pages would be
representing our multi-verses, so all the possible universes are within this
notebook including our universe.
If you look at the two-dimensional holographic page of our
universe, you would not be able to tell what this thing is a hologram of,
unless you shine a light on it to see the three-dimensional representation of
reality of this holographic film. Technically, you are outside the space-time
of this holographic film and probably you are not governed by the laws of this
holographic film including the laws of quantum mechanics, and you would be
shining light from outside it.
The idea is simply that we have two worlds. One in our
universe on that two-dimensional holographic film having quantum mechanical
behaviors and the other one is totally outside “the notebook” (our universe or multiverse)
and its space-time parameters. It does not follow the quantum mechanical
behavior.
The version of you in our universe is an observer with
constituents following the quantum mechanical behavior, which requires the
second version of you in the other world with constituents that do not have
quantum mechanical behavior.
Even if the idea of the multiverse is eventually proven
correct, according to the proposed two world interpretation the multiverse will
not necessarily imply that there are many versions of you doing all possible
scenarios. The two worlds interpretation suggests that there is only one
version of you acting as an observer with constituents that do not have quantum
mechanical behavior. The second version is acting as an observer of the first
version. But the second version does not require an observer because its
constituents do not have quantum mechanical behavior.
