The ManyWorlds Interpretation posits the existence of parallel universes where all possible outcomes of quantum events occur from "summary" of Simply Quantum Physics by DK

The Many-Worlds Interpretation, a controversial theory in quantum physics, suggests a mind-boggling alternative to the traditional Copenhagen Interpretation. According to this interpretation, every time a quantum event occurs - such as the decay of a radioactive atom - the universe splits into multiple parallel realities, each corresponding to a different outcome. In essence, this means that every possible outcome of a quantum event actually happens, but in a separate universe. Imagine a scenario where a radioactive atom has a 50% chance of decaying within a certain time frame. In the Copenhagen Interpretation, the atom exists in a state of superposition - both decayed and undecayed - until it is observed, at which point it "chooses" one state. However, in the Many-Worlds Interpretation, the universe splits into two branches at the moment of decay, with one branch containing an observer who sees the atom decayed, and another branch with an observer who sees the at...
