Multiverse Quantum Mechanics

The integration of quantum mechanics with the multiverse, treating quantum phenomena as interactions across different universes within the multiverse. In this framework—closely related to the many-worlds interpretation—superposition is not a single particle in multiple states but multiple universes diverging, each with the particle in one state. Entanglement is not spooky action at a distance but connections across universes. Measurement is not collapse but branching—the universe splitting into copies, each with a different outcome. Multiverse quantum mechanics explains why quantum phenomena seem probabilistic: we only experience one branch, but all branches exist. The theory is elegant, deterministic, and ontologically extravagant—it solves the measurement problem by multiplying universes.

Example: "He explained multiverse quantum mechanics to his cat, who was both alive and dead in different branches. 'In this branch, you're getting treats. In another, you're napping. In another, you're plotting my demise. All are real.' The cat, in this branch, wanted treats. The theory was confirmed."

Multiverse Mechanics

The branch of physics describing how objects move and interact across the multiverse—how they navigate between universes, how they maintain identity across branches, how they respond to the multiversal landscape. In multiverse mechanics, motion is not just through space and time but through the space of possible universes. Objects can have trajectories that take them through different realities, different physical laws, different dimensions. This mechanics is purely theoretical—we have no evidence of actual inter-universe travel—but it's mathematically coherent and conceptually thrilling. Multiverse mechanics is the physics of "what if we could move between realities?"—a question that has haunted dreamers forever.

Example: "He dreamed of multiverse mechanics, imagining a device that could shift him to a universe where he'd made better choices. In that universe, he was rich, successful, happy. In this one, he was eating cereal at 2 AM, watching the same show for the third time. The mechanics were clear; the implementation was not. He finished his cereal and went to bed, where other universes waited in dreams."
