How Many “You” Exist Right Now? | Leonard Susskind

Описание: Do you exist as a single “you” right now? Or could there be countless versions of you — all real, all living out different outcomes in parallel universes?

In this video, we explore a question that has puzzled the most rigorous minds of the last century: how many of you exist at this moment in the structure of reality? Not metaphorically — physically, mathematically, in the very fabric of the cosmos.

We dive into Quantum Mechanics, the Many Worlds interpretation, and cosmology, revealing a reality where every quantum event branches the universe. Every decision, every photon, every particle in your body may have created countless alternate copies of you. The number is beyond comprehension.

We also explore eternal inflation and the string theory landscape, showing how the multiverse produces regions almost identical to ours — with people almost identical to you. The result? You are not alone. You are never truly unique — but that does not diminish the meaning of your life. It relocates it. Your choices, your thread of reality, are real. They matter.
