But then also this blog post, which explains how the Mario video is a good picture of multiple universes quantum physics. I almost wrote “quantum philosophy,” which seems right, too. Multiple universe theory is pretty strange. But thanks to the people who put this together, I at least understand it a little better than I understand string theory, now (string theory being my favorite other very strange physics thing about universes).
