So let me see if I can gauge this correctly. Heisenberg basically states that inside of an arena where the observer can know nothing about the contents (if for no other reason than you will disrupt the workings of the item of observation by the observation) the most you can ever know is a percentage of chance.
The cat is dead. The cat is alive. Flip a coin, 49.9%, 49.9% (it’s always bothered me that no one ever gives any chance to the coin landing on one of its edges.)
But aren’t there really an infinity of choices inside that box? Is that cat laying down? Is it licking its paw and cleaning its ear? Awake, asleep, purring, hissing. Infinity. And all of that infinity is only reasonably explained by a multitude of universes, an infinity really, where all those options are correct.
After all if Einstein is to be correct and God is not in fact playing dice with the universe, then the only answer that we can come to is that for God all the rolls of the dice are equal and they all happen together. Multiple universes for us could be a single creation to Him.
