They explore why the many-worlds interpretation isn\u2019t just a philosophical curiosity, what the wave function is really telling us about reality, and how decision theory may rescue probability in a fully deterministic multiverse. Deutsch also introduces constructor theory, his framework for rethinking the foundations of physics entirely and explains why the questions we\u2019ve been trained not to ask might be the most important ones in all of science.<\/p>\n<p>This program is part of the Rethinking Reality series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Participant: David Deutsch.<br \/> Moderator: Brian Greene.<\/p>\n<p>#worldsciencefestival #briangreene #cosmology #astrophysics.<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT WORLD SCIENCE FESTIVAL:<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2026\/05\/world-science-festival\">Continue reading \u201cWorld Science Festival\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does quantum mechanics actually imply that every possible outcome of every decision happens somewhere in an expansive reality?
