Sort of.  I was reading a description of the many world interpretation
the other day, and I realized it is just a disguised version of the
Copenhagen interpretation.

It is just that the whole universe is in a superposition of states because
observers are only an illusion due to restrictions on component states
of the superposition.


Anyhow, it adds nothing that is not already in the Copenhagen approach.

I do not believe either one is useful or meaningful.
