I don’t see where I’m failing to understand Carroll. Here is a quote:
“I want to emphasize that it’s not your decisions that make the universe branch. But it’s absolutely possible that something happens in your brain that branches into two different quantum possibilities, and we interpret those differences in the macroscopic world as different decisions being made. So it’s absolutely possible that there are multiple worlds where you made different decisions.”
This is a quick video of Sean Carroll explaining the many worlds interpretation. He says suppose an electron is either spinning clockwise or counterclockwise. Based on which way it is spinning, you make a separate decision. Once it’s observed, the world splits and you act on both decisions.
He then says we don’t know how often this happens, and gives the example of nuclei decaying in our body. Every time a nucleus decays, the universe branches into two worlds, at a rate of 2^5000 per second. And this is the conservative number, assuming it’s not infinite.
