Do we live in a multiverse?NEWS | 25 October 2026The idea of living in a multiverse is not only unsettling but totally unscientific circumventing the real foundational contradictions and deficiencies in quantum mechanics formulations. It’s unscientific because it violates fundamental conservation laws, and it is unverifiable as well as unfalsifiable. The following two recently peer-reviewed published papers describe the possible missing relativistic (deterministic) physics that explains the measurement problem including the role of a conscious observer causing the collapse. In addition, the new physics, including the effects of gravity, predicts a natural transition boundary between the classical and quantum behaviors without a collapse eliminating the need for the bizarre and radical Multiverse hypothesis.

A summary of the results of the above two papers is provided below.
The missing physics behind the quantum measurement problem entailing collapse of the wavefunction or objective reduction (OR) has been a major unresolved problem leading to the well-known weirdness and foundational paradoxes of quantum mechanics. This paper describes the new relativistic physics of a spontaneously self-decaying or self-forming quantum particle and its spontaneous complementary wave-particle behavior representing the spontaneous mass-energy equivalence principle. The new physics is integrated into a physical/mathematical description of the Objective Reduction or collapse process including the quantitative effects of gravity and kinetic energy (anti-gravity) that govern the instability of a quantum particle. The new physics is integrated into a Relativistic Universe Expansion (RUE) model including the quantitative effects of gravity and anti-gravity that govern the instability of a quantum particle. A Relativistic Wave Particle (RWP) model is developed that extends the de Broglie model to include the new relativistic physics predicting wave-particle behavior over the entire range of dynamic states (V=0 to C), providing an alternative to Schrodinger’s probability wave function. RUE/RWP models are shown to predict a deterministic natural transition of physical reality from quantum to classical without the need for collapse or the bizarre "Multiverse" hypothesis. The models are vindicated by cosmic observations.Author: Philipp Strasberg. Source
