AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the exploration of quantum mechanics and the Many Interacting Worlds (MIW) interpretation, particularly in relation to gravitation and the construction of macroscopic traversable wormholes. The original poster, a biochemist, seeks guidance on how to approach the mathematical complexities of these topics, acknowledging a foundational understanding of quantum mechanics but lacking advanced mathematical skills. The response emphasizes the importance of starting with fundamental quantum mechanics texts and suggests a structured reading list for building the necessary mathematical background. It highlights that the challenge lies not in the strangeness of the concepts but in the mathematical language used to describe them, requiring dedication and time to grasp fully.

Hi again!

Let me preface this by saying that if you don't subscribe to the idea of the existence of parallel universes, I encourage you to hit the Back button on your browser. That said, read on if you'd like to help me get some direction of where to start to begin understanding quantum mechanics, Many Interacting Worlds (MIW) interpretation, and how that fits into a theory that includes gravitation and the possibility for constructing a macroscopic traversable wormhole.

I'm a biochemist by trade, so I'm out of my depth here, but I'm confident in saying as much as that I understand the basic theoretical constructs of quantum mechanics and parallel universes. However, I don't understand the math that describes them, and have knowledge that ends at the level of basic partial differential equations. So, if I wanted to take the dive and over the next few years try to understand this stuff in sufficient detail from a mathematical, formal perspective, where should I start?

Thanks,

Adam

Start by understanding QM.

If you have done calculus then study the following in the following order:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465062903/?tag=pfamazon01-20
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0071765638/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Then you can understand Many Worlds:

Be warned - the reason this is difficult isn't that the ideas are strange - its that those are ideas are written in the language of math and will require your close attention over an extended period.

Thanks

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
