Thomas Hertog a colleague of Hawking has stated that quantum mechanics implys the universe has many histories. Is this an agreed fact or just his opinon/interpretation?
Yes, and yes.I2004 said:and hidden variables also say there is one history along with a number of interpretation?
So hertog is just quoting his opinon of interpretation rather than accepted fact?

Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at a very small scale, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It is important because it helps us understand the fundamental laws of nature that govern the behavior of particles, and has led to many technological advancements such as transistors and lasers.
Classical mechanics is based on the laws of motion and gravity described by Isaac Newton, while quantum mechanics is based on the probabilistic behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. Quantum mechanics also incorporates the wave-particle duality, where particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior.
The Schrödinger equation is a mathematical equation that describes the evolution of a quantum system over time. It takes into account the energy and potential of the system to calculate the probability of finding a particle in a certain state. It is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics and is used to make predictions about the behavior of particles.
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles become linked in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, even when they are separated by a large distance. This means that a change in one particle will instantly affect the other particle, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon is still not fully understood, but it has been experimentally proven.
Although quantum mechanics may seem like a complex and abstract concept, it has many practical applications in our daily lives. For example, it is used in medical imaging such as MRI machines, in the development of computer chips, and in cryptography for secure communication. It also plays a role in understanding chemical reactions and the properties of materials, leading to advancements in various industries.
