@Laura I don't know in what science you are working, but in my field, biology, on a theoretical basis, I would not have considered that obervations cause reality, but that they reflect an event. On a more practical level, the way observations are done can cause bias in the obervation, but I would not invoke a causality, rather an inflection.

🌌 Believing in the Many Worlds Interpretation 🌍 means embracing infinite possibilities! Every choice, every outcome, exists in its own universe. No need to worry about collapsing wavefunctions or spooky action at a distance. It’s all real, somewhere! 🌠✨
Pros:
• Offers a consistent explanation of quantum phenomena without mystical collapses.
• Comfort in knowing every choice is made and every path is explored.
• No retrocausality or faster-than-light issues—each universe is self-consistent.
Cons:
• Hard to test or prove scientifically.
• Raises questions about the nature of reality and personal identity across universes.
