the reading of quantum mechanics in which the wavefunction never collapses and every possible outcome occurs in a branching set of worlds.

In quantum physics, many-worlds interpretation refers to the reading of quantum mechanics in which the wavefunction never collapses and every possible outcome occurs in a branching set of worlds. This meaning comes from Everett (1957) in Reviews of Modern Physics.[1]
