>>54747227I'm not saying any of the more fantastical claims of quantum physics are supported by the evidence, just that they open up enough of a gap in our understanding that these strange claims can fit inside.
Now, it's possible to say that "the apparatus has interfered with the results," but that's not really a complete picture of what's really going on. What's really happening is that the mechanism of cause and effect doesn't really behave like we think it does--it's not possible for one system to have information about another without having some causal link to that system, and on a small enough scale, yes, it's impossible to know the state of one system without having had an effect on it.
But there are other, extremely unintuitive results from quantum mechanics, which seem to hint that the underlying mechanics of cause and effect aren't what we think--we're only observing the average result of many (in an incomprehensibly large version of the world "many") interactions that play out constantly in our world.
This doesn't necessarily validate the idea that there are multiple universes, or that equally probable outcomes are occurring simultaneously until we try to measure them, only that reality isn't what we think. Back in the early days of chemistry, they put mice in airtight chambers, and watched as they eventually asphyxiated due to lack of oxygen. They thought that the air was "damaged" or robbed of some elemental life-force--they were on the right track to finding out the truth, it's just that they didn't understand all the mechanics yet, and their imagination was prone to making wild leaps.
The truth is that quantim physics is incredibly strange and incredibly interesting, it's just that the implications of current observation aren't well understood yet.
I apologix for rambling I'm drunk as shit right now and likely not coherent.
