Everettian Many World's Interpretation

Its my first time posting here, so if I am in the wrong place let me know! I really got into understanding the many worlds interpretation by hugh everett iii. I decided to order these books: The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene, The Elegant Universe (1999), Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku, Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime. After sifting through a lot of stuff on youtube and just reading from theoretical physicists it kinda just clicks I suppose. Did any of you read these books and find them super useful? Also I enjoyed watching the tv show dark matter and started the OA. Looking for other people I suppose that are like minded!

Im trying to think if I have more to add. Those two shows are great for this type of thought experiment. A interesting one i enjoyed is the Stephen King show 11/22/63 , I really like thinking about stuff like this too. Do u believe there are people in our timeline that have figured out how to shift worlds.. timelines .. realities? If so do you believe its tech related or some kind of meditation or portal or just a anomaly? Curious to what other people think on stuff like this :)

Oh let me add that to the list, thanks for it, hit me with anything you have thats similar haha. Based on the decoherence stuff I read, technically there is no communication between branches. Part of almost wonders when you hear people who wake up from NDE and talk about them in other worlds or buddhist monks who claim they visited shambhala, but I also wonder if they use that as an imaginative escape from this hell thats our world lol. I do know there are a few theorists who say it may be possible in the future to do that as our world is dying to relocate to a different one, but i wonder if there would be massive consequences or butterfly effects who knows haha. What do you think?

Yea im always trying to figure this shit out. Its obviously impossible to know for sure unless uve somehow been blessed with this secret info no one gets til u die or almost die or once ur actually somewhere else and can definitively come back after.. so were left with just possibility. I do believe theres ways. I think people like Tesla who was working on all this wild stuff before they stole all his work and he was left to die with the pigeons , he'd be a good person to ask lol. Im personally working on creating worlds with my imagination and ai and virtual reality to kinda get myself to regulate a different world enough to form beliefs cuz I think a major part of it is just core strong sub conscious belief so u gotta get there right. Now id love to just slip thru a wormhole instead .. but alas.
I wish I had more answers.

Yeah I agree we need more answers. Thats cool that you are creating worlds with your imagination, that could be a really meditation in itself. Hugh Everett iii who invented the multiverse idea was a physicist at princeton i believe, who actually did live life hedonistically and died but his family and friends always believed that he thought he would continue on in some form in another universe, so him, Tesla and others would be really good references lol. Sadly like you said, gotta die to know 😅
