DESCRIPTION:One of the great intellectual achievements of the twentieth ce
 ntury was the theory of quantum mechanics\, according to which observation
 al results can only be predicted probabilistically rather than with certai
 nty. Yet\, after decades in which the theory has been successfully used on
  an everyday basis\, most physicists would agree that we still don't truly
  understand what it means. I will talk about the source of this puzzlement
 \, and explain why an increasing number of physicists are led to an appare
 ntly astonishing conclusion: that the world we experience is constantly br
 anching into different versions\, representing the different possible outc
 ome of quantum measurements. This could have important consequences for qu
 antum gravity and the emergence of spacetime.\n \n\nhttps://indico.cern.c
