The Static Quantum Multiverse

Understand

We consider the multiverse in the intrinsically quantum mechanical framework recently proposed in Refs.

[1,2].
By requiring that the principles of quantum mechanics are universally valid and that physical predictions do not depend on the reference frame one chooses to describe the multiverse, we find that the multiverse state must be static---in particular, the multiverse does not have a beginning or end.
We argue that, despite its naive appearance, this does not contradict observation, including the fact that we observe that time flows in a definite direction.
