Abstract

I argue against the many-world interpretation (MWI) of quantum theory by emphasizing that when everything is entangled with everything else, in one big monstrous piece, there is no room left for creativity. Since the MWI was invented, it proves itself wrong (appeared first in French in [N. Gisin, L'épidémie du multivers, in Le plus grand des hasards, p. 184, eds J.F. Dars et A. Papillault, Belin 2010]).
