Quotes by Laurel Brett (?)

“Everett’s model insisted that I could never get two of the girls together. The laws of physics as described by Schrödinger’s equation, and interpreted by Everett’s hypothesis, prohibited it. That much I understood, but then why could one Daphne see another’s portrait? Why had one Daphne glimpsed another at a school teach-in? Why could I see all four? Which reality was I in?”
― Laurel Brett, The Schrödinger Girl: A Novel

“I reviewed these implications in my mind, assuring myself that I understood what I had just read: Daphne was a set of possibilities, and each possibility became manifest in a new universe when the universe branched off, as Borges had said it would. But once this new universe branched off, it could never interact with the previous universe. They split completely. But the question still remained: why could I interact with all four?”

“was grandiose enough to wonder if I had found a glitch in the space-time continuum. Of course, I also questioned if everything I had discovered about Daphne could exist only in my own mind. I had to reject that idea when I remembered the snapshot, the guidance counselors, the Green portraits—all the manifestations of multiple Daphnes that existed in the real world, even if I was the only one of billions of people to know the reality of the Schrödinger girl.”
― Laurel Brett, The Schrödinger Girl: A Novel
