>according to special relativity, there is only one past and one future, and they exist alongside the present as just another dimension of spacetime
>according to quantum mechanics, there are several possibilities a wavefunction can collapse to, each one of them equally valid and possible, and all of them exist at the same time, which would imply the existence of multiple futures.
which one is correct?

Neither, they're both just models with some decent predicting power in most situations.

"One future" sounds like some Calvinist predestination mumbo jumbo.

You'd have to be retarded to think collapse is anything more than an approximation for decoherence in a universal wave function.

>>16794447
this. "collapse" is pseudoscientific nonsense. it's entirely an artifact of our own illusions of measurement consistency
>>
>>16793933
neither
you misunderstand SR and QM about as well as every other underaged redditor
