Google says its new quantum chip indicates that multiple universes exist (techcrunch.com)

Wheeler and Everett being over 60 years ago this can't be called especially ground breaking. The interesting question would be how information might flow.

"Must have" is begging the question. Really, Google staffers emoting adds nothing.

"Lends credence" is more plausible. It's consistent.

This still feels like a purpose specific problem solver not a general purpose computer. Steps along a road.

I think Hugh Everett beat him to it:
