@ A certain someone

''Oh man! You really put Tu Aru into real science! You sir get a tip of the hat! Seriously though. Where do you get stuffs like "Many Worlds" theory, "Quantum Suicide" theory or "Observer Effect" (Hey, not offensive at all, just shocked and awed by how'd go that far. I myself don't know about the existences of the aforementioned theories :D). The one I got was "Uncertainty Principle". I guess I saw it somewhere in the light novel (and I double-checked it on Wikipedia - it was there - it was the real deal! :D). But seriously, when I think about my ability-of-choice, I just come up with what I want, no matter how illogical it may sound. You sure spend a lot of time delve into the series! Way to go!  ''

Ok you understand the "Uncertainty Principle" as it relates to Schrodinger’s Cat right, Cat trapped in box set to release poison at some unknown point. Is the cat dead or alive? Answer: both until it confirmed either way it has an equal chance of being both dead or alive the actual state of the cat is uncertain, Ok good. The Many Worlds Theory basically states that for every possibility there is world where it didn't happen or happened differently for example when you opened the box and observed the cat, it was dead but the moment you did you had created a world where you opened the box and saw it alive. Now the "Observation Effect" basically states that any observation of any phenomena rather conscious or non, changes the outcome of said phenomena upon its observation, making it impossible to ever truly observer or measure it. The “Quantum Suicide” theory says that because of the “Observation Effect” when you observed the cat you have already killed any possibility of uncertainty you had effectively changed the outcome from uncertain to finite by mere observation. But when talking about Quantum Suicide you are also referencing "Quantum Immortality" which takes advantage of "Quantum Suicide.” Let’s say you decided to hold that same experiment with that same cat over a hundred times. With the first experiment, you look into the box see that the cat is dead because of the “Observation Effect” you eliminated the possibility of it being alive in your reality, therefore despite only being the first experiment you can't continue. But at the same time, you technically created a world where it didn't die, through the “Many Worlds Theory.” So in that world you performed experiment again and that time it died and again you can't continue but by doing so you created another world where didn't die so you can continue to the 3rd expirment and so on and so on. That is the nature of Quantum Immortality and the power that I’ve described allows you take advantage of that and manipulate it to the way want.

''But, I think, should anything like that would actually be for real in the Tu aru world, it would be leaning more towards the Magical side, don't you think?  ''

    No, this is all based on quantum physics, the very foundation and development of esper powers are entirely based in quantum physics so it wouldn't make sense for it to be of magical origin. The creation of Esper powers are based on the concept of taking advantage of the “Uncertainty Principle” while eliminating the effect of the “Observation Effect” more specifically they are created from the espers perception of reality. The epser creates a reality unique only to them which is based on how they perceive normal reality. In this personal reality in which they created, their epser powers truly exist and the laws of physics are different than normal. So when they utilize their ability they are basically bringing forth their reality onto ours which allows them to wield their abilities.

''Also, when you can stop the whole world, that does not mean you will get everything the way you want since there are too many information need considering that will overwhelm you for sure.  ''

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Not exactly, think of it like trying to play through a visual novel on your first time and trying to get the good ending. If you had a list of all the possible choices and the all the outcomes of each choice there at the beginning it would be too much to follow. But if you had flow chart you can look at the desired ending and work your way back through simple process of elimination. It doesn't matter what types outcomes the different choices would result in, if you already know that making that choice won't lead you where you want, then it can be ignored. By working your way back from the desired result you can find what needs to be done in order to get there and ignore everything else and if you screw up then just reset to a point where you know it’s still good. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">
