Abstract
The status of the uncertainty relations varies between the different interpretations of quantum mechanics. The aim of the current paper is to explore their meanings within a certain neo-Everettian many worlds interpretation. We will also look at questions that have been linked with the uncertainty relations since Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: those of joint and repeated measurement of non-commuting (or otherwise `incompatible') observables. This will have implications beyond the uncertainty relations, as we will see the fundamentally different way in which statistical statements are interpreted in the neo-Everett theory that we use.
