Many Interacting Worlds theory: Scientists propose existence and interaction of parallel worlds

[n2doc]

In a paper published in the prestigious journal Physical Review X, Professor Howard Wiseman and Dr Michael Hall from Griffith's Centre for Quantum Dynamics, and Dr Dirk-Andre Deckert from the University of California, take interacting parallel worlds out of the realm of science fiction and into that of hard science.

The team proposes that parallel universes really exist, and that they interact. That is, rather than evolving independently, nearby worlds influence one another by a subtle force of repulsion. They show that such an interaction could explain everything that is bizarre about quantum mechanics

Quantum theory is needed to explain how the universe works at the microscopic scale, and is believed to apply to all matter. But it is notoriously difficult to fathom, exhibiting weird phenomena which seem to violate the laws of cause and effect.

1. Interesting

I thought the multiverses were separate entities. That they might be more like a body where systems interact with each other while also being separtate things is not something I had ever considered.

3. Read David Deutsch's

The Fabric of Reality. Really good read by a seminal force in theoretical physics and quantum computing.

2. I knew it!

4. Well I want to jump back over to

a string of reality that splintered off around 1970 and continue from there. Since then, I've always felt I was living in the wrong dimension where experience and facts exponentially disassociate. Where we are now just isn't what's supposed to be... for me.

Let me off! I want to get on that other train.

5. Bad news, your in the right dimension.

But it could be worse "you" could be in an even worse dimension like say one where Palin is president.

6. Ahhhhhhhh!

7. In another universe, I'm wealthy, have a full head of hair and

am world renown for my artistic ability.

but alas, here I am. The complete opposite.
