Many Worlds Interpretation

If You Don’t Like Reading About The Multiverse There’s A Parallel Universe Where You Love It by Ariel Biederman

With every decision you make, you know there will be some sort of outcome. But how big is that outcome? Bigger than you think. Every time make a choice, an entire universe is created in which you make a different choice. This is called The Many Worlds Interpretation, established by Hugh Everett III, which basically states that multiple branes (each a universe) collide, causing Big Bangs. The universes bounce back and pass through time until they are pulled back, but do not collapse, making each possibility an actuality. This would make every single possibility a reality somewhere sometime.

In contrast to The Many Worlds Interpretation is John Wheelers Anthropic principle, which states that an observer is needed to cause the collapse of a wavefuntion, and not just branes bouncing into each other. A good example of this idea is the experiment of Schrodinger’s cat. In this trial, a cat is put in a sealed box with a flask of poison and radioactive matter. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (just one atom decaying) the flask will shatter and the poison will kill the cat. This makes the cat simultaneously alive AND dead until you open the box and make an observation.

Another popular thought is string theorist Brian Greene’s 9 types of parallel universes. These 9 types cover each of the different ways parallel universes could exist. The first of the nine is quilted. Quilted universes could only work in an infinite universe. With an infinite amount of space, every possible event will occur and infinite number of times. However, the speed of light prevents us of being aware of these other identical areas. The next ty...

Although there is not proof of any of this information being true, there are still several clues or pieces of evidence that leads some people to believe that parallel universes exist. One example is ghosts and paranormal activity. Some say that ghosts are just from parallel universes that are bleeding into our own. There might even be a realm of the dead! Along with ghosts, dreams could have something to do with parallel universes. It is said that sleep is just a slice of death could dreams be a window to an alternate universe? Déjà vu also could have something to do with the multiverse theory. You may think the person you are meeting for the first time looks familiar, but you can’t put your finger on why. Parallel universe. You can think you’ve done something before already. Parallel universe. Walk into a room and forget why? Parallel universe!
