The World is Not Enough: A New Theory of Parallel Universes is Proposed
universetoday.com ^ | on November 4, 2014 | Tim Reyes

Imagine if you were told that the world is simple and exactly as it seems, but that there is an infinite number of worlds just like ours. They share the same space and time, and interact with each other. These worlds behave as Newton first envisioned, except that the slightest interactions of the infinite number create nuances and deviations from the Newtonian mechanics. What could be deterministic is swayed by many worlds to become the unpredictable.

Schrödinger, in explaining his wave function and the interaction of two particles (EPR paradox) coined the term “entanglement”. In effect, the MIW theory is an entanglement of an infinite number of worlds but not in terms of a wave function. The theorists state that they were compelled to develop MIW theory to eliminate the need for a wave function to explain the Universe. This is the new theory about parallel universes explained by Australian and American theorists in a paper published in the journal Physics Review X. Called the “Many Interacting Worlds” theory (MIW), the paper explains that rather than standing apart, an infinite number of universes share the same space and time as ours. They show that their theory can explain quantum mechanical effects while leaving open the choice of theory to explain the universe at large scales. This is a fascinating new variant of Multiverse Theory that, in a sense, creates not just a doppelganger of everyone but an infinite number of them all overlaying each other in the same space and time.

The “Many Interacting Worlds” theory, presented by Michael Hall and Howard Wiseman from Griffith University in Australia, and Dirk-André Deckert from the University of California, Davis, differs from previous multiverse theories in that the worlds ..... coincide with each other, and are not just parallel.

Explains how we got conservatives screaming for more RINOs. The worlds crossed over. How do I get back to my world? Thats all I care about.

I've had that feeling since 1992.

So somewhere out there is a world in which the Mariners win the World Series?

No? Infinity isn't big enough to hold that one? Dang it.

I have previously and only partially jokingly on FR said that at some point in the 90s some star treckian cosmic event happened and reality split...that somewhere out there ‘my’ Earth went on without me. Maybe it really did.

Well, this isn’t about psychology.

But it could be PhysicsBabble, I suppose.

Nah... its psychobabble.... You gotta be a psycho to believe it. Told by psychos, believed by psychos, dreamed about by psychos. Babbled about by psychos... :)

All of this is based on the pointless quest to stuff quantum mechanics into the mode of thinking that became habit when Newton’s approximately correct physics made the universe look like clockwork.

I propose a simpler “interpretation” of quantum mechanics: the world is made of really weird stuff.
