Physicists reveal sensational findings which could allow science fiction dreams to become reality
Professor Howard Wiseman and Dr Michael Hall, from Griffith University’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, claim that the idea of parallel universes is more than just science fiction.
Fellow researcher Dr Dirk-Andre Deckert, from the University of California, helped further the researchers’ theory, which goes against almost all conventional understanding of space and time.
If there really are multiple, interacting universes, then it would be possible for time travellers to visit Earth, and every imaginable scenario would be played out in a parallel universe at some point.
The team’s ‘Many Interacting Worlds Theory’ provides a whole new perspective on the ideas underpinning quantum theory, a notoriously complex strand of physics.
Professor Wiseman said: “The idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957.
“In the well-known ‘Many-Worlds Interpretation’, each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made.
“All possibilities are therefore realised – in some universes the dinosaur-killing asteroid missed Earth. In others, Australia was colonised by the Portuguese.
“But critics question the reality of these other universes, since they do not influence our universe at all.
“On this score, our ‘Many Interacting Worlds’ approach is completely different, as its name implies.”
According to the theory, our universe is just one of many enormous worlds, with some identical to our reality and others completely different.
The Express reports that the worlds are all real, and all on the same timeline, but interact when they essentially bump into each other.
Dr Hall believes that the group’s sensational theory fits with current scientific understanding, offering a new perspective rather than rewriting the physics rule book completely.
He said: “The beauty of our approach is that if there is just one world our theory reduces to Newtonian mechanics, while if there is a gigantic number of worlds it reproduces quantum mechanics.
“In between it predicts something new that is neither Newton’s theory nor quantum theory.
“We also believe that, in providing a new mental picture of quantum effects, it will be useful in planning experiments to test and exploit quantum phenomena.”

Beam me up Mr. Scott!
Cool! How do you tune in to these alternate realities sans drugs?

What about relativity?
I hate it when wine bottles talk back, which is why I always kill them quickly as possible.
So there are infinite universes like the one in which I burped twice today instead of once, on and on for every tedious “decision” down to the molecular level. Unlikely that infinite us exist.
I can understand the Many Worlds Theory and why some believe it is plausible, but I never bought into it because if there is a Multiverse, then why should Cosmic Nature repeat something even if there is some variation?
If there were an infinite number of Big Bangs, then why is it necessary to have variants of each one? It makes no sense to me.
My belief is that there are multiple universes each with its own set of physics and events.
My reply with examples...#13.
It's being called the Mandela Effect.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
My birthday is in December...Sagittarius. It made remembering the Sagittarius arm of the galaxy easily memorable. Now we're in the Orion Spur?
Things are crazy, I'm not.
The author used to play guitar for the Beatles ... I don’t trust anything he says
Are these also the glowbull warming scientists ?
Reading wayyyyy too much into those sci-fi books it appears.
Nice try, but there is absolutely no evidence of multiple universes. Science however, points to a ‘big bang’, a ‘singularity’ from which energy, matter and time originated. Sounds ‘suspiciously’ like, ‘In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.’ Of course, atheists will try ANYTHING to avoid admitting that there is a God whom they have to answer to. Good luck with that!
Does this mean obama is from the near future but Trump is from the distant future?
Yesterday..all my troubles seem so far away..
May be that is what UFO's are. They don't make contact so as not to screw with our timeline. Love time travel stuff, but believe it just to be equations on a white board for theoretical physicists. Massage the math enough and you get a new theory. Sorry, I believe time to be a human construct.
Nailed it, and saved me a ton of typing. Thanks.
fake news
I wonder if the Colts are playing good football in one of these other universes. They’re getting their butts kicked by the Raiders.
Times Travelers
Time cops police all those time bandits.
Unless Vandal Savage interferes.
