Parallel universe proof boosts time travel hopes

Until then, particles occupy nebulous "superposition" states, in which they can have simultaneous "up" and "down" spins, or appear to be in different places at the same time.

Emptiness is not other than form.
Form is not other than emptiness. ..."

There are no parallel universes. There is only one universe.
“time travel” is impossible.

[Danae]

Interesting, if Scary. Scary because it makes perfect sense to me.

This begs the question: “Why is the run gone?” Just kidding, in this universe anyway...

[Danae]

I grok him too.

[RipSawyer]

Try telling that to a Darwinist on a crevo thread.

I think it would be the creationists who are more likely to DISAGREE with that post rather than the “Darwinist”, I presume that by Darwinist you mean someone who believes evolution is a more valid theory than creationism.

Granted these are out-of-context, but that's the mathematical basis of quantum theory. Discussing it while ignoring these equations is pointless, wrong, and self-deluding.

Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics

[RipSawyer]

Facts are what we see. Theories are our explanation for the facts. Even when the explanation is backed up by trillions of pieces of fact, and is basically irrefutable (such as the theory of evolution), it still remains a theory, because that’s what it is, a theory, an explanation.

Try explaining that to a bunch of die-hard creationists, you will probably travel through a lot of time before you ever make one understand what you are saying.

I can only assume you are correct, the equations are unknown to me, that is why I don’t discuss quantum theory. The definition of just what sound is appears to me to lie totally outside of quantum theory. As for the existence of parallel universes, I leave that speculation to others.

There’s no point in doing that, in my opinion. Just a clear statement of what I think and then an agree-to-disagree. The purpose of this website isn’t to get all didactic in the sciences. People think what they think on these subjects. That’s fine. What’s much more important, in my opinion, here on FR, is to stay connected on as many Conservative Principles as we all can. Look for as many points of agreement as we can.

We all have a big battle coming up in ‘08. An apocalyptic battle. I don’t care if the soldier at my side disagrees with me on some question of science.

Just when my frazzled nerves start to unwind you have to go and remind me of that. I can’t think about it all the time without going mad.

[samtheman]

I know. If we lose, we’re going to look back on the final Lame Duck years of the Bush presidency as the Halcyon days.

[Grizzled Bear]

Last night I was reading a CREVO thread. The contrast with this one is striking.

---

That’s because too many on both sides of the CREVO argument are more concerned about being “right” than in truth and honest, respectful debate.

I still get pings and read the articles. I stopped reading the comments.

Umm... Can somebody point me toward the parallel universe where Bill Clinton was shot by a jealous husband and Ted Kennedy didn’t make it out of the submerged car. I want to live in that one.

[bruinbirdman]

I cannot find a flaw in the formulation.

Thanks Las Vegas Dave. I think I want to travel forward to the time when I get to do the dirty with Billie Piper.

[SunkenCiv]

Strong smell, and the call box has one of those air freshener trees hanging in it...

[Colonel_Flagg]

So, in a parallel universe Al Gore won the election, John Kerry won the election....

And perhaps in another one Bill Clinton was never elected and Hillary is in prison. Which, come to think of it, would be my kind of universe ...

[arthurus]

Its still not time travel because you are not going backward or forward in time, just hopping over to other streams.

Gort protect us.
