Freaky Physics Proves Parallel Universes Exist

Look past the details of a wonky discovery by a group of California scientists -- that a quantum state is now observable with the human eye -- and consider its implications: Time travel may be feasible. Doc Brown would be proud.

The strange discovery by quantum physicists at the University of California Santa Barbara means that an object you can see in front of you may exist simultaneously in a parallel universe -- a multi-state condition that has scientists theorizing that traveling through time may be much more than just the plaything of science fiction writers.

I think we’re ALL bozos on this bus

[green pastures]

That's just a fancy way of saying...
"I wish I had combed my hair and shaved first." ;^)

Well, I'll go so far as the combed my hair part. Or the parted my hair part. As a female, however, I'm still a few years off from having to start the face shaving-- I hope! Or at least I can hope that the cascading images growing infinitely smaller and smaller will obscure any annoying chinny chin chin hairs.

I would like to go to a universe with no Obama, no Muslims, and a 500 mile wide sea between the US and Mexico.

I already posted this article next week.

Universes with perpendicular parking generally don't have a well-developed car culture . . .

[TigersEye]

ROTFLOL My apologies for an embarrassing assumption and kudos to your sense of humor. May you have perfect facial smoothness in all universes. Except the ones where it’s considered attractive. And the ones where you are a male. And the ones where we are feathered like birds, the ones where we have scales, the ones where we have exoskeletons, the ones ... well, you get the idea.

[green pastures]

Thanks— I think. ;-)

Gotta say I’d never considered the exoskeleton angle before now.

Hmm. Eww. That’s almost as bad as the ones where we look like Helen Thomas. (Or perhaps, that’s redundant...)

;-)

[green pastures]

Well, that’s certainly another angle to consider... LOL

Btw, your tag line reminds me of one of my favorite quotations— “What if there were no hypothetical situations?”

But there are serial universes.

[plinyelder]

YEAH .. What He said!

[ColdWater]

Nice try. I was referring to theories that pertain to creation, such as the parallel universe theory. ...but of course, you knew that.

You miss the point. But, that is not unexpected.

[Some hope remaining.]

See? I was right. ;)

There is an even more interesting possibility.

When you think about it, locality has basically been destroyed by the work of Bell and his inequality.

But Bell’s inequalities, and the quantum entanglement that result, cannot be said to be confined only to the spacial dimensions - ot must be admitted that entanglement in the time dimension could exist as well.

So what happens this instant COULD affect or change something in the future... or the past!

As far as I understand it, anyways.

[MHGinTN]

The Bible showed there are ‘parallel universes’ way back in the Book of Daniel, chapter five. The ‘proof’ was visible to Belshazzar and his entire palace party central. Scared him so bad his knees knocked together!

[MHGinTN]

The Bible already ‘proved’ time travel ... Jesus shows up in the Old Testament, centuries BEFORE He was born in Bethlehem.

[LomanBill]

Bullshyte.

There is no “time travel”, there are no Parallel Universes in the Matrix....

No Big Foot or little green men at area 51.

And human reproduction still requires a Male and a Female.

Or as the Geico Drill Sergreant/Therapist might say:

REALITY - Observe it and deal with with, ya Jackwagons.

[LomanBill]

>>REALITY - Observe it and deal with with, ya Jackwagons.

REALITY - Observe it and deal with IT, ya Jackwagons.

I’ll have to check the actual paper.

No one has seen a parallel universe.
