Freaky Physics Proves Parallel Universes Exist
Foxnews.com ^ | April 5, 2010 | John Brandon

Posted on 04/06/2010 1:03:26 PM PDT by GiovannaNicoletta

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.

This is just a way for the Obama administration to go back in time and retroactively raise taxes.

It is a little known fact that there actually is no parallel parking in parallel universes.

Interesting how things a science paper says “may” or “could” be possible become “a proven scientific fact” once the media gets ahold of it, especially when recounted a few months later.

If he split the universe, how did he obeserve the paddie in both universes at the same time from this one?

People didn’t know this?
Buddhists have seen it over and over.
To see your past and future selves,
stand between the two mirrors of your
intellect and consciousness.

UC Santa Barbara's Andrew Cleland cooled that paddle in a refrigerator, dimmed the lights and, under a special bell jar, sucked out all the air to eliminate vibrations. He then plucked it like a tuning fork and noted that it moved and stood still at the same time.

Did it actually do that, or did it just look that way because of the 120 hertz strobing effect from the lights?

The Bible indicated there is at least one parallel universe ... see chaptyer five of the Old Testament book of Daniel. The rest of the being whose hand showed up in Belshazzar’s party central had to be in some other where/when to which he/she/it withdrew the arm after writing on the palace wall.

Reminds me of Firesign Theatre's:

They are all parallel, or perpendicular.

I’m still waiting to be able to say, “Beam me up, Scotty!”

Oh, you can say it NOW. They just won’t hear you for
many years, but if it’s any consolation suddenly you’ll
just wink out when they do.

Older FReepers may recall Father Guido Sarducci of Saturday Night Live in the 1970s...

I don't know whether Fr. Sarducci had a position on a parallel universe, but he did believe in a duplicate Earth. The other planet is in Earth's orbit, on the exact opposite side of the Sun, so that we never see it. (Fr. Sarducci never explained why photos from outer space never revealed the other planet.)

According to Fr. Sarducci, every human on Earth has an exact twin on the other planet. There is only one difference: people on the other planet hold their ears of corn vertically while eating it from the cob.

Sounds perfectly plausible to me.

There are no parallel universes.

There are only universal parallels.

For scientists, they aren’t very ‘smart’.

The ‘trick’ is in the viewing. Like electrons, the paddle is moving (vibrating).

If one views an electron, it may be ‘here’, or ‘there’. It depends on ‘when’ you look.

I can take a tuning fork, and thump it. It will vibrate.
Now, if I use a strobe light, the tuning fork appears to be standing still.

If I look at a spinning fan blade, sometimes it appears to be going backwards. Is that also proof that one can go BACKWARDS in time?
