Parrel universes proven (maybe...)

While I think its still debatable, it is nevertheless intriging.

 

[Solaris]

Not at all proven, just showing it's a mathematical possibility.

I don't like the idea of parallel universes and it's often misunderstood. It means a new universe for every quantum possibility, not every macro-possibility that we see in our world. Whether you die in a car crash has absolutely nothing to do with probability, it's deterministic, so there would be no other universe where you died in a crash.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I think the possibilities are infinite. One where you died 10 seconds earlier, and another where a simple molecule was moved 2 micrometers to the left.

You obviously have no understanding of the matter.

Hence the maybe in my title. It is proven, in the way that it is possible. But not acutally proven that they exist. Sort of like how it is possible that we live inside the matrix, but it hasn't been proven. (and likely wouldn't be ever)

The smallest change can make a large one, and if there are infinites number of these parallel universes (I'm not saying there are, just and idea), the possibilites are infinite. Anyways its just a thought.

 

[Dekstar]

That's pretty awesome. Don't think we'll ever be able to accurately predict an outcome of even something tiny like the side a coin will land any time soon.

OMFG, it's the TROUSERS OF TIME!!!

So you're saying that tiny quantum events have an actually probability and cannot be predicted, but larger scale events are all predictable and are caused by specific things?

Come down off the horse and talk with us common people. The guy was throwing a theory around, not stating it as an indisputable fact.

To the UU library!

 

[Reginald]

Sliding Doors. Now that was a sci-fi rom-com you could set your watch by.

And you know all of this as fact yes?

I have a time machine.

I hate articles like this because they probably didn't prove anything other than they have no idea of how something actually works so they are making something up because it sounds fun.
"The universe splits off into branches" give me a break.

 

[Raziaar]

Parallel universes don't exist. Perpendicular universes... maybe.

I really like this stuff, but I dont really care unless it's so big it's on the news. Know what I mean?

My god, you are a genus!

I'm just kind of a narcissistic skeptic, advocating the devil and being rude on occasion in general for the sake of amusing bewilderment.

But you, my friend, are a species.

 

[_Z_Ryuken]

Thank you for not saying "omg typo lol", for it was intentional!


Mua ahahhahhha!

 

[delusional]

Well you are right.

Anyway, perpendicular universes get rid of the cat that is both alive and dead at the same time paradox. And without perpendicular universes you have to deal with three times as many dimensions for every particle in the universe.

And the smaller forms of 'construction' we haven't found yet.

 

[delusional]

quarks?

 

[Smoke]

There's always something smaller, or bigger, that we haven't found.

Except, you know, this is physicists who know what there talking about. If we common folks could understand the math we'ed be able to see that the universe splits off as well.

 

[The Monkey]

So every time there're two or more possibilities of something happening, the universe splits? That's a lot of universes.

 

[Llama]

You obviously have no understanding of the matter.

Perhaps you shouldn't tell people they have no understanding of something unless you research it yourself.

not just any possibilities, but every possibility down to the atomic size, throughout the entire universe, so i reckon if this was true and that superspace is infinite, then you would be dealing with near infinite amount of universes

 

[Mr Stabby]

I think some of the parallel universe stuff sounds to philosophical to be considered science

So I didn't die? Phew, that's a relief.

The outcome of that experiment hinges on a quantum event so I am right.

@ Dues ex, I'm merely explaining the theory, I'm not saying it's true.

 

[Llama]

Except you told him he was 'Wrong', which was incorrect. So actually, you weren't right at all.

After briefly reading that, isn't the decay of the atom determined? I don't study physics nor pretend to have a great understanding of it but surely there is nothing truely random?

 

[Tyguy]

in another universe my penis jerks ME off

 

[kirovman]

It is a mathematical solution, but that in no way means it is a physical solution.
Only observations to ascertain the facts can do that.

I would also like to point out that it is reality that affects the mathematics of physics, it is not the mathematics of physics that affects reality.

 

[Solaris]

Except you told him he was 'Wrong', which was incorrect. So actually, you weren't right at all.

And he was wrong, there is no parallel universe where he died 10 years ago even if the theory is correct.

 

[Shakermaker]

Paralel universes make my head hurt.

 

[Solaris]

And no, the decay of an atom is not deterministic.

 

[Dan]

Solaris is right. Most people have lots of opinions without understanding. Impossible things are always impossible, even in a "parallel universe"

Hehe. Hey, have you gotten Making Money yet? I got it for half price in Waterstones, and it came with Ahnk-Morpork dollars
