I read in a book written by Michael Crichton (Time line), that a proof or method of deteriming that parrell universes exists, is by splitting a photon of light. I realise the book is a fictional novel, but I know Michael Crichton, extensively researches his novels, beofer he publishes anything. Basically, if you take a beam of light, i.e. a tourch and shine it at a cardboard that has holes in it, and the cardboard is held a few inches in front of a white wall. the Photons of light split, such that a reflection is made on the white wall. However if you apply filiters to that light, to the extent that only 1 photon remains (i.e. it cannot be split any further) , the reflection (all be it a very faint one), still remains, indicating that the photon was indeed split (which would be impossible?). This refelction is the result of a parrell universes effect on this "world/universe".
My question is...Is the above statement correct, and why?
