Can anyone explain any theory concerning a parallel universe?

Question

I just read a question about a parallel universe, but I don't know the theory of it.

Answer 1

The prevailing theory that you're looking for is "The Many Universes Theory". Basically what it state is that for every characteristic that a subatomic particles or any other object exhibits, there is a corresponding parallel universe in which it is the prevailing particle/object. How this works is this.......when a quantum system is not being observed, it exists with all of its characteristics being simultaneously prevelant. This is known as Superposition. So, it can be shown mathematically that these superposed state exist in their own spacetime, including the superposed state which defines our own universe. So long as the total quantum system remains unobserved, all states belong on an equal footing. However, the act of making an observation causes all the superposed states to collapse into the one state from which the observation is being made from, and since you or I are making it from a particular universe, then all the other states collapse into the state in which we exist. That doesn't mean that they don't exist any longer, just that their "existence" function approaches 0% and ours approaches 100%. That also means that the characteristics of the object/particle which belong to this universe are the ones which we observe it with. It's a case of probabilities.....our universe having a probability of 1, or unity (because we live here), and another universe having a probability of various factors. And because the Law of Superposition allows for an almost infinite number of probabilities, it goes without saying that there are an equal number of universes as well. It also means that from the perspective of each universe, those that live there see it with a probability of 1 or unity, and our universe would show a fractional function depending on how much we had in common with that universe.

The best way of looking at the probabilities is to set them in a circle with X and Y co-ordinates delineating the circle.....with our universe being X=1 Y=0. All the other possibilities lie in between, with those possibilities lying closer to us in co-ordinate space being more like our universe than others lying some distance away. Each straight line equation in the system would represent an individual universe and for that universe the probability function would equal 1 (as explained above).

So, in many of the other universes, there's another you which is typing words into their computer, or having lunch, or flying in a plane.....whatever. The only reason you don't notice them is that for you here, their existence has collapsed into yours. If you could change the orientation of your present quantum system, you would then experience whatever your otherselves were doing, however you'd only experience one at a time. To experience the lot all at once, you'd have to move outside of the total quantum system. You'd have to lie outside of space and time completely. Another thing you'd notice is this......what we perceive time to be is not what time ACTUALLY is. Even in jumping from one universe to the other, you'd notice that time is not the one way vectorial and linear phenomenon that it appears to be. You'd find that all of time.....past, present and future belongs to the now. In effect it wouldn't exist as you know it. You could choose what was past, present and future because they'd all equally exist simultaneously. Time travel would be as simple as choosing what to observe and then moving into that state. Einstein's theories don't prevail here because they can't model these type of systems. They may be relative but they're still time dependant. There are no causal loops or time paradoxes, no speed limits. Just pure existence where everything is viewable and knowable all at once and to experience any of them just takes for one to make an observation of the particular universe you were interested in. The key point in all of this is this....consciousness and existence are linked together in very subtle and intimate ways. More so than you may know or imagine. To get a basic idea of this, you can also look at both the weak and strong anthropomorphic principles. They're flawed, but they will help you to understand some of the underpinnings of these areas of quantum physics.

Answer 2

I shall agree with Max P.
I have not read Hawkins' books.. but I second.
I'll give u though some cramps (out of food) for thought.

"Thy shall not kill"

being translated , to my understanding, "do not exterminate other universes". and that's the reason why suicide is condemned. the suicidal person exterminates the "universe" whithin him. I am not following any religion pathway, so don't take my words as part of religious(blindfold) follower.

Answer 3

I do not know what background you have.

But the topic requires a certain background to be understood.

It's really impossible to explain it here in this small space.

If you are just an amateur then read the two books i am suggesting..

Brief history of time------Stephen Hawking

Black holes and baby universes-----Stephen Hawking

Answer 4

A parallel universe would be a universe on another membrane than our own.

Answer 5

Read Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku...that will explain it.

Answer 6

There is no theory only speculative statements or dreams
