wow i really shanked that explanation didnt i haha... what i was trying to say is that this alternate reality thing supports the idea of time travel because we would simply exist in another reality.. leaving everythign else alone and letting it go unchanged

Always remember that the "Many Worlds" interpretation is just one theory, not necessarily the "proven" law of quantum mechanics. In our current understanding of what the many worlds theory says, the only reality that truly matters to you is the one you are experiencing right now, since it is real-reality, our reality "of the moment". All that we can ever say really exists is the present moment... we know what happened in the past, but we're not there now, and we know that there will be a future, but we're not there either.

Other versions of you are in their own realities and there is no connection between them. In fact, if the theories are true, it would be impossible for any of those realities to ever mix on even an atomic level with "our" reality of the moment. This is because it would take more energy than the universe contains to tunnel through at even an atomic level to the other worlds. This seems to be a physical safety of the universe to keep us where we belong.

With the discussion we had today in class, and the whole talk about the Pope being alive in another reality, this gives whole new meaning to living in the moment I hadn't really given thought about what happens because of the decision I didn't make. But since your decisions kind of make whole other universes, your actions have almost momumental impacts!

thats true; what we decide here has a great impact on what the "other worlds" experience


but now lets say that WE in fact are one of the "other world" and our actions are influenced by another... HAHA now thats crazy...because we might think this is REAL reality....but im guessing the other universes also believe they are the real reality too

and someone had asked on what conditions do the "other worlds" form... is it just a choice between two events...or is it like the rollng a dice?

I hate to be a party pooper guys, but this is straight BS people! what this theory supposes is that i can get up from this chair pick a pair of dice and throw them randomly into the air, and every time i do this i create 36 new universes.... Bull shiat people.. just straight bull shiat!

I agree with jon it just seems so impossible hard to believe. Granted it might be happing right now but this theory is just to hard to believe.

it might not be as outrageous as 36 different universes ....that is hard to believe....but a second one to ours...yes is crazy...but easier to believe

Parallel universe's. Thats a whole different ball game

Even parallel universe's are hard to belive. The concept of another universe parallel to ours is unimaginable for me.

naw i think thats pretty cool actually.. i bet the ground is blue and the sky green....k not really but they would be the same except that everything is opposite right... anyways i dont mind getting into that ball game.... are you game jon?

I'm game... bring it haha

well just like in the other conversation ..where that girl talks about there being life on mars but we may not see nor be able to prove it because they are in a different dimension...see thats nuts..but i like it

Yeah hyperspace organisms... thats possible... to me thats the metaphysical like the afterlife. But i mean where do we draw the line between philosophy and physics. you know what i mean?

Ya i know what you mean John. Its because philosophy and physics are so closly realated when it comes to talking about the afterlife and such.

hyperspace organisms. whats that?

I do find these other universes hard to believe, BUT then again I find having all these dimensions hard to believe as well. How can you prove it, and yet how can you disprove it 100%. You can't. It is the same with religion, myths, and beliefs in certain cultures. Some may not be as far-fetched, but the principle and idea is the same. You just believe it.

yes okay but i mean take religion for example, the bible is something that you have to believe in and yet there really is no good proof for it. Where as physics there is constant developments being made that help us to further our beliefs in mutliple dimensions or even existence in other organisms. so what i'm trying to say is that physics really isn't a myth but rather a puzzle in which we have to not only find the piece but make it fit the big picture

That's true, we have to just believe and understand the theories and such....the problem that scientists and physicts have is to make all of this theory connect....like crystal said "The Big Picture."
