Do you think that parallel Universes are just an invention of science fiction writers? Not at all. Scientists around the world have been approaching the solution for a long time parallel worlds and are finding more and more evidencethat they really exist. Until now, scientists have limited themselves only to theoreticalmodels of parallel Universes, but over the past 10 years several scientificconfirmation of these theories.

The first confirmation was found during the study of a map of cosmic microwave background radiationspace. Let us recall that cosmic microwave background radiation is electromagnetic radiation in Space,which was discovered in the 20th century. Its existence was predicted by astrophysicist GeorgiyGamow, who is one of the creators of the Big Bang theory. According to this theory, inprimordial electromagnetic radiation must exist in outer space,appeared with the formation of the Universe.

In 1983, experiments were carried out to measure the cosmic microwave background radiation, as a result of whichIt turned out that the temperature of this radiation is not uniform throughout space. This is how maps of cosmic microwave background radiation appeared, on which colder and hotter areas are marked. ExceptIn addition, accurate measurements of the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation were made using satellites, andit turned out that it fully corresponds to the radiation spectrum of a completely black body with a temperature 2.725 Kelvin.

Let's go back to the present day. In 2010, scientists from University College London, studying mapscosmic microwave background radiation, discovered several round zones with anomalously high temperature radiation. According to scientists, these “potholes” appeared as a result of the collision of our Universe with parallel Universes due to their gravitational influence. Scientists suggest that our worldis just a small “bubble” floating in space and colliding with othersworlds-Universes similar to it. There have been no fewer such collisions since the Big Bang.four, say the researchers.

Another confirmation of the theory of parallel worlds was discovered by mathematicians from Oxford. Byin their opinion, only the theory of splitting the Universe into an infinite number of parallel worldscan explain some phenomena of quantum mechanics. As is known, one of the fundamentallaws of quantum mechanics is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle states that forit is impossible to simultaneously determine the same particle exact speed and exact location (coordinates in space and trajectory). And this is not a theory, this isa fact that scientists have encountered in advanced research. Trying to measure the particle's speed, they could not determine itlocation, and while trying to identify the position, they could not measure the speed. Thus,both began to be determined by probabilistic characteristics.

In general, all quantum mechanics is built on probabilities, since precise measurements in it are practicallyimpossible. Many scientists who undertook the study of quantum phenomena came to the conclusion thatour Universe is not completely deterministic, that is, it is only a collection

Probabilities. For example, the famous photon experiment, where a beam of light is directed atplate with slits, showed that in principle it is impossible to determine which photon passed throughwhat kind of gap, but you can create a so-called “probability distribution” picture.

Thus, scientists from Oxford concluded that it was Hugh Everett's theory of fissionuniverse into many copies of itself can explain the probabilistic nature of quantummeasurements. Hugh Everett is one of the founders of the theory of the existence of parallel realities. In the mid-20th century, he presented a dissertation on the topic of the splitting of worlds. According tohis theory, every moment our Universe creates an infinite number of copies of itself, and theneach copy continues to split in the same way. Splitting is caused by our decisions and actions,each of which has countless options for implementation. Everett's theory is longremained unnoticed and, of course, was not taken seriously. However, they remembered her afterfruitless attempts to explain the absolute uncertainty of quantum phenomena and states.

Of course, science fiction writers were the first to write about parallel worlds, but gradually their ideas migrated toscientific direction. Since then, the idea that the theory of parallel Universes has become stronger in the minds of scientistsmay become a new scientific paradigm in the future. Hugh Everett's ideas were developed and supportedsuch scientists as Andrei Linde - professor of physics at Stanford University, Martin Rees -Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics at the University of Cambridge, Max Tegmark is Professor of Physics andastronomy at the University of Pennsylvania, etc. Perhaps very interesting discoveries await us in the future.

If you are a lover of scientific secrets and the latest discoveries, then pay attention to the sensational books by Anastasia Novykh called “Sensei” (below is one of the quotes from these books). From them you can learn even more about the mysteries of the universe, as well as scientific discoveries, on the threshold of which modern Scientists are just standing. It's surprising, but many recent discoveries by scientists were described in detail in books several years before they were announced. You have a rare opportunity to find out what really awaits us.

Scientists prove the existence of parallel worlds.

“Parallel universes exist”: The theory states that many variations of Us live in alternative worlds that interact with each other.

Researchers claim that Parallel Worlds constantly influence each other.

This happens because, instead of collapse, in which quantum particles “choose” whether to occupy one state or another, they actually occupy both states simultaneously.

The theory may solve some of the puzzles in quantum mechanics.

The theory suggests that some worlds are almost identical to ours, but most of them are different.

The theory may one day allow us to penetrate these worlds.

According to a controversial theory proposed in 1997 by theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena, the universe is a hologram and everything you see—including this article and the device you're reading it on—is simply a projection.
So far this amazing theory has not been tested, but recent mathematical models show that the stunning principle may be true.
According to the theory, gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings.

These strings are holograms of events that occur in a simpler, flatter cosmos.

Professor Maldacena's model suggests that the universe exists simultaneously in nine dimensions of space.

In December, Japanese researchers tried to solve this problem by providing mathematical evidence that the holographic principle may be correct.
The holographic principle suggests that, like a security chip on a credit card, for example, there is a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which in this case is our Universe.
Essentially, the principle states that data containing a description of a volume of space—for example, a person or a comet—may be hidden in the region of this flattened, “real” version of the universe.

For example, in a black hole, all objects that ever fall into it will be entirely preserved in the vibrations of the surface. This means that objects will be stored almost as a "memory" or piece of data, but not as an existing real object.
Like Everett, Professor Wiseman and his colleagues propose that the Universe in which we exist is only one of a gigantic number of worlds.
They believe these worlds are almost identical to ours, while most of them are completely different.
All these worlds are equally real, existing continuously in time, and have precisely defined properties.

They suggest that quantum phenomena arise from a universal repulsive force between 'neighboring' worlds, making them even more different.
Dr Michael Hall from the Griffith Center for Quantum Dynamics added that the Many Interacting Worlds Theory could even create a unique opportunity to experiment and search for these worlds.
“The beauty of our approach is that if there is only one world, our theory reduces to Newtonian mechanics, and if there is a gigantic number of worlds it reproduces quantum mechanics,” he says.

Modern science fiction writers have not come up with absolutely anything new; they have only borrowed ideas that other worlds exist from ancient beliefs and civilizations. Hell and Paradise, Svarga, Valhalla and Olympus are just some examples of alternative worlds that are very different from the world we are used to.

Repeated research by scientists proves that the parallel world is a reality; it exists simultaneously with ours, but quite independently. This reality may have various sizes, from a small area to the whole universe. Events there take place in their own way, and may differ from what happens in our world, both in small insignificant details and radically. For many centuries, humanity coexists quite peacefully with the inhabitants of parallel universes, but at certain moments the boundaries between worlds become transparent, causing a transition from one world to another.

It is worth saying that humanity has long been thinking about the problem of the existence of parallel worlds. The first mention of the possibility of the existence of such worlds can be found in the works of ancient Greek philosophers. As humanity developed, the list of inexplicable phenomena only increased, and scientists came close to unraveling the essence of an alternative reality.

The famous thinker from Italy Giordano Bruno, who said that there were other inhabited worlds besides ours, became a victim of the Inquisition, since his ideas fundamentally contradicted the generally accepted picture of the world. Today, scientists are no longer burned at the stake for such thoughts, however, ideas regarding the existence of parallel universes continue to occupy the minds of scientists. In this case, we are not talking at all about the existence of inhabitants of other planets, but about the presence of some kind of alternative reality that exists around us.

The question of whether parallel worlds exist causes a huge amount of controversy, which has given rise to a very large number of theories. So, according to Einstein, next to our world there is another, which is a mirror image of our world. There is an opinion that the mystery of alternative reality lies in the existence of the so-called fifth dimension, that is, in addition to the time dimension and three spatial ones, there is another one, by opening which humanity will have the opportunity to travel between parallel worlds. At the same time, according to Vladimir Arshinov, Doctor of Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation, at the moment we can talk about the existence of a much larger number of worlds, because scientists already know models of the world containing 11, 267, 26 dimensions. It is impossible to see them because they are rolled up. In such a multidimensional space, the scientist is sure, events and things are possible that at first glance seem impossible and incredible. Arshinov is also convinced that other worlds may look different. The simplest option is the looking glass that Einstein spoke about, where everything that seems true to us is perceived as a lie.

Be that as it may, people are much more interested in whether it is possible to see or even touch these alternative worlds. Arshinov proves that if you believe in the existence of a reality mirroring ours, then once there, you can move through time and space without any problems. If you go back, you get the effect of a time machine. To make this theory more clear, let's give a small example. Ballistic missiles are not capable of traveling great distances because there is not enough fuel to do so. Therefore, they are launched into orbit, where these rockets, almost by inertia, reach their intended target, and then “fall” on the other side of the planet. Using the same principle, you can move other objects, if only you find an entrance to a parallel reality. But the problem is that scientists have not yet been able to find this entrance...

If we take into account the existing physical laws, then it cannot be denied that communication between parallel worlds can be carried out through quantum tunnel transitions. The author of this hypothesis is physicist Christopher Monroe. He claims that theoretically it turns out that it is possible to move from one world to another, but this will require a huge amount of energy, which is not even available in the entire universe. Therefore, in practice it turns out that such a transition is not feasible.

However, there is another option, according to which the transitions between worlds are located in black holes - these are, in fact, funnels that suck in energy. Cosmologists argue that these black holes can serve as paths from one reality to another and back again. According to the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, senior researcher at the State Astronomical Institute. Sternberg Vladimir Surdin, it is theoretically possible for the existence of space-time structures resembling wormholes that would connect parallel worlds. At least mathematics does not deny the possibility of their existence. This theory is also supported by Dmitry Galtsov, professor at Moscow State University, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. He claims that these wormholes are one of the options for moving from one world to another at great speed. True, there is one significant problem - no one has found these holes yet...

Some confirmation of this theory could be the discovery of how new stars arise. For a long period of time, astronomers cannot understand the nature of the origin of some bodies that exist in the sky. Outwardly, it looks like the appearance of matter from emptiness. If we assume that the emergence of new celestial bodies is a splashing of matter from a parallel universe into our world, then we can assume that any other body can move to a parallel world. However, this hypothesis contradicts the Big Bang theory, which is the generally accepted description of the origin of the universe.

According to Australian parapsychologist Jean Grimbriar, among the anomalous zones around the world there are about forty tunnels, which are transitions to parallel worlds. Of these, 4 are located in Australia, 7 in America. Hundreds of people disappear there every year. What all these hellish tunnels have in common are the screams and moans that are heard from the depths. One of the most famous anomalous places is a cave in national park in California, where you can enter but not leave. In this case, no traces of the missing remain. Similar anomalous places exist in Russia, in particular, we're talking about about one mine near Gelendzhik. This is a straight well, the diameter of which is approximately one and a half meters, and its walls seem to be polished. A few years ago a man ventured down there. At a depth of about 40 meters, a sharp increase in background radiation was noticed. This researcher did not dare to go down further. There is an assumption that this mine has no bottom, that another life flows there, and time flies much faster. If you believe the legends, then once a young man went down into the mine, stayed there for a week, and came back completely old and gray-haired.

A resident of a small Greek village, Ioannos Kolofidis, who spent just over an hour in it, came out of the well just as gray-haired and old. The well was also considered bottomless; the water that was taken from this well was always icy. When it came time to clean it, Kolofidis volunteered to do it. He put on a special wetsuit and went down into the mine. What happened there is unknown, but his assistants, having pulled the man to the surface, were shocked, because in front of them was a real old man in shabby clothes and with a long beard. A few years later he died. During the autopsy, it was determined that the cause of death was...old age!

Another similar well is located in the Kaliningrad region. Several years ago, in one of the villages, two men agreed to dig a well. When they were at a depth of about 10 meters, they heard human groans coming from underground. The diggers were terrified, so they got out of the mine as quickly as possible. The local population avoids this place, believing that it was there that the Nazis carried out mass executions.

However, wells are not the only place where very strange things happen. So, in particular, women disappeared some time ago in one of the Scottish castles. Its owner, Robert McDogley, purchased the uninhabitable building solely out of love for various kinds of exotic things. According to him, one day he lingered in the basement, where he discovered ancient books on black magic. Soon it became completely dark, and the man saw a blue glow that came from the central hall. As it turned out, the light came from the portrait, which daytime it looked so worn out that even the drawing was difficult to see. When this glow appeared, Robert was able to see the man depicted in the portrait, who was dressed very strangely, because his wardrobe contained elements of costumes from many eras (from the fifteenth to the twentieth century). When the man came closer, the portrait fell right on top of him. Sir Robert managed to escape, but soon rumors about what was happening in the castle spread throughout the area. Tourists began to appear. One day two women appeared, entered a niche located behind the portrait and disappeared into thin air. Rescue efforts came to nothing, and the women were never found. According to psychics, a passage to a parallel world opened in the castle, where the tourists ended up.

Thus, theories about the existence of parallel worlds are just beautiful model, a way to explain what cannot be explained.

But, according to some researchers, the most advanced theory is the theory of superstrings, that is, distortions in space and time. In size, these cosmic strings can be significantly larger than the universe, but in thickness they do not exceed the size of the nucleus of an atom. The theory has not yet found practical confirmation. Therefore, physicists have to be content with building theoretical models of other worlds.

Thus, for the first time in modern science (in the 50s of the last century), the theory of the multidimensionality of worlds was put forward by Hugh Everett, who made the assumption that every day the universe splits into a large number of universes, each of which also splits. As a result, a huge number of worlds appear in which man exists. Three decades later it was put forward new theory, authored by Andrei Linde. He created a model in which new universes are born continuously. In the 1990s, another theory of worlds appeared - the theory of Martin Rees. According to it, the probability of the origin of life in the universe is so small that it looks more like an accident. Parallel worlds are also accidentally born, which serve as a place for conducting experiments to create life. And finally, the newest theory was put forward at the beginning of the new century by Max Tegmark, who expressed confidence that different universes differ not only in cosmological properties and location, but also in physical laws.

Thus, modern science is not yet able to either confirm or refute any of the theories. So why not believe in the existence of a parallel universe?

The belief in the existence of invisible neighbors borders on fantasy. Or with a sick imagination. That's what the skeptics say. And supporters stand their ground and give as many as 10 arguments in favor of an alternative reality.

1. Many-Worlds Interpretation

The question of the uniqueness of all things worried great minds long before the authors of science fiction novels. They thought about it ancient greek philosophers Democritus, Epicurus and Metrodorus of Chios. Alternate universes are also discussed in sacred texts Hindus.

For official science, this idea was born only in 1957. American physicist Hugh Everett created the theory of many worlds, designed to fill gaps in quantum mechanics. In particular, find out why light quanta behave either like particles or like waves.

According to Everett, each event leads to a split and copying of the Universe. In this case, the number of “clones” is always equal to the number of possible outcomes. And the sum of the central and new universes can be depicted in the form of a branched tree.

2. Artifacts of unknown civilizations

Some finds baffle even the most experienced archaeologists.

For example, a hammer discovered in London, dated to 500 million BC, that is, a period when there was not even a hint of Homosapiens on Earth!

Or a computing mechanism that allows you to determine the trajectory of stars and planets. A bronze analogue of the computer was caught in 1901 near the Greek island of Antikythera. Research on the device began in 1959 and continues to this day. In the 2000s, it was possible to calculate the approximate age of the artifact - 1st century BC.

So far nothing indicates a fake. Three versions remain: the computer was invented by representatives of an unknown ancient civilization, lost by time travelers or... planted by people from other worlds.

3. Teleportation Victim

The mysterious story of Spaniard Lerin Garcia began on an ordinary July morning when she woke up in an alien reality. But I didn’t immediately understand what had happened. It was still 2008, Lerin was 41 years old, she was in the same city and house where she went to bed.

Only the pajamas and bedding changed color overnight, and the closet ran into another room. The office where Lerin worked for 20 years was not there. Soon the ex-fiancé, who had been dismissed six months ago, materialized “at home.” Even a private detective could not figure out where the current friend of his heart had gone...

Alcohol and drug tests were negative. As well as consultation with a psychiatrist. The doctor attributed the incident to stress. The diagnosis did not satisfy Lerin and prompted her to search for information about parallel worlds. She was never able to return to her native dimension.

4. Deja vu in reverse

The essence of deja vu does not boil down to the vague feeling of “repetition” familiar to many and everyday foresight. This phenomenon has an antipode - jamevu. People who have experienced it suddenly stop recognizing familiar places, old friends and scenes from films they have watched. Regular jamevu indicates mental disorders. And isolated and rare memory failures also occur in healthy people.
A striking illustration is the experiment of English neuropsychologist Chris Moulin. 92 volunteers had to write the word “doors” 30 times in a minute. As a result, 68% of subjects seriously doubted the existence of the word. A glitch in thinking or instantaneous leaps from reality to reality?

5. The Roots of Dreams

Despite the abundance of research methods, the reason for the appearance of dreams still remains a mystery. According to the generally accepted view of sleep, the brain merely processes information accumulated in reality. And it translates it into pictures - the most convenient format for the sleeping mind. Solution number two - nervous system sends chaotic signals to the sleeping person. They are transformed into colorful visions.

According to Freud, in dreams we gain access to the subconscious. Freed from the censorship of consciousness, it hastens to tell us about repressed sexual desires. The fourth point of view was first expressed by Carl Jung. What you see in a dream is not a fantasy, but a specific continuation of a full life. Jung also saw a code in the dream images. But not from suppressed libido, but from the collective unconscious.
In the middle of the last century, psychologists started talking about the possibility of controlling sleep. Appropriate manuals have appeared. The most famous was the three-volume instruction manual by American psychophysiologist Stephen LaBerge.

6. Lost between two Europes

In 1952, a strange passenger appeared at Tokyo airport. Judging by the visas and customs stamps in his passport, he has flown to Japan many times over the past 5 years. But in the “Country” column there was a certain Taured. The owner of the document assured that his homeland was a European state with a thousand-year history. The “alien” presented a driver’s license and bank statements obtained in the same mysterious country.

Citizen Taured, no less surprised than the customs officers, was left overnight at a nearby hotel. The immigration officers who arrived the next morning did not find him. According to the receptionist, the guest did not even leave the room.

Tokyo police have found no trace of the missing Taured. Either he escaped through a window on the 15th floor, or he managed to transport himself back.

7. Paranormal activity

“Alive” furniture, noises of unknown origin, ghostly silhouettes hovering in the air in photographs... Meetings with the dead occur not only in the movies. For example, many mystical incidents in the London underground.

At Aldwych station, which closed in 1994, intrepid Brits hold parties, make films and periodically see people walking along the tracks. female figure. The subway section near the British Museum is occupied by the mummy of an ancient Egyptian princess. Since the 1950s, a dandy has been frequenting Covent Garden, dressed in the fashion of the late 19th century and literally melting before our eyes when anyone pays attention to him...

Materialists brush aside dubious facts, believing

contacts with spirits, hallucinations, mirages and outright lies of storytellers. Then why has humanity clung to ghost stories for centuries? Perhaps the mythical kingdom of the dead is one of the alternative realities?

8. Fourth and fifth dimensions

The length, height and width visible to the eye have already been studied lengthwise and crosswise. The same cannot be said about the other two dimensions, which are absent in Euclidean (traditional) geometry.

The scientific community has not yet delved into the intricacies of the space-time continuum discovered by Lobachevsky and Einstein. But there has already been talk about a higher – fifth – dimension, accessible only to those with psychic talents. It is also open to those who expand consciousness through spiritual practices.

If we put aside the guesswork of science fiction writers, almost nothing is known about the non-obvious coordinates of the Universe. Presumably, it is from there that supernatural beings come into our three-dimensional space.

9. Rethinking the double-slit experiment

Howard Weissman is convinced that the duality of the nature of light is the result of the contact of parallel worlds. The Australian researcher's hypothesis connects Everett's many-worlds interpretation with the experience of Thomas Young.

The father of the wave theory of light published a report on the famous double-slit experiment in 1803. Jung installed in the laboratory projection screen, and in front of it is a dense screen-screen with two parallel slits. Then light was directed onto the cracks made.

Some of the radiation behaved like electromagnetic wave– stripes of light were reflected on the rear screen, passing straight through the slits. Another half of the light flux appeared as a cluster elementary particles and scattered across the screen.
“Each of the worlds is limited by the laws of classical physics. This means that without their intersection, quantum phenomena would simply be impossible,” explains Weissman.

10. Large Hadron Collider

The multiverse is not just a theoretical model. French astrophysicist Aurélien Barrot came to this conclusion while observing the operation of the Large Hadron Collider. More precisely, the interaction of protons and ions placed in it. The collision of heavy particles produced results incompatible with conventional physics.

Barro, like Weissman, interpreted this contradiction as a consequence of the collision of parallel worlds.

Parallel worlds have long been of interest to scientists, and there are many different theories in the world that you can believe in or doubt.

People have been thinking about the possibility of the existence of parallel worlds for a long time. The Italian thinker Giordano Bruno, who spoke about other inhabited worlds, even fell victim to the Holy Inquisition - his ideas were so contrary to the then accepted picture of the world. Today is not the Middle Ages, and scientists are not being burned at the stake. But even now, arguments that our reality may not be the only one often cause, if not ridicule, then certainly mistrust. We emphasize that we are not talking about the existence of alien living matter, which many assume, but about the hypothetical presence of an alternative reality around us. If parallel worlds exist, what could they be like and what can humanity expect from them?

There is a point of view that the mystery of alternative existence is associated with a certain “fifth dimension”. Allegedly, in addition to three spatial dimensions and the “fourth dimension” - time, there is one more. By opening it, people will supposedly be able to travel between parallel worlds. However, the head of the sector of interdisciplinary problems of scientific and technological development of the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Philosophy Vladimir Arshinov, is confident that today we can talk about a much larger number of dimensions: “Models of our world are already approximately known, which contain 11, 26 and even 267 dimensions. They are not observable, but folded in a special way. Nevertheless, they are present around us."
In multidimensional space, according to the scientist, things are possible that seem incredible. Vladimir Arshinov believes that other worlds can be anything: “There are an infinite number of options. For example, one of them can be a looking glass, as in the fairy tale about Alice. That is, what is true in our world is a lie there. But this, perhaps the simplest option."

However, people are most interested in the question of whether it is possible to “touch” and see these parallel worlds. “If we take on faith the existence of a certain reality with mirror dimensions to us,” argues Vladimir Arshinov, “then it turns out that, once there, you can, without applying special effort, move in space and time. It is worth returning back to our world, and we will be dealing with the effect of a real time machine." To better understand this, we can take the launch of ballistic missiles as an analogy. They cannot overcome huge distances in the atmosphere - there is not enough fuel. Therefore, the rocket put into orbit, where it flies almost by inertia to a certain point, and then “falls" at the other end of the earth. “The same can be done with any object, you just have to move it to the supposed parallel world,” says Arshinov. Question only how to make such a transition.It is this question that excites today those who are looking for an alternative reality.

How to get there?
The existing laws of physics do not deny the bold assumption that parallel worlds can be connected by quantum tunnel transitions. This means that theoretically it is possible to move from one world to another without violating the law of conservation of energy. However, such a transition will require a colossal amount of energy, which cannot be accumulated in our entire Galaxy.

But there is another option. “There is a version that passages to parallel worlds are hidden in so-called black holes,” says Vladimir Arshinov, “they can be a kind of funnels that suck in matter.” But black holes, according to cosmologists, may actually turn out to be some kind of “wormholes” - paths from one world to another and back. “In nature, there could be spatio-temporal structures like wormholes that connect one world to another,” believes Vladimir Surdin, a senior researcher at the P. Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences. “In principle, mathematics allows their existence.” The possibility of the existence of “wormholes” is not denied by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Theoretical Physics Faculty of Physics Moscow State University Dmitry Galtsov. He confirmed to Itogi that this is one of the options for moving from one point to another at infinite speed. “True,” the physicist noted, “there is one point: no one has seen “wormholes” yet; they have yet to be found.”

This hypothesis could be confirmed by revealing the secret of the formation of new stars. Astronomers have long puzzled over the nature of the origin of some celestial bodies. From the outside it looks like matter emerging from nothing. “Such phenomena may be a consequence of matter spilling out into the Universe from parallel worlds,” Vladimir Arshinov boldly suggests. Then we can assume that any body is capable of moving to a parallel world.

Recently, the British medium Dame Forsyth made a statement that shocked the English public. She reported that she had found a passage to a parallel world. The reality she discovered turned out to be a copy of our world, only without problems, diseases and any hint of aggression. The Forsyth Discoveries were preceded by a series of mysterious disappearances of teenagers at a funhouse in Kent. In 1998, four young visitors did not leave there at once. Three years later, two more disappeared. Then again. The police were knocked down, but found no evidence of the abduction of children.

There is a lot of mystery in this story. Kent detective Sean Murphy says the missing people all knew each other and the disappearances happened on the last Thursdays of the month. Most likely, a serial maniac is “hunting” there. According to Murphy, the criminal entered the funhouse through a secret passage, which, however, was not discovered by operatives. As well as other traces of the killer’s activities. After their searches, the booth had to be closed. Whatever one may say, it turned out that the wanted teenagers almost disappeared into thin air. After the mysterious premises were closed, the disappearances stopped. “The exit to that world was in one of the distorting mirrors,” says Forsythe. - It was possible to use it, apparently, only from that side. Probably someone accidentally opened it when the first missing people were nearby. And then the teenagers who fell into this trap began to take their friends there.

Crooked mirrors were also observed by Professor Ernst Muldashev during his study of the Tibetan pyramids. According to him, many of these giant structures are associated with variously sized concave, semicircular and flat stone structures, which scientists called "mirrors" - because of their smooth surface. In the zone of their intended action, the members of Muldashev's expedition did not feel very well. Some saw themselves in childhood, some seemed transported to unfamiliar places. According to the scientist, through such “mirrors” standing near the pyramids, it is possible to change the flow of time and control space. Ancient legends say that such complexes were used to transition to parallel worlds, and, according to Muldashev, this cannot be considered a complete fantasy.

Hell's tunnels.
Australian parapsychologist Jean Grimbriar came to the conclusion that among the numerous anomalous zones in the world, there are about 40 tunnels leading to other worlds, of which four are located in Australia and seven in America. What these “hellish tunnels” have in common is that chilling screams and moans are heard from the depths, and every year more than a hundred people disappear in them without a trace. One of the most famous places is a limestone cave in a Californian national park, which you can enter but cannot exit. There aren't even any traces of the missing.

There are “hell places” in Russia too. For example, near Gelendzhik there is a mysterious mine that, according to local historians, has existed since the 18th century. It is a straight well with a diameter of about one and a half meters with seemingly polished walls. When a man ventured down into the mine a couple of years ago, at a depth of 40 meters, the Geiger counter showed a sharp increase in background radiation. And since several volunteers who were trying to examine the well had already died from a strange disease, the descent was immediately stopped. There are rumors that the mine has no bottom, some kind of incomprehensible life flows there, in the depths, and time in the depths of the mysterious formation violates all laws, accelerating its course. According to rumors, one guy went down into the mine, and got stuck there for a week, and he came up, already gray-haired and old.

Ioannos Kolofidis. This well has long been considered bottomless. The water in it was icy even in the heat. And then one day it was time to clean it. Kolofidis volunteered to do this work. The man put on a wetsuit and was lowered into the shaft. The work took about an hour and a half. Three people from time to time pulled up a bucket of silt. Suddenly, frequent impacts on metal were heard on the surface. It seemed that Kolofidis was begging to be picked up as soon as possible. When the poor fellow was pulled out, his comrades were almost speechless: in front of them on the ground lay a decrepit old man with absolutely white hair on his head, a long beard and in shabby, worn-out clothes. But what happened in the well remained a mystery, since Kolofidis died a few hours later. An autopsy showed that he died of old age!

Another creepy well is located in the Kaliningrad region. In 2004, two shabashniks, Nikolai and Mikhail, contracted to dig a well in one of the villages. At a depth of about ten meters, the diggers heard polyphonic human groans from the ground under their feet. In incredible horror, the diggers got out. Local residents avoid this “cursed place”, believing that it was there that the Nazis carried out mass executions during the war.

Disappearance in the castle.
An ancient castle, located near the town of Comcrieff (Scotland), recently became a place of disappearance for adventure lovers.

The current owner of the castle, Robert McDogli, purchased this building, not suitable for habitation, for next to nothing, simply out of love for the exotic.

“One day I stayed in the basement, where I discovered ancient books on black magic, until midnight,” says 54-year-old Robert. - Dusk fell quickly, and the blue glow emanating from the large central hall seemed strange to me. When I entered there, a bright bluish-gray sheaf of light emanating from a three-meter portrait, the colors of which during the day seemed so worn out, hit me in the face that it was impossible to see the drawing. Now I clearly saw a full-length man depicted on it, whose clothes were made up of costume parts that clearly did not fit together. different eras- from the XV to the XX centuries. As I came closer to take a better look, the heavy portrait fell from the wall and fell on me.

It was a miracle that Sir Robert remained alive. But rumors about what had happened spread beyond the area, and tourists began to flock to the castle. One day, two exalted elderly ladies entered and climbed into the niche that opened behind the portrait after it fell. And immediately they... disappeared into thin air. Rescuers knocked on all the walls and went through all the rooms with special radars, but did not find anyone. Psychics brought in as experts claim that a door to parallel worlds, “sealed” for centuries, opened in the castle, where the tourists moved. However, neither psychics nor police decided to test this assumption and enter the niche.

Of course, this practically does not fit in with the Big Bang theory, which describes the emergence of our Universe. This hypothesis is generally accepted and will remain so until science proves something else. “The dimensions of the Universe then were equal to zero - it was compressed into a point,” says Vladimir Arshinov. “This state is called cosmological singularity. But why, for example, not now assume that there could be not one such point, but many, and different ones, including those still unknown to humanity? And then the beginning could have been made for other worlds."

The multiple worlds theory is still just a model. Not more than beautiful way explain many mysterious things. Science is not yet able to test it in practice. But if we assume that parallel worlds exist and are inhabited in the same way as our real world, then things that were hitherto inexplicable, such as various paranormal phenomena, may become clearer. True, for this it is necessary to at least wait for the appearance of the new Giordano Bruno.

Confirmations from scientists.
Albert Einstein throughout his life tried to create a “theory of everything” that would describe all the laws of the universe. Did not have time.

Today, astrophysicists suggest that the best candidate for this theory is superstring theory. It not only explains the processes of expansion of our Universe, but also confirms the existence of other universes located next to us. "Cosmic strings" represent distortions of space and time. They may be larger than the Universe itself, although their thickness does not exceed the size of an atomic nucleus.

However, despite its amazing mathematical beauty and integrity, string theory has not yet found experimental confirmation. All hope lies in the Large Hadron Collider. Scientists are waiting for him not only to discover the Higgs particle, but also some supersymmetric particles. This will be a serious support for string theory, and therefore for other worlds. In the meantime, physicists are building theoretical models of other worlds.

1950s. Everett's worlds.
Science fiction writer Herbert Wells was the first to tell earthlings about parallel worlds in 1895 in his story “The Door in the Wall.” 62 years later, Princeton University graduate Hugh Everett amazed his colleagues with the topic of his doctoral dissertation on the splitting of worlds.

Here is its essence: every moment each universe is split into an unimaginable number of its own kind, and the very next moment each of these newborns is split in exactly the same way. And in this huge multitude there are many worlds in which you exist. In one world, while reading this article, you are traveling on the subway, in another, you are flying on an airplane. In one you are a king, in another you are a slave.

The impetus for the proliferation of worlds is our actions, Everett explained. As soon as we make any choice - “to be or not to be,” for example, - in the blink of an eye, two universes turned out from one. We live in one, and the second is on its own, although we are present there too.

Interesting, but... Even the father of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr, remained indifferent to this crazy idea.

1980s. Linde's worlds.
The theory of many worlds could have been forgotten. But again a science fiction writer came to the aid of scientists. Michael Moorcock, on some whim, settled all the inhabitants of his fairy-tale city of Tanelorn in the Multiverse. The term Multiverse immediately appeared in the works of serious scientists.

The fact is that in the 1980s, many physicists had already become convinced that the idea of parallel universes could become one of the cornerstones of a new paradigm in the science of the structure of the universe. The main proponent of this beautiful idea became Andrey Linde. Our former compatriot, employee of the Physics Institute. Lebedev Academy of Sciences, and now a professor of physics at Stanford University.

Linde bases his reasoning on the basis of the Big Bang model, as a result of which a lightning-fast expanding bubble appeared - the embryo of our Universe. But if some cosmic egg turned out to be capable of giving birth to the Universe, then why cannot we assume the possibility of the existence of other similar eggs? Asking this question, Linde built a model in which inflationary universes arise continuously, budding off from their parents.

To illustrate, you can imagine a certain tank filled with water in all possible states of aggregation. There will be liquid zones, blocks of ice and bubbles of steam - they can be considered analogues of parallel universes of the inflationary model. It represents the world as a huge fractal, consisting of homogeneous pieces with different properties. Moving around this world, you will be able to smoothly move from one universe to another. True, your journey will last a long time - tens of millions of years.

1990s. Worlds of Rhys.
The logic of the reasoning of Martin Rees, professor of cosmology and astrophysics at the University of Cambridge, is approximately as follows.

The probability of the origin of life in the Universe is a priori so small that it looks like a miracle, argued Professor Rees. And if we do not proceed from the Creator hypothesis, then why not assume that Nature randomly gives birth to many parallel worlds, which serve as a field for experiments in creating life.

According to the scientist, life arose on a small planet orbiting an ordinary star in one of the ordinary galaxies of our world for the simple reason that its physical structure was favorable for this. Other worlds in the Multiverse are most likely empty.

2000s. Worlds of Tegmark.

Professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania Max Tegmark is convinced that universes can differ not only in location, cosmological properties, but also in the laws of physics. They exist outside of time and space and are almost impossible to depict.

Consider a simple universe consisting of the Sun, Earth and Moon, the physicist suggests. For an objective observer, such a universe appears to be a ring: the Earth’s orbit, “smeared” in time, seems to be wrapped in a braid - it is created by the trajectory of the Moon around the Earth. And other forms personify other physical laws.

The scientist likes to illustrate his theory using the example of playing Russian roulette. In his opinion, every time a person pulls the trigger, his universe splits into two: where the shot occurred, and where it did not. But Tegmark himself does not risk conducting such an experiment in reality - at least in our Universe.
