may also cover time. Time and the speed of light slow down in one world and speed up in another. Or, for example, in other worlds time runs backwards. And all the endless futures are already taken. One reality is “you” in the future. And the other “you” is in minutes, or days, weeks, months, years in the future, living your life, which is still ahead for you.

Scientists who study such things theorize that a copy of you may live the same life as you. Or completely different. Anyone reading this article may be a nuclear physicist. But in another reality he could become a pianist. What factor or factors are responsible for such changes or, conversely, similarities? If the other you has all the same perceptions, experiences and skills as the real you, then it seems logical that the other you would do the same. Any divergence will rely on small changes in the physical body, perception or experience of that twin.

The possibilities here are endless. One Universe may be the size of an atom, another may be in orbit around an atom or molecule. It can accommodate hundreds, thousands, millions, billions of subatomic galaxies with the same properties. Moreover, our own Universe is relatively atomic design an infinitely large superstructure.

Bubble universes and quantum foam

Quantum theory predicts that, at the subatomic level, the cosmos is a frenzy of subatomic activity involving particles and waves. And what we recognize as reality are just blemishes on the face of this quantum continuum.

Quantum mechanics suggests that in the world of subatomic particles, all probabilities occur in different places at the same time. Want to be in two places at once? Quantum mechanics says it's possible.

Start existence can be imagined as the seething boiling of a potential universal bubble that appears in the quantum foam of the continuum. When Quantum Appears bubble, it can grow and expand, becoming an expanding stellar universe. Perhaps an infinite number of expanding bubble universes could emerge from the sea of ​​quantum foam.

The Universal Bubble Theory is based on the concept cosmic inflation, proposed by Alan Guth, Alexander Vilenkin and others. The universe we live in is just one bubble among countless bubbles rising from the quantum foam that is the basis for everything that exists.

In the vast sea of ​​quantum space, there may be countless bubbles. But not all of them will exist according to the same rules and under the same physics that governs our world.

11 dimensions

Some of these worlds may be four-dimensional, like ours. While others can fold into seven, eleven or more dimensions. In one bubble universe, you can fly in all directions without restrictions. Whereas in our physics the laws of Newton and Einstein describe such restrictions.

Bubble universes that are close to each other can even stick together. At least temporarily, creating holes and cracks in the outer membrane. If they come together, then perhaps some of the physical materials from one bubble can be transferred to the other. Now you know where the strange material growing inside the refrigerator came from. He's from another dimension.

Scientists Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok suggest that there was no Big Bang. Rather, we arose in an endless cycle of cosmic collisions. Possibly associated with alternating bubble Universes. This explains the discovery of researcher Ranga-Rama Chari in 2015 - our Universe could collide with another Universe. Whether this collision was mild is unknown. But based on an analysis of the cosmic background, he discovered mysterious luminous spots. They may be a “bruise” resulting from a collision with a parallel Universe.

Everett's Many Worlds

As theoretical physicist Hugh Everett argued, the universal wave function is “a fundamental entity governed at all times by a deterministic wave equation” (Everett, 1956). Thus the wave function is real and independent of the observer or other mental postulates (Everett 1957), although it is still subject to quantum entanglement.

In Everett's formulation, the measuring device (MA) and the object systems (OS) form a composite system. Until the moment of measurement, it exists in well-defined (but time-dependent) states. The measurement is considered to be the cause of the interaction between MA and OS. Once the OS interacts with the MA, it is no longer possible to describe any system as an independent state. According to Everett (1956, 1957), the only meaningful descriptions of any system are relative states. For example, the relative state of OS given the state of MA or the relative state of MA given the state of OS. As Hugh Everett argued, what the observer sees and the current state of the object are connected by the very act of measurement or observation; they are confused.

However, Everett reasoned that since the wave function appeared to have changed at the time it was observed, then there was no need to actually assume that it had changed. According to Everett, the collapse of the wave function is redundant. Thus, there is no need to include wavefunction collapse in quantum mechanics. And he removed it from his theory, keeping the wave function, which includes the probability wave.

According to Everett (1956), the collapsed state of an object and its associated observer who observed the same outcome were correlated by the act of measurement or observation. That is, what the observer perceives and the state of the object becomes entangled.

However, instead of the collapse of the wave function, the choice is made from a set possible options. So among all the possible probable outcomes, the outcome becomes a reality.

There is a world for everyone

Everett argued that the experimental apparatus should be viewed quantum mechanically. Combined with the wave function and the probable nature of reality, this led to the “many worlds” interpretation (Dewitt, 1971). The object of measurement and the measuring apparatus/observer are in two different states, that is, in different “worlds”.

When a measurement (observation) is made, the world unfolds in separate world for each possible outcome depending on their probability. All probable outcomes exist regardless of how likely or unlikely it is. And each result represents a separate “world”. In each world, the measuring apparatus indicates which outcome is obtained and which probable world becomes reality for that observer (Dewitt, 1971; Everett, 1956, 1957).

Therefore, predictions are based on calculations of the probability that an observer will find himself in a particular world. Once an observer enters another world, he is unaware of other worlds that exist in parallel. Moreover, if he changes worlds, he will no longer know that another world exists (Everett, 1956, 1957): all observations become consistent and even include the memory of a past existence in another world.

Interpretation of "many worlds"

(formulated by Bryce Devitt and Hugh Everett), rejects wave function collapse. Instead, it embraces the universal wave function. It represents a common objective reality consisting of all possible futures. All of them are real, and exist as alternate realities in several Universes. What separates these multiple worlds is quantum decoherence.

The present, future and past are seen as having several branches. Like an infinite number of roads leading to endless outcomes. Thus, the world is both deterministic and indeterministic (this is represented by chaos or random radioactive decay). And there are countless possibilities for the future and the past.

As described by Brice Dewitt (1973; Dewitt, 1971): “This reality, jointly described by the dynamic variables and the state vector, is not the reality we usually think of. It is a reality consisting of many worlds. Due to the temporal development of dynamic variables, the state vector naturally breaks up into orthogonal vectors, reflecting the continuous splitting of the Universe into many mutually unobservable, but equally real worlds, in each of which each measurement gave a certain result, and in most of them the known statistical quantum laws are observed." .

Devitt talks about a many-worlds interpretation of Everett's work. He argues that there can be a split in the unified observer-object system. This is a divisive observation. And each split corresponds to different or multiple possible observational outcomes. Each split is a separate branch or path. "World" refers to one branch and includes the complete history of the observer's measurements relative to that single branch which is the world unto itself. However, each observation and interaction can cause a split or branch in such a way that the combined observer-object wave function changes into two or more non-interacting branches, which can split into many "worlds", depending on which ones are more likely. The splitting of worlds can continue indefinitely.

Since there are countless observable events,

constantly occurring, there are a huge number of simultaneously existing states or worlds. All of them exist in parallel, but which can get confused. And this means that they cannot be independent of each other and relate to each other. This concept is fundamental to the concept of quantum computing.

Likewise, in Everett's formulation these branches are not completely separate. They are subject to quantum interference and entanglement. So they can merge rather than separate from each other, thereby creating one reality. But if they split, multiple worlds are created. This leads to the question: what if there is something that separates Are these universes apart? Could it be dark matter?

Multiplayer mathematics

“Mathematics is a tool with which you can describe any event in a way that is completely independent of human perception. I truly believe that there is a universe that can exist independently of me. And it will continue to exist even if there were no people at all,” says Max Tegmark, a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

It is argued that the theory of mathematical multiverse is the most objective perspective on multiple universes. Proponents of mathematical universes argue that mathematics is not a symbol of physical reality. It only summarizes the existing reality. Numbers are not a separate language that describes real physical things. Numbers are the thing.

The mathematical universe is based on two factors. First, the physical world is a mathematical structure. Second, all mathematical structures exist somewhere else. You and I and the cat are symbols of a mathematical structure. Mathematical multiversion requires us to abandon the idea of ​​subjective reality. Reality is not based on our perception of it, and we do not “create our own reality”—at least according to this view. There is a reality independent of our perception. And the way we perceive and communicate this reality is just a shallow human approximation of the ultimate mathematical truth.

From this theory we get the conclusion that our Universe is simply a computer simulator.

Could parallel worlds be responsible for the “lost” mass of our Universe?

Much of the matter in our universe appears to have gone missing. Cosmologists and astrophysicists cannot find it. For example, based on data collected by the European Space Agency's Planck spacecraft, it was stated that we only see 4.9% of the Universe. Another 68.3% is made up of dark forces and pure energy, and the remaining 26.8% is reserved for dark matter. Even an ultra-precise 15-month survey of space by the European Space Agency's Planck spacecraft could only detect less than 5% of the total. So where is all this mass?

Perhaps the missing substance is safely stored in a parallel Universe...

Parallel worlds have attracted thousands of researchers; it has already been proven that this is a reality that exists in parallel. The physics of space can be both similar and different, there is witchcraft and magic, time flows differently. People who managed to accidentally find a portal to a parallel world were absent for a long time, and only hours passed in another reflection.

Parallel worlds - what is it?

The idea that there are many worlds was put forward by the ancient philosophers Democritus, Metrodorus of Chios and Epicurus. Later, scientists developed the same theory, based on the principle of isonomy - equal being. The laws of physics argue that all dimensions are connected by photon tunnels, this allows you to move through them without distorting the law of energy conservation. There are versions about such portals:

1. The door to another world opens in “black holes,” since these are funnels that suck in matter.
2. It is possible to open a portal to a parallel world with correctly designed models of different mirrors. Such stone surfaces were found near the Tibetan pyramids, when expedition members began to see themselves in a different reality.

Parallel worlds - evidence of existence

For many years now, scientists have been debating: do parallel worlds exist? Serious studies of the problem were carried out in the middle of the last century, when scientist Hugh Everett published the materials of his scientific work, giving a formulation of photon mechanics through conditionality of states. The physicist was the first to notice the discrepancies between the wave and matrix formulas, which formed the basis of the theory of the Multiverse:

1. During the selection process, all its possibilities are realized.
2. Each choice is different from the others because it is implemented in a different reflection.
3. It does not matter who makes the choice: an electron or a person.

The theory developed by physicists about the existence of many worlds is called the superstring theory or the theory of the Multiverse. Parapsychologists, for their part, argue that there are supposedly more than 40 portals to other dimensions in the world, 4 of which are located in Australia, another 7 in the USA, and 1 in Russia, in the Gelendzhik region, in an old mine. There is evidence that the young guy who decided to go down there disappeared for a week, and came up already very old, and did not remember anything about what happened.

How many parallel worlds are there?

Physicists suggest that the existence parallel worlds confirmed by superstring theory. It testifies that all the elements of the world are made of oscillating threads and membranes of energy. According to this theory, there can be from 10 to the 100th power to 10 to the 500th power of other dimensions. Mathematicians present their proofs. If parallel lines can coexist in two-dimensional space, and parallel planes can coexist in three-dimensional space, then parallel three-dimensional spaces can also coexist in four-dimensional space.

What does a parallel world look like?

Scientists find it difficult to describe parallel worlds, because the parallels cannot intersect, and it is difficult to visit that reflection for the sake of experience. In this matter we can only rely on the words of eyewitnesses. In their vision, parallel worlds are:

• nature of amazing beauty, inhabited by elves, gnomes and dragons;
• an area similar to a volcanic crater, bathed in crimson light;
• rooms and streets reminiscent of childhood places, filled with light.

The only thing in which the descriptions are similar is in the strong stream of light that appears from the void. Scientists saw similar phenomena in the pyramids of the pharaohs; researchers came up with the version that the chambers were covered with unique alloys that glow in the dark. When trying to remove the chip sunlight, these alloys disintegrate, it is impossible to study them, so there is no exact data.

How to get to a parallel world?

Traveling to is one of the popular themes of science fiction writers and the dream of many inhabitants of the Earth. According to theorists, the simplest way is a dream, in which information is received and transmitted many times faster than in reality. If we talk about conscious movement, then the situation is somewhat different. According to esotericists, it is possible to get into another world, but it is very dangerous, since the different nature of the emitted waves can negatively affect the structure of the human brain. But through trial and error, several ways have been developed to help make such a journey:

1. Lucid dream, which involves turning off consciousness and immersing yourself in another reality.
2. Meditation. The techniques are similar.
3. Using a mirror. Since ancient times, magicians have created special rituals for this.
4. Via elevator. The transition is best done at night, alone, pressing the floor numbers in a certain sequence.

Creatures from parallel worlds

It’s difficult to say what parallel worlds are and what lives there. But a great many people have observed creatures from another reflection of reality at all times. It's not just about humanoids. The most famous cases of such meetings:

1. '93 In Rome, people saw a glowing, golden ball that floated across the sky.
2. 235 year. In China, the warring parties saw a large scarlet ball, which threw out rays in the form of daggers, moving from north to south.
3. 848 The French noticed objects in the sky that were shaped like glowing cigars.

• fairies;
• poltergeists;
• Critters.

Movies about parallel worlds

There are many films about parallel worlds; directors and writers call this genre fantasy. There our world is depicted as part of the multiverse. All categories of viewers love to watch about parallel worlds. Most popular films:

1. “Parallel Worlds” (2011, Canada)- adventure, fantasy.
2. "The Chronicles of Narnia" (2005, USA)- pure fantasy.
3. “Sliding” (1995 - 2000, USA)- a series closer to science fiction.
4. “Fierce Planet” (2011, USA)- adventure, fantasy, thriller.
5. "Verbo" (2011, Spain)- fantastic.

Books about parallel worlds

Are there parallel worlds on earth? – writers have been looking for an answer to this question for a long time. The very first tales about the Gardens of Eden, Inferno, Olympus and Valhalla completely fall under the category of stories about parallel worlds. The specific concept of the existence of other dimensions appeared already in the 19th century, with light hand H.G. Wells. There are hundreds of novels about time travel in modern literature, but the following classics are called the pioneers:

1. H.G. Wells, "The Door in the Wall."
2. Herbert Dent, "Emperor of the If Country."
3. Veniamin Girshgorn, "Unceremonious Romance".
4. Jorge Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths.
5. “Multi-tiered world” is a cycle of fantasy stories.
6. “The Chronicles of Amber” is the most striking reflection of other dimensions in literature.

The idea of ​​the existence of parallel worlds became especially popular after astrophysicists proved that our Universe has a limited size - about 46 billion light years and a certain age - 13.8 billion years.

Several questions arise at once. What lies beyond the boundaries of the Universe? What was there before its emergence from the cosmological singularity? How did the cosmological singularity arise? What does the future hold for the Universe?

The hypothesis of parallel worlds gives a rational answer: in fact, there are many universes, they exist next to ours, they are born and die, but we do not observe them, because we are not able to go beyond the limits of our three-dimensional space, just as a beetle crawling along one side of a paper is not able to leaf, see a beetle located next to it, but on the other side of the leaf.

However, it is not enough for scientists to accept a beautiful hypothesis that will streamline our understanding of the world, reducing it to everyday ideas - the presence of parallel worlds should manifest itself in various physical effects. And this is where the rub arose.

When the fact of the expansion of the Universe was comprehensively proven, and cosmologists began to build a model of its evolution from the moment of the Big Bang to the present, they were faced with a number of problems.

The first problem is related to the average density of matter, which determines the curvature of space and, in fact, the future of the world we know. If the density of matter is below critical, then its gravitational influence will be insufficient to reverse the initial expansion caused by the Big Bang, so the Universe will expand forever, gradually cooling to absolute zero.

If the density is higher than the critical one, then, on the contrary, over time the expansion will turn into compression, the temperature will begin to rise until a fiery superdense object is formed. If the density is equal to critical, then the Universe will balance between the two named extreme states. Physicists have calculated the critical density value - five hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. This is close to critical, although according to theory it should be much less.

The second problem is the observed homogeneity of the Universe. Microwave cosmic microwave background radiation in zones of space separated by tens of billions of light years looks the same. If space were expanding from some super-hot singularity point, as the Big Bang theory states, then it would be “lumpy”, that is, in different zones different intensities of microwave radiation would be observed.

The third problem is the absence of monopoles, that is, hypothetical elementary particles with a non-zero magnetic charge, the existence of which was predicted by theory.

Trying to explain the discrepancies between the Big Bang theory and real observations, the young American physicist Alan Guth proposed in 1980 an inflationary model of the Universe (from inflatio - “bloating”), according to which at the initial moment of its birth, in the period from 10^-42 seconds to 10^ -36 seconds The Universe expanded 10^50 times.

Since the model of instantaneous “bloating” removed the problems of the theory, it was enthusiastically accepted by the majority of cosmologists. Among them was the Soviet scientist Andrei Dmitrievich Linde, who undertook to explain how such a fantastic “bloating” occurred.

In 1983, he proposed his own version of the model, called the “chaotic” theory of inflation. Linde described a certain infinite proto-universe, the physical conditions of which, unfortunately, are unknown to us. However, it is filled with a “scalar field”, in which “discharges” occur from time to time, as a result of which “bubbles” of universes are formed.

The “bubbles” quickly inflate, which leads to a sudden increase in potential energy and the emergence of elementary particles, which then make up matter. Thus, inflation theory provides justification for the hypothesis of the existence of parallel worlds, like an infinite number of “bubbles” inflating in an infinite “scalar field”.

If we accept inflation theory as a description of the real world order, then new questions arise. Do the parallel worlds it describes differ from ours or are they identical in everything? Is it possible to get from one world to another? What is the evolution of these worlds?

Physicists say that there can be an incredible variety of options. If in any of the newborn universes the density of matter is too high, then it will collapse very quickly. If the density of the substance, on the contrary, is too low, then they will expand forever.

It is suggested that the notorious “scalar field” is also present inside our Universe in the form of so-called “dark energy”, which continues to push galaxies apart. Therefore, it is possible that a spontaneous “discharge” may occur in our country, after which the Universe will “bloom into a bud”, giving birth to new worlds.

Swedish cosmologist Max Tegmark even put forward a mathematical universe hypothesis (also known as the Finite Ensemble), which states that any mathematically consistent set of physical laws corresponds to its own independent, but very real universe.

If the physical laws in neighboring universes are different from ours, then the conditions for evolution in them may be very unusual. Let's say there are more stable particles, such as protons, in some universe. Then there must be more chemical elements, and life forms are much more complex than here, since compounds like DNA are created from more elements.

Is it possible to reach neighboring universes? Unfortunately no. To do this, as physicists say, you need to learn to fly faster than the speed of light, which looks problematic.

Although the Gutha-Linde inflationary theory is generally accepted today, some scientists continue to criticize it, proposing their own models of the Big Bang. In addition, it has not yet been possible to detect the effects predicted by the theory.

At the same time, the very concept of the existence of parallel worlds, on the contrary, is finding more and more supporters. A careful study of the microwave radiation map revealed an anomaly - a “relict cold spot” in the constellation Eridanus with an unusually low level of radiation.

Professor Laura Mersini-Houghton from the University of North Carolina believes that this is an "imprint" of a neighboring universe from which ours may have been "inflated" - a kind of cosmological "belly button".

Another anomaly, called the "dark stream", is associated with the movement of galaxies: in 2008, a team of astrophysicists discovered that at least 1,400 clusters of galaxies are hurtling through space in a specific direction, driven by mass beyond the visible Universe.

One of the explanations, proposed by the same Laura Mersini-Houghton, is that they are attracted by the neighboring “mother” universe. For now, such assumptions are considered speculation. But, I think, the day is not far when physicists will dot all the i's. Or they will offer a new beautiful hypothesis.

Scientists have announced evidence of the existence parallel universes

The universe was born in infinity. Despite the fact that in our universe there is a huge amount of matter and variants of its interaction, the number of its constituent particles is finite. And yet scientists believe that there may be other particles from other universes that are simply invisible to limited speed light of the universe.

Our finite Universe has a number of infinite worlds. This conclusion comes from the fact that the Big Bang was not the beginning of existence, but only a process of transformation due to the accumulation of the space-time relationship. This means that an infinite number of finite universes were formed.

Around known to man There are other finite worlds in the universe. If at first everything was absolutely the same in all the formed worlds, then quantum uncertainty and an endless number of options for change and development appeared.

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 credit card security chip, for example, there is a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which is 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.

If we are alone in the Universe, then perhaps our brothers in mind “live” in others - parallel worlds? Why not admit that our world has its own “double”? It may contain habitable planets, and their inhabitants may well be similar to us. You ask: where is the scientific evidence? Although indirect, there is evidence. (website)

Parallel worlds exist!

Everyone probably knows the hypothesis about the existence of parallel worlds. The version that as a result of random quantum processes the Universe “multiplies” and forms big number her copies, is very attractive.

You can also cross out the laws of physics and consider them a pure abstraction. More recently, researchers from the European Space Agency made a truly sensational discovery. Using super-powerful telescopes, scientists have discovered anomalous areas in the Universe that glow so brightly that this phenomenon simply does not correspond to physical laws. This fact confirms the theory of parallel worlds capable of penetrating each other, as if seeping through. And the “luminous spots” represent a trace of long-standing contact with another space. Different measurements may have different physical constants.

Ranga-Ram Chari, a Californian astrophysicist of Egyptian origin, analyzed a series of data and discovered “noise” that could only be caused by the contact of two spheres. It is in these spheres, or bubbles, that the birth of universes occurs.

Mythology and modern physics about parallel worlds

At the Max Planck Ranga-Ram Chari Observatory, it was possible to obtain photographs from space depicting flashes, which, apparently, are the places of contact of the two universes.

In this regard, we recall the ancient Indian myth about the god Vishnu, who supports the entire universe and gives creation impetus. Every second, the pores of his body give birth to spherical “bubbles”, that is, universes. As we see, the discoveries of modern scientists confirm ancient myths.

According to the multiverse hypothesis that is popular today, the birth of universes occurs at a short distance from one to another. At the place of their contact, bright rings appear - exactly the same as those found in the photographs by Chari.

We are simply not allowed into parallel worlds

Ancient sources speak repeatedly about the existence of another Universe. It is noteworthy that Tsiolkovsky, the father of cosmonautics, believed in its existence, but at the same time said that we would never be allowed there. What did the brilliant scientist mean? If we assume that in a world parallel to ours, the physical laws known to us do not work, then how will we get there? After all, all the technologies that a person can create will be built in accordance with the standards of this, but not the neighboring world. We know nothing at all about him...

It turns out that the latest discovery by scientists has no practical benefit for humanity? Not certainly in that way. It will at least once again make us think: how does the universe really work? And what place does man and his still imperfect consciousness occupy in it?.. In the end, this explains such a phenomenon as anomalous zones, which may well be gates to parallel worlds.
