A common feature of all four multiverse levels is that the simplest and arguably most elegant theory involves parallel universes by default. To deny the existence of those universes, one needs to complicate the theory by adding experimentally unsupported processes and ad hoc postulates: finite space, wave function collapse and ontological ...
A study of the painful three-way relationship between Hugh Everett, John A Wheeler and Niels Bohr and how this affected the early development of the many-worlds theory. David Wallace, Worlds in the Everett Interpretation, Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, 33, (2002), pp. 637–661, arXiv:quant-ph/0103092; John A. Wheeler and ...
A parallel universe, also known as an alternate universe, parallel world, parallel dimension, alternate reality, or alternative dimension, is a hypothetical universe co-existing with one's own, typically distinct in some way. [1] The sum of all potential parallel universes that constitute reality is often called the "multiverse".
Parallel universes in fiction, a hypothetical self-contained plane of existence, co-existing with one's own Alternate history , a genre of fiction in which historical events differ from reality Alternative universe (fan fiction) , fiction by fan authors that departs from the fictional universe of the source work
In Parallel Worlds, Kaku presents many of the leading theories in physics; from Newtonian physics to Relativity to Quantum Physics to String theory and even into the newest version of string theory, called M-theory.
The landscape multiverse states that by combining inflationary cosmology and string theory, the many different shapes for string theory's extra dimensions give rise to many different bubble universes. The quantum multiverse creates a new universe when a diversion in events occurs, as in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Alternate reality (or Alternative reality, UK English) often refers to parallel universes in fiction, a self-contained separate world, universe or reality coexisting with the real world, which is used as a recurring plot point or setting used in fantasy and science fiction. Alternate reality may also refer to:
Hugh Everett III (/ ˈ ɛ v ər ɪ t /; November 11, 1930 – July 19, 1982) was an American physicist who, in his 1957 PhD thesis, proposed what is now known as the many-worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics.
