Nine of the Wierdest Implications of Quantum Mechanics Many Worlds Interpretation

Parallel Universes do exsist says new research

Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as "one of the most important developments in the history of science".
The parallel universe theory, first proposed in 1950 by the US physicist Hugh Everett, helps explain mysteries of quantum mechanics that have baffled scientists for decades, it is claimed. In Everett's "many worlds" universe, every time a new physical possibility is explored, the universe splits. Given a number of possible alternative outcomes, each one is played out - in its own universe. The number of alternative scenarios is endless. It is a bizarre idea which has been dismissed as fanciful by many experts. But the new research from Oxford shows that it offers a mathematical answer to quantum conundrums that cannot be dismissed lightly. According to quantum mechanics, nothing at the subatomic scale can really be said to exist until it is observed. Until then the object can have several different states or appear to be in different places at the same time. Unobserved particles then are then described as having the aspect of a wave or multiple "probable" states. The Oxford team showed mathematically that the branching structure created by the universe splitting into parallel versions of itself can explain the probabilistic nature of quantum outcomes.

Many Worlds, Many Treats

Cory Doctorow's Boing Boing blog started me off on this tangent today. So thank you Cory!

What this little gem is: Chad Orzel in his blog Uncertain Principles discusses Quantum Mechanics to his dog. Here is a excerpt, please click on the article title for the complete story at Uncertain Principles. It's worth it.

I'm sitting at the computer typing, when the dog bumps up against my legs. I look down, and she's sniffing the floor around my feet intently.

"What are you doing down there?"

"I'm looking for steak!" she says, wagging her tail hopefully.

"I'm pretty certain that there's no steak down there," I say. "I've never eaten steak at the computer, and I've certainly never dropped any on the floor."

"You did in some universe," she says, still sniffing.
