Parallel Universe Test

Parallel Universe Test

There is an article up that claims to provide possible "evidence" of parallel universes. The interesting thing is that if you follow the instructions in the article, you are supposed to be able to replicate the test at home. Anyone have a laser pointer?

Hmm, it seems bloody tenuous to me, but I'll let you be the judge.

So basically, a parallel universe wouldn't be where I'm the all-knowing computer wiz and Eskie is the 13 year old rampant spammer?

Well, in one reality perhaps, but only if I had been born ten years later in it .

i have a laser pen, shame it has no batteries and i dunno wtf it has gone

oh codswallop, i know there are other universes out there, heck, my own empire relies opn the fact that we discovered a race of 7-legged bugs in another universe, this scientis is just suffering from Quantum Thoery.
Photons interfere, i cant really explain it, but the fact that a 14-year old Adolecent understands why there are shadows and a grown Adult with a PhD dosent suggests something about the world.
I found it all out on a movine in Encarta '96 a few years ago, ill post it up as soon as i can extraxt the file.

That was possibly one of the most confusing articles I've ever read. It lost me a few times. I was under the impression that a parallel universe is simply another name for a future that exists in theory/possibility. i.e I have the choice between buying a beef pie or a chicken pie, now there are two parallel universes, in one I buy the beef pie and go on my merry way and in the other I buy the chicken buy and drop it while crossing the road and get hit by a passing truck. Yes? No? I'm insane?

ive thought that my self fisch many a time.

Post Mon May 17, 2004 1:09 am

heard it all before, its all probability, in one world, i will post this with perfect accuracy first time round, in this one, i make a few mistakes but correct them before my post, in another, i post without checking but edit the mistakes out, in another, i dont edit the mistakes out, in yet another, ive been banned from TLR, in yet another im a Mod, in another im already dead, in another im on the run after killing a whole bunch of people, and so on and so forth...
considering i came up with about 16 universes for very-short-term probability systems and im 14, imagine how may ACUTALLY EXIST!

Exactly, so what're they talking about? Some sort of "other dimension" where I am an evil tyrant and religion is simply a fancy word for cheese crumpits?

it's about as much evidence of parallel universes as my sock drawer. I've seen this "experiment" years ago, it's particle interference at the quantum level (for light doesn't just travel in waves or single photons, but in "packets" called quanta) in fact we did it in A-level physics at school - 25 years ago

rather more interesting is that if you shoot a single photon through a double slit in said piece of paper, you get 2 photons on the other side - wtf is that all about?

Taw, its because the photon thinks its so cool, it does a high five as its going through

I was interested in this article, until I fell asleep half way through reading it. Can't see how it possibly can prove parallel universes exist though.

yeah so one day i'm jogging and i run into my counterpart in the parallel universe.. then we cancel each out.. what a way to die.
