This scientist believes that people are living in multiple universes

Theoretical physicist Sean Carroll of the California Institute of Technology believes that every major event has many possible outcomes, separating the world into different realities.

Have you ever woken up suddenly in the middle of the night, wondering what your life would be like doing a different job, living in another country, or living with someone else?

According to The Next Web, theoretical physicist Sean Carroll of the California Institute of Technology says that the " Branched World" states that every fundamental event has many possible outcomes, separating the real world. into other realities, much like what happens in Marvel's Avengers: Endgame.

Sean Carroll is not a "mad scientist" . He is a famous physics expert, author of the book Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime (Deep in the quantum world and the appearance of spacetime).

The birth of multiverse

The idea of multiverse was originally written by physicist Hugh Everett in a newspaper in 1957. Mr. Everett describes the universe as "a set of variable numbers, also called wave functions, that develop according to a single equation." . Multiverse theory also holds that the universe continually splits into new branches, giving birth to many versions of ourselves.

Carroll says that this is by far the simplest explanation of quantum mechanics.

Quantum mechanics is a pillar that supports the laws of science that describe the unusual behavior of photons, electrons, or any other particles that make up the universe. On the scale of atoms and electrons, the equations of classical mechanics that describe the way in which travel does not work.

According to Carroll scientist, cosmological theory poses philosophical issues related to the way people perceive replicas in other branches, because they also stem from us.

"" They "have the same memory as" we ", and" they "can also be considered" we ", just being isolated in another universe. The number of branches actually increases with time. The older you get, the more versions of "you" are, " explains Carroll.

Carroll thinks that this is like the Star Trek teleport machine malfunctioning and making 2 copies of "you". "They" are all real, but will live another life and you can not interfere.

Your identity over time is like a branch that grows out of the future. But once your version is forked, there's no way to contact "them". Only certain thing is that "they" are still there and just as real as you.

Carroll does not think that a new ego will be shaped by every small decision you make or not make in your life.

"You decided not to eat pizza or hamburger one night. But in another you have a hamburger or pizza in another. That's how quantum mechanics creates a new world," says Carrol. .

The universe has arranged?

Like many other theorists, Roger Penrose - a physics mathematician and science philosopher 0 did not believe in multiverse. In contrast, Stephen Hawking, a famous name in the scientific world, believes this theory.

Some scientists have sought to refute the argument of Everett, but after decades, no one has found errors in this argument. For that reason, some scientists like Carroll agree that the multiverse is the only logical way to understand quantum mechanics.

"If we take this theory seriously, we can explain very illogical events like 'quantum tunneling,' describing the movement of the physical system from one state to another. is generally prohibited by classical laws of physics , " Carroll said.

"This logic makes placing a cup of coffee on a table that can cause a cup of coffee to pass through and drop to the floor. This is unthinkable, but if you believe in the multiverse, there will be a world where this has happening".

Also according to the belief of the scientist Everett, there are countless "friends" who are "living" somewhere right in this "existence". In addition, the multiverse also makes you question the whole meaning of life, as well as your beliefs about fate and destiny.

"The universe knows all that is happening, while we will never turn to them, until we actually" go "there," see "what is happening but will not be able to interfere. on, " said Mr. Carroll.
