SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Parallel Worlds Exist

  • In a radical new theory, scientists have proposed that parallel universes really do exist and they interact with one another.
  • Professor Howard Wiseman, Dr. Michael Hall and Dr Dirk-Andre Deckert have proposed that parallel universes exist, and rather than evolving independently, nearby worlds influence one another by a subtle force of repulsion.
  • Quantum theory is needed to explain how the universe works at the microscopic scale, and is believed to apply to all matter. But it is notoriously difficult to fathom, exhibiting weird phenomena which seem to violate the laws of cause and effect.
  • The idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957.
