Parallel Universes

5.17.08

Ok, so , I'm going to rant on a theory I have that is based on pretty much nothing except for Sci-Fi and out-there beliefs.

I was on WikiAnswers, and I saw someone ask the question of if there was time before the Big Bang. When I saw the question, my mind immediately said 'no', because time itself is purely a human concept. We created the so- called 'time' to keep things in order. There is no proof that time is an actual thing, so in fact, time does not exist anywhere except for in the mind of a human.

Anyway, [lol], I was reading the response to this person's question, and the responder mentioned something about the existence of parallel universes, and that the idea of them offers the possibility that 'not only time, but many other universes may exist very close to our own, but inaccessibly (at present) locked into dimensional warps.'

Hmmm. Well.... I for one didn't even know that mainstream scientists were even investigating the possibility of parallel universes.

Now, for the theory part. In my opinion, I think these parallel universes DO exist. I think this for a few reasons. One thing, how can someone say they don't exist? We have no way of knowing if they do or not, b/c we don't have advanced enough technology to step outside our own universe, and with it's constant rate of expansion being faster than our development of technology, we may never know. Secondly, this has been something that i have talked about with a close friend of mine;

You know all those vivid oral stories that are passed down through handfuls of generations in a culture? The ones that talk about 3 headed monsters, or mermaids and fairies, or ones that talk about animals that can talk, or morphing beings? Or the rumors of dwarfs and elves, and Big Foot or the Lochness Monster? Who is to say that those stories aren;t real? They are birthed through the human imagination, yes, but, how they got there? That may be where the parallel universe steps in. In order for the human mind to think of something so splendid, the mind must be inflicted by some exterior happening. It's like with dreams. If you have a dream about a tiger, or a tiger is in your dream, some time throughout the previous day, you more than likely interacted with something that had to do with a tiger, whether it was something visual, audio, a thought, or touch.

In order for the people who came up with the fables, they had to have interacted with something that had to do with fairies or mermaids or minotaurs for those kinds of ideas to have been put in their mind in the first place.

If you want to argue that that is imagination, then step back for a second. Let's say 'God' put those ideas in your imagination. There are a few things I could say about that, but for now; Tell me, where is God? Not in space. Even though people call space 'the heavens', God is not up there sitting in a meditative state on some planet. Yet, people say he [or she] exists. So, what if he or she is in one of these parallel universes.

What about Deja Vu? Explain that. That could also be happening in a parallel universe. We could coincidentally be doing something in another universe that is an exact copy of our lives here in this universe.

So, where did those mythical creatures come from? Where did those fantastical ideas arise out of? It might sound stupid, but I think that they may have come from those so-called parallel universes. ....Have any of you ever seen the movie The Last Mimzy? Think back to the part where they discover that Mimzy has technology more advanced than we could ever imagine. The same thing happens in The Transformers.

People theorize that aliens have technology that is much more advanced than our own, and that is how they come to earth, and that is how they interfere with military signals or whatever it is "they" 'do'. How do you know if the 'things' in parallel universes don't have that same kind of advanced technology? How do we know if there isn't a parallel universe right next to us, filled with humans controlled by some Mega-monster dictator? Or if the parallel universe isn't filled with some conception of The Matrix, or of zombies?

The answer is, we don't know. We can't know for a long time, and when that long time comes, who knows if we'll be advanced enough. Either way, it's still fun to wonder.

End opinion: I think parallel universes exist, and it's totally awesome.

So, I'm tweaked right now. I was just watching a documentary on the Science channel about parallel universes, and at the very end, one of the men being interviewed said that it seemed very possible to create a universe, which would create it's own space and splice itself from our universe without displacing anything in it.

This makes me think, what if we were created, just like how those scientists are working on creating a universe? I mean, we say that there are other life forms who have much more advanced technologies than us [i.e.- aliens, which I will discuss later], so, it's very possible that they have long since had the tech to make a universe. We're close enough, and they are all far ahead of us, so it's really probable.

That could be why we can't explain stuff, or why some say there's a God that created us. God, being, something to have been powerful enough to make us. That God could very well be some screwy scientist having fun in the lab making universes away, controlling what happens with laws of math and physics. Controlling how many particles and how much of a leakage of gravity would see into those multiple universes, or the multiverse itself.

Moving on to the aliens, and parallel universes. Since I now know that the idea of parallel universes is widely accepted, and pretty provable, I'm going to feel free to say that this gives more reason to believe in life forms other than those which exist on this planet. I'm going to side track for a minute; one of [if not The One] the accepted theories on the creation of this universe is the Big Bang Theory. There are many theories on how the Big Bang happened, but the one I'm going to talk about is the theory that two universes collided. I think I mentioned this back in May, but the thought of two universes colliding is something I've long thought about before I ever watched this freakin' document, or even heard of the idea from somewhere else. [This actually makes me pretty mad. It took physicists 10 years to figure that out. I did in like.. 5 minutes. Yet, I still suck at the SAT and other stupid shit. How unfair. =(. There is also something else I read that also pisses me off, because it's something I thought about way before I read the article. haha.]

Basically, we only know.. err... theorize that two universes may have collided to create a third. We don't know anything about other plausible universes or what is inside of them, we only know some of what is in our own, so we shouldn't bet on finding out about others any time soon. Saying this, we don't know for sure if there is some other life form in another universe, or what anything in that universe is like. It could be the same as ours, or completely opposite, or it could have it's own set of laws of physics that defy every law we know that is somehow correlated with forces we recognize such as gravity and matter. I wouldn't be surprised if aliens existed in a universe other than our own. It would explain why we rarely, but do, encounter them. I'd imagine it'd at least take them a few hours to get to Earth, even with advanced technology. Them being from some place else probably also explains why we don't recognize the 'technologies' of their 'UFO's'.

[I feel really silly for writing that^. haha.]

Onto the other thing that made me mad. I read an interview that Discover magazine had with cosmologist, Max Tegmark. He apparently submitted a theory about there being multiple parallel universes, each one with a bunch of different you's. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, isn't that the same thing as what I wrote in May?? ......

This guy has a PhD, went to Berkeley to get it, and was enrolled in two colleges in Sweden before coming to the US. I'm a 17 year old girl stuck in Old-People, Florida, and I don't even have a high school diploma yet. What does that say about having your PhD and being some famous scientist as opposed to being just some small town girl? There's no difference!

End conclusion: I guess this wasn't just a rant based on Sci-Fi and out-there theories, scientists actually consider this. lol. Kooll.
