You will probably enjoy watching this and the series it is from, awesome stuff explains alot of the theories you are referring too :)

If you guys have a bunch of time on your hands, check out lectures by Leonard Susskind posted on youtube by Stanford.



That is the first lecture in his quantum mechanics course. He does a bunch of others too.

Susskind is one of the fathers of string theorry. The ease and clarity of his speaking about these extremely difficult topics is amazing. It is really necessary to at least have a little understanding of current theories (and why they are theories and accepted) before you start posting this kind of junk in the science forum.

i hope u know a lot of science is not fact but theory...


you're the one that said it was fact :wacko:

Thats more metaphysics than real science.


when both options are aren't exactly falsifiable... can't really dismiss either one

Which is why its metaphysics, aka philosophy. Physics is a science to which the scientific method can be applied.

if you cannot falsify the many-worlds interpretation, it means you cannot prove the opposite interpretation either.

Read carefully. The many worlds interpretation is a philosophical response to quantum mechanics, hence, metaphysics.

i watched a documentary on quantum physics and yet again another 1 says the multi world interpretation is becoming more and more popular

There are like 20 different interpretations. Like I said, its all metaphysics.

It is an attempt to describe the workings of quantum mechanics in English rather than math. But in the end, the most complete description comes from the mathematical formulas.

If you were to "time travel"

you wouldn't really be travelling through time, but you would be travelling to that same spot in another universe at the time you want to be in

You would cease to exist in Universe A when you "time travelled" to Universe B

Thats what I like to think anyways
