They found that it's probably quite rare if it happens at all - according to their figures, the probability of a neutron making the leap to another universe is smaller than one in a million.
But that doesn't rule it out completely, especially considering how many neutrons there are out there. Moreover, Sarrazin thinks he has a way to observe this experimentally. A change in the gravitational potential should also affect the rate of matter swapping, and the gravitational potential here on Earth changes as the planet moves around the Sun. Run a neutron trapping experiment for a full year, and you could see if there is a modulation in the rate of neutron decay based on some kind of annual cycle. If so, that means the neutrons probably aren't just decaying, but swapping universes as well.


The general theory is to put some Neurons in a container, wait a year and see if there's still the same amount by that given time. The neurons in the container will be put in a "supercold" state and the physicists will be able to calculate the rate the Neurons decay. If there are some missing Neurons that shouldn't have decayed then there's a possibility of them travelling through different universes.
Opinions?

They haven't proven string theory yet. Now they want to prove other universes?

Less than one in a million?

Considering how many trillions of neutrons there are in this world, that says a lot :wacko:

I think you mean neutrinos not neurons. Either way, I don't believe in multi-universe theories.

Here this should help those who have problems wrapping there head around these theorys

There are MANY (hundreds) of new theories about life, universe, matter, consciousness popping up every week at this moment.

We are living one of the greatest evolutionary moments if our lives right now.

Lets see where it all goes ;p

edit: there's also the hologram theory which is very supported by many.
And some people also support the idea of multi universes but where according to the way you think, you instantly jump to the one where you ARE like that and everything is made according to the way you are. Even your friends won't be the same.
