Is There Another “You” in a Parallel Universe?

 “If a coin comes down heads, that means that the possibility of its coming down tails has collapsed. Until that moment the two possibilities were equal.

But in another world, it does come down tails. And when that happens, the two worlds split apart.”


             - Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass


Do you believe that humans have gained the maximum information or knowledge about our world, our solar system, our galaxy, our universe? What is out there after our universe? Only black space without gravity and with billions or trillions of stars? It might be possible or might not be.


Let’s talk about one of the most fascinating possibilities of the universe- THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE or THE MULTIVERSE. 

                         

Do you believe that the parallel universe exists?


The idea of the parallel universe is so fascinating and is always loved by people and of course the scientists.


The Parallel universe or multiverse has been mentioned many times in our ancient Hindu scriptures. In “Srimadvibhagavat” it is discussed that When Brahma Ji took the test of lord Shri Krishna, he could not understand his divine play. Then Lord Shri Krishna called millions of Brahmas.


 Then Shri Krishna had said that “You have the knowledge of earth but the universe is vast which is different from your understanding. This is not the only universe but many other universes also exist. I take many forms in this universe. Every universe has different times and rules.”


You might have heard the story of 1954 when a man who arrived at Tokyo airport from the country named “Taurad” which  did not exist and still does not. He had a visa of all the countries and claimed that his country is 1000 years old. He was locked up in a room and later he vanished. Experts say that the man came from the parallel universe.


These stories/fictions support the existence of the multiverse. Don't they? 


Who made the pyramids of Egypt? How are they so perfectly aligned? 

The limestones used in the pyramids weigh between 2,700-70,000 KGs. How did they manage to pick heavy blocks when it is not even possible today to pick up such heavy blocks? 


These questions support the existence of the multiverse. Their civilization might have travelled to earth to make perfectly aligned sculptures. 


Around 13.7 billion years ago, there was nothing, no universe, galaxies, no solar system, no planets. But then a big explosion took place in space which is known as the ‘Big Bang’. The Big Bang led to the birth of our universe, billions of galaxies, solar systems, planets. 


What if the Big Bang also led to the formation of many universes? We can not deny this possibility because we do not know the ‘actual truth’.  


A Parallel universe or multiverse now is not only a science fiction story but there are many theories that support the existence of a parallel universe.

Many scientists have proposed different theories about the existence of the parallel universe.


One of these theories about the parallel universe is proposed by Hugh Everett ‘Many-worlds interpretation’. The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics holds that there are many worlds that exist in parallel at the same space and time as our own. The existence of the other worlds makes it possible to remove randomness and action at a distance from quantum theory and thus from all physics.


It states that even the small differences change huge things in both worlds.


The other theory is also provided  by the great scientist Stephen Hawking.

He believed that the way our universe exists, it is possible that other universes are also existing  which are like our own. They may have their own galaxies, block holes or maybe their own civilizations.


 He proposed this theory with reference to [10:14 pm, 04/01/2022] .:  the Big Bang theory that when the Big Bang took place, it created our universe, it is possible that along with our universe other universes have also taken birth that we do not know about.


Scientists who agree with Stephen Hawking's Parallel universe theory believe that due to the same physical existence it is possible that there are planets in the parallel universes on which life exists  just as there is civilization on earth. or because of being formed at the same time, life must have started just like on the earth, but it is not important that development took place like it did on earth.


As there is an endless possibility that life might have ended on the planet of the parallel universe due to some astronomical incidents. It is possible that no asteroid might have collided with the planet there which might have ended the reign of dinosaurs there or an asteroid could have collided with the planet there which might have ended the whole civilization or life there.


This states that even small differences can make huge differences in the two universes. 


The existence of the multiverse is not yet proven. But the facts, stories, fictions, theories and the Egyptian pyramids are some things that support the idea of the multiverse.


Humans can not deny the concept of the existence of the parallel universe when only 35% of the earth is explored by humans and when humans have still not explored more than 80% of the ocean.
