A new scientific theory called the “many interacting worlds” hypothesis (MIW) suggests that not only do parallel worlds exist, but they interact with our world on the quantum level. Scientists say that MIW could mean that parallel worlds can be detected for the very first time.
Thecollectiveint.com reports:
Though still speculative, the theory may help to finally explain some of the bizarre consequences inherent in quantum mechanics, reports RT.com.
The theory is a spin-off of the many-worlds interpretation in quantum mechanics — an idea that posits that all possible alternative histories and futures are real, each representing an actual, though parallel, world. One problem with the many-worlds interpretation, however, has been that it is fundamentally untestable, since observations can only be made in our world. Happenings in these proposed “parallel” worlds can thus only be imagined.
MIW, however, says otherwise. It suggests that parallel worlds can interact on the quantum level, and in fact that they do.
“The idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957,” explained Howard Wiseman, a physicist at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, and one of the physicists to come up with MIW. “In the well-known ‘Many-Worlds Interpretation’, each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made. All possibilities are therefore realised – in some universes the dinosaur-killing asteroid missed Earth. In others, Australia was colonised by the Portuguese.”
“But critics question the reality of these other universes, since they do not influence our universe at all,” he added. “On this score, our “Many Interacting Worlds” approach is completely different, as its name implies.”
Wiseman and colleagues have proposed that there exists “a universal force of repulsion between ‘nearby’ (i.e. similar) worlds, which tends to make them more dissimilar.” Quantum effects can be explained by factoring in this force, they propose.
No, they don’t exist. Sorry to burst your bubble but there is zero evidence to support this claim. It’s all conjecture.

WRONG, Segarus!
You really need to keep your mouth shut when you have NO CLUE at all of what you are commenting about!
Is Mathematics the most exacting way to “communicate” and “learn” on this Planet??
THE ANSWER IS yes! Now, read about the two NEW particles just discovered recently.
And, now, with the following knowledge, we should be able to travel to these “parallel Universes” AT OUR WILL!
Because, in EVERY SINGLE ATOM that makes up your “earthly body”, there is a “component” called Baryon that “part of it’s mass” can SPONTANEOUSLY burst into and out of existence in THIS UNIVERSE!
Read On!
The two new particles reinforce the standard model of physics, which is a working theory that describes all the known particles in the universe. The discovery of the particles is also helping physicists learn more about one of the fundamental forces in the universe, strong force, which acts like glue and hold particles together.
The research was published on Feb. 10 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
The two new particles are named Xib’- and Xib*- (pronounced “zi-b-prime” and “zi-b-star,” Scientific American points out).
Both Xib-and Xib*- are a type of particle called a baryon.
Baryons include familiar particles like protons and neutrons, which are held together by strong force.
(The other fundamental forces in the universe are gravity, electromagnetism, and weak force. Strong force holds particles together; weak force makes particles decay.)
Scientists understand the basic theory of strong force, and they can use the theory to estimate the sizes and masses of different baryons.
But the mathematical equations behind strong force are incredibly complex.
That’s because the particles they apply to have some wacky characteristics.
Part of a baryon’s mass can “spontaneously” burst “into and out of” existence.
This weird flux makes it difficult to use strong force to predict their mass.
Physicists test their predictions against real data collected by particle accelerators like the LHC to see if they’re on the right track.
For these particular particles, the actual mass measurements from the LHC data agreed with the masses that physicists had already predicted. The two new particles are each about six times larger than a proton, according to a press release from CERN, the home of the LHC. For physicists, this result is more evidence that they’re on the right track when it comes to understanding strong force.
Wait, it’s a “scientific THEORY called the “many interacting worlds” HYPOTHESIS?” So, is it a theory or an hypothesis?
