What if.

There's one particular theory in quantum physics I like. I like it, because it literally means, all things are possible. The many worlds theory. The concept of a "multiverse" reality isn't just a clever way to pander to DC fanboys Sometimes, the things we imagine are possible, in this particular theory, everything we imagine is.

As the theory goes, anything can and will happen, somewhere, at least. There is another world for every decision, ever made. In this world it doesn't happen, and therefore in another world it does. The thought arose when people were getting down to the molecular nitty gritty. Down at the subatomic level, things begin to behave, oddly. It's as if the laws of physics, as we know it, cease to exist. If that wasn't cool enough, the reason many worlds suggests for this, is that the walls between realities begin to break down. So when it appears particles are just disappearing, or bumping into things, it's because they are, they're falling in holes in another universe, or banging into it's own counterpart on the other side of a crumbling barrier between the worlds. The implications for that, are actually far reaching, allowing for an odd form of time travel to be theoretically possible. . .though not where I'm going with this today.

In m theory, it has been proposed by some that there are at least 11 dimensions within each reality. That these dimensions are curled up, like sprouts, coiled and very thin, so that when looking directly at them, the various dimensions are not able to be seen. The belief in these extra dimensions, are that when equations are drawn assuming 11 dimensions, instead of the usual 4 (3 dimensions of space, and one of time), a unified theory of everything can be created. All the major branches of physics and their various laws, interlock, and complete a puzzle.

Of course this is all theory, very little practice, and damnit Jim I'm a. . .well I'm not a doctor, but I'm no physicist either. . .

I'm not one for math and numbers, despite being fascinated by the theories they support. My thoughts are more, right brained. . .or is it left? Whichever one is more flighty.

And maybe that's why it makes me much more willnig to accept both of these theories. To me, if it's possible that there are 11 dimensions, areas of the universe, that we cannot see, because they are coiled up and hidden in the fabric of our reality, then maybe the same can be said for whole universes.

And that, would be fantastic.

When it comes to multiple realities, they're generally described as branches on a tree. Like a family history, each time a decision is made, the two outcomes branch out and create their own world around that decision. If that's the case, which world is the first? And what happened to create the first branches? Which world is this even? And do the divisions keep happening within each reality, second by second? Who's choice created our world? And how serious a decision need it be to be the catalyst for all of creation?
