This week on the Space.com forums: Parallel universes, the moon, UFOs and a solar quiz! Space.com
Drawing upon a paper published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the pseudonymous magictr explains this bold thesis and the scientific underpinnings of potential escape hatches into parallel dimensions or other universes. Moreso how potential evidence for the phenomenon has already been observed in the heart of our own galaxy. Yet who has […]
More than half a decade ago, Hugh Everett and his theories couldn’t get spit on if he was on fire. Nowadays, probably thanks to Philip K. Dick and other weirdos, the idea of many worlds is suddenly rational and acceptable even to grayfaces. Cory Powell explains the mechanics, and the potential, of parallel universes and […]
Every decision spawns a new universe, writes Sean Carroll, but there’s a bit of a conundrum. A good decision in a universe means there’s a bad decision happening in another universe, so how can one maximize the good? It appears there’s an app for that, and a few other hypothetical gadgets waiting in the wings. […]
No matter the current fascination, Roswell just keeps on keepin’ on. If you’ve never heard the USAF rationale for their “crash test dummy” Roswell explanation, Nick Redfern’s got it in an easy read. Then things get weirder with some Strange Tales of Rats: Conspiracies, Roswell & Bacteriological Warfare. Nick remains in his “wheelhouse” with little-known […]
Siberia is holding fast to its position of weirdest place on the planet. Recent thawing has revealed another hominid species that existed around the same time as the land bridge between Europe and North America. So far these newly discovered peoples do not appear to be connected to our earliest North American aboriginal peoples, however. […]
Nick Redfern reminds us that ufology, often considered a “fringe” enthusiasm, has its own “fringy” areas–cases where the field intersects with other paranormal phenomena. Yet the human element underlies them all. Headlining: a very creepy story that opens with “a degree of missing time involved” in appropriately-named Mount Misery, New York. The terrifying event “was […]
We may not be able to slip sideways and hit up our alternate universe, opposite-sex selves yet, you know you want to, but a smartypants computer can tell you how things work over there. How are Tailin Wu and Max Tegmark doing it? Keeping things simple and starting the way Galileo did. Hopefully the Vatican […]
Just in case you thought that listening to Dr. Brian Cox speaking on YouTube about the LHC had put you “in the know” about current physics developments, may we be the first to tell you that the surface of what’s possible hasn’t even begun to be scratched. But what’s so refreshing about this piece by […]
How to test the prospect of quantum immortality? Chris Savia tackles the issue of superposition and the memory of events from parallel universes, citing the work of two Australian University researchers whose recent paper is entitled “What would it have looked like if it looked like I were in a superposition?” Berenstain Bears anyone? In […]
