Reflections on the topic of alternative reality - this is what prevented philosophers of ancient times from sleeping at night. Among the Romans and Hellenes, in ancient treatises, one can find confirmation of this. After all, they, like us, have always been interested in thinking about whether there are their counterparts in worlds parallel to ours?
Moreover, thanks to the thoughts of the ancient sages, a special branch of physics was created, dedicated to mysteries related to time, as well as other inexplicable phenomena. And now, armed with knowledge accumulated over centuries, scientists are on the verge of a possible discovery that could turn our entire understanding of the world upside down.
Development of the theory of parallel worlds
To the masses, such reasoning was first promoted by such famous science fiction writers of the 19th century as Herbert Wales and Jules Verne. But the possibility of the existence of an alternative reality began to be considered more closely by scientists only after 1905. And this is not surprising, becauseit was then that such a concept as a four-dimensional continuum appeared in the Special Theory of Relativity (SRT).
This mathematical term indicates that the concept of space does not have three parameters, but four. This is:
- Length.
- Width.
- Height.
- Time.
True, some scientists were skeptical about the fourth parameter, since time cannot be constant. Many physicists already then wondered what life in an alternative reality is like, and whether it exists at all. But, alas, attempts to find out were unsuccessful. In theory, scientists certainly agreed that time travel was possible. What you just need to understand is how to build a time machine correctly - and everything will work out. However, they also understood that the probability that this could be realized was zero, since the laws of causality would be violated (for example, the “killed butterfly paradox”).
UFO Problem
Everything would be fine, but in the 47th year of the XX century, the first mention of "Unidentified Flying Objects" appeared, and many great minds began to associate this with an alternative reality. True, some scientists believed that the appearance of UFOs is associated with reasons such as:
- Hallucinations due to schizophrenia.
- Journey of alien guests to Earth.
- The appearance of the latest aircraft from the greatest military powers.
But soon even the most skeptical atheist fell silent,thinking about the fact that the existence of parallel worlds is quite possible. Because, to all other evidence of the theory of curvature of time space, information was added about such mysterious creatures as the yeti, the Loch Ness monster, chupacabra and other very “cute” characters that pop up in the media. In general, to prove that time has no constancy, scientists put forward a hypothesis about parallel worlds. And after some time, David Oxford and several of his associates proved that an alternative reality is a layer of chronos that goes along with our reality. And when it is proven to be multidimensional, the greatest minds of mankind will be able to build a time machine.
A modern view of the possibility of existence
Alternative reality… Does it really exist? The question is delicate, since opinions are divided, and the theory of parallel worlds has both supporters and opponents. To date, there is no officially established definition for other worlds, but the term " alternative reality" is most often used. This implies that we are not moving alone in time and sometimes even "fall through" into a parallel dimension.
How many worlds are there?
Unfortunately, there is no exactly confirmed data, so science fiction writers and scientists give different answers to this question. A very famous writer A. P. Kazantsev suggested that in addition to our (main) world, there are two parallel ones:
- Slightly ahead of time. From which,perhaps flying machines amazing to us arrive, or, more simply, UFOs.
- Slightly "lagging behind" our reality. It is from there that the yeti, dinosaurs and mammoths visit us.
But other science fiction creators of the world indicate that there are dozens and even thousands of alternative realities. Moreover, recently there has been a tendency that parallel worlds are calculated in infinity, since any act of each of us that we have done or just planned to carry out is the creation of an alternative reality. And the conclusions are from the fact that time is impermanent. This was also confirmed by Stanford scientists, who hypothesized that around our dimension there are 10 in 1,010,000,000 degrees of parallel worlds.
How to get into an alternate reality?
The laws of our universe are quite accurate, but this does not mean the complete absence of errors. After all, any clock mechanism over time can fail in well-coordinated work, therefore cosmic rhythms can also disrupt their measured flow. And shifts, in turn, can provoke changes in our reality. Although the worlds running parallel to each other are hidden from the eyes of their inhabitants, they still have points of contact, and this has a certain effect on them.
By compiling a map of the Earth and marking on it the places where UFOs were seen, you can see that it was there that various paranormal phenomena, disappearances of people, the appearance of strange creatures and many other mysterious incidents were recorded. Andall these cases are full of mysteries and coincidences shrouded in a veil of secrecy. Paranormal phenomena are always concentrated in the zone of a particular geolocation (that is, they only happen at certain points), and it is there that you should look for the gates to alternative worlds.
Here is a list of places that perfectly fit the description of anomalous zones that should not be visited:
- Mountain of the Dead (Sverdlovsk region of Russia) - people die there under mysterious circumstances.
- Windy Yenikov (Czech Republic) - famous for frequent accidents.
- Mount Bo-Dzhausa (Russia) – air crashes occur.
- Long Pass (USA) - people are disappearing.
- Black Bamboo Valley (China) – famous for disappearances.
There are also many more mysterious places, among which the Bermuda Triangle is especially famous.
Differences between our world and other worlds
Life in another dimension may differ from our reality very slightly, but it also happens that the changes are absolute. In an alternate reality, you may have others:
- friends parents, children, lovers;
- important events in life;
- incidents;
- diseases;
- geographic location;
- historical timeline;
- political situation.
If we assume that the slightest act or action creates a new reality, then it is not difficult to imagine a world with a completely different history. Therefore, the idea ofthat somewhere in the “library of time and space” the USSR is still flourishing is quite normal, as is the fact that slavery still exists in one of the dimensions. And if humanity hadn't come up with nuclear weapons that could wipe more than one state into dust, the Cuban Missile Crisis would not have been resolved, and Hitler would have conquered the whole world. What would our life be like? Of course, things would have turned out differently.
Many philosophers suggest that in one reality there can be heaven, in another - hell, and in the third - purgatory. Others believe that they may not have gravity, and indeed the laws of physics will work differently. Moreover, there is a scientific term "Anti-world", reflecting the opposite of our reality.
Astral
The astral world is described in ancient manuscripts as a kind of subtle substance, invisible to mere mortals. Magicians travel there in search of answers, through meditation or other methods of penetration that are shrouded in mystery. Of course, not everyone believes in the existence of magic, ghosts, witchcraft, demon possession, demons and other paranormal phenomena and concepts, but why then do all religions tell us that the soul is immortal and “leaves” to another world? Why, when official medicine turns away from a terminally ill person, some grandmother from a remote village literally pulls him “from the other world”? Isn't it a miracle?!
Without a doubt, some stories are just a figment of someone else's fantasy - a fairy tale, but also throughout the history of mankind there are alwayseyewitnesses who confirm that they saw the same thing in different parts of the world. Of course, it is unlikely that anyone will believe now that lightning is the chariot of Zeus, Perun or another deity, since scientists have long discovered that this is an electric discharge. But after all, thousands of people from different countries who observe UFOs cannot be under the influence of hypnosis, can they? How can you not trust them?
According to the conclusions of parapsychologists, the astral world is inhabited by creatures (or entities) that come to us through "funnel" that open in anomalous places. For example, ships often disappear in the Bermuda Triangle, as well as planes flying over it. And this is a clear indicator that electromagnetic and temporal anomalies are raging there, and there are enough stories about this. In addition, you should not “play with fire” by independently conducting black book rituals and conspiracies from magic books or web pages, as this is fraught with very serious consequences!
Regardless of whether we believe in something or not, it has the right to exist and can both help and harm. An alternative reality is astral worlds closely intertwined with ours, which have points of contact and intersect in places with electromagnetic anomalies. Being there is dangerous for life, but sometimes we get there in our dreams, which then come true. Also, many of us know such a phenomenon as "déjà vu", in which we feel that this event has already happened, or the place is familiar to us, although you came there for the first time.
Those who wish canfind an entrance to another world and try to start life in an alternative reality from scratch through special magical practices and meditation. But sometimes it happens by chance, due to mysterious events that take place from time to time. For example, it happens that an adult man ends up in another city and does not remember anything about his former life, so he starts it all over again.
Alternate reality stories
In the media, from the very beginning of the 20th century, there are often eyewitness accounts of some mysterious incidents that can be attributed to travel between worlds. And here are some of them:
- One day at the beginning of the 20th century, a man was detained in Paris who had a blackout: he absolutely did not remember who he was and where he came from. And in his pocket was found a map of the world, but everything looked different on it.
- In the US Stratford, Connecticut, something strange happened in 1850. Henry Phelps, a 12-year-old boy, suffered from an invisible and powerful force that lifted him into the air, beat him, threw him at the ceiling and tore his clothes to shreds!
- In 2000, the editorial office of the Trud newspaper received a letter with the following content:
-“…Somehow my little sister went for a walk, but left the keys at home, as my mother was not going to go anywhere. After a couple of hours, he and his girlfriend returned, but no one answered the knock on the door. She banged and rang the doorbell for quite some time, but eventually went outside again. And when she returned an hour later, she found that her mother was at home and, it turns out, nowherewas leaving! Moreover, she did not sleep and did not even turn on any equipment. As a result, they joked that the little sister apparently visited a parallel world in which there was no one at home. But then it happened to me, but everything was much more interesting! I returned home, opening the door with the keys, as there was no one at home. I threw a freshly bought magazine somewhere, had lunch and ran away to the lessons. In the evening, when I returned home, I could not find him, and my mother and sister did not see him either. In addition, it turned out that they, it turns out, spent the whole day at home and were worried that I did not come to dinner. Does this mean that I also entered an alternate reality?”
Research on the existence of parallel worlds still does not stop and is more relevant than ever. The fictions of many science fiction writers are gradually becoming realistic, and scientists cannot logically answer some of the mysteries of the universe. Everything goes on as usual, but sooner or later all the secrets will be revealed, however, it is not a fact that life without riddles will become lean and uninteresting. Fantasies help to live, and the dream is the engine of progress. But still, traveling to other worlds would be an unforgettable experience for each of us.
