Quantum physics: what is actually real?

Owen Maroney worries that physicists have been involved in a big hoax for half a century...

According to Maruni, a physicist at Oxford University, since the advent of quantum theory in the 1900s, everyone has been talking about oddities of this theory. How it allows particles and atoms to move in multiple directions at the same time, or rotate clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time. But words can't prove anything.

“If we tell the public that quantum theory is very strange, we need to test this claim experimentally,” says Maruni. “Otherwise, we are not doing science, but talking about all sorts of squiggles on the board ...”

This is what led Maruni et al. to develop a new series of experiments to reveal the essence of the wave function - the mysterious essence underlying quantum oddities.

On paper, the wave function is just a mathematical object, denoted by the letter psi (Ψ ) (one of those squiggles), and is used to describe the quantum behavior of particles.

Depending on the experiment, the wave function allows scientists to calculate the probability of observing an electron in some specific location, or the chances that its spin is up or down. But the math doesn't say what exactly is a wave function. Is it something physical? Or just a computational tool to work with the observer's ignorance about the real world?

The tests used to answer the question are very subtle, and they still have to give a definitive answer. But researchers are optimistic that the denouement is near. And they will finally be able to answer the questions that have tormented everyone for decades. Can a particle really be in many places at the same time? Is the universe constantly divided into parallel worlds, each of which has our alternate version? Is there really anything called « objective reality» ?

“Such questions sooner or later appear in anyone,” says Alessandro Fedrici, physicist from the University of Queensland (Australia).

"What is really real?"

Disputes about the essence of reality began even when physicists found out that a wave and a particle are only two sides of the same coin. A classic example is the double slit experiment, where individual electrons are fired into a barrier that has two slits: the electron behaves as if it passes through two slits at the same time, creating a striped interference pattern on the other side of it. In 1926 the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger came up with a wave function to describe this behavior and derived an equation that allowed it to be calculated for any situation. But neither he nor anyone else could say anything about the nature of this function.

Grace in Ignorance

From a practical point of view, its nature is not important. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory, created in the 1920s by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, uses the wave function simply as tool to predict the results of observations, allowing you not to think about what happens in reality.

“Physicists cannot be blamed for this “shut up and count” behavior, as it has led to significant breakthroughs in nuclear and atomic physics, physics solid body and particle physics,” says Gene Brickmont, specialist in statistical physics Catholic University in Belgium. “So people are advised not to worry about fundamental issues.”

But some people still worry. By the 1930s, Einstein had rejected the Copenhagen interpretation, not least because it allowed two particles to entangle their wave functions, leading to a situation in which measurements of one of them could instantly give a state to the other, even if they were separated by huge distances.

Not to put up with it "frightening interaction at a distance", Einstein preferred to believe that the particle wave functions were incomplete. He said that perhaps the particles have some hidden variables that determine the result of the measurement, which were not noticed by quantum theory.

Experiments since then have demonstrated the workability of a frightening interaction at a distance, which rejects the concept of hidden variables, but this has not stopped other physicists from interpreting them in their own way. These interpretations fall into two camps. Some agree with Einstein that the wave function reflects our ignorance. These are what philosophers call psi-epistemic models. And others treat the wave function as a real thing - psionic models.

To understand the difference, consider the thought experiment Schrödinger described in a 1935 letter to Einstein. The cat is in a steel box. The box contains a sample of radioactive material that has a 50% chance of emitting a decay product in one hour, and an apparatus that will poison the cat if the product is detected.

Since radioactive decay is an event quantum level, writes Schrödinger, the rules of quantum theory say that at the end of the hour, the wave function of the inside of the box must be a mixture of a dead and a living cat.

“Roughly speaking,” Fedrichi puts it mildly, “in the psy-epistemic model, the cat in the box is either alive or dead, and we just don’t know because the box is closed.” And in most psionic models, there is agreement with the Copenhagen interpretation: until the observer opens the box, the cat will be both alive and dead at the same time.

But this is where the argument comes to a head. Which interpretation is true? This question is difficult to answer experimentally because the difference between the models is very subtle. They should essentially predict the same quantum phenomenon as the highly successful Copenhagen interpretation. Andrew White, a physicist at the University of Queensland, says that in his 20-year career in quantum technology, “the challenge was like a huge smooth mountain with no ledges that you couldn’t climb.”

Everything changed in 2011, with the publication of the quantum measurement theorem, which seemed to eliminate the approach "wave function as ignorance". But upon closer examination, it turned out that this theorem leaves enough room for them to maneuver. Nevertheless, it has inspired physicists to think seriously about ways to resolve the dispute by testing the reality of the wave function.

Maruni had already developed an experiment that worked in principle, and he and his colleagues soon found a way to make it work in practice. The experiment was carried out last year Fedrici, White and others.

To understand the idea of ​​the test, imagine two decks of cards. One contains only reds, the other contains only aces. “You are given a card and asked to determine what deck it is from,” says Martin Ringbauer, a physicist from the same university. If it's a red ace, "there's a crossover and you can't tell for sure." But if you know how many cards are in each deck, you can calculate how often such an ambiguous situation will occur.

Physics in danger

The same ambiguity happens in quantum systems as well. It is not always possible to find out, for example, how a photon is polarized by one measurement. "In real life, it's easy to tell west from just south of west, but in quantum systems it's not that easy," says White. According to the standard Copenhagen interpretation, there is no point in asking about polarization, because the question has no answer - until one more measurement determines the answer exactly.

But, according to the wave function as ignorance model, the question makes sense - just in an experiment, as in the one with decks of cards, not enough information. As with maps, it is possible to predict how many ambiguities can be explained by such ignorance, and compare with the large number of ambiguities allowed by standard theory.

This is exactly what Fedrichi and the team tested. The group measured the polarization and other properties in the photon beam, and found a level of intersection that could not be explained by "ignorance" models. The result supports an alternative theory - if objective reality exists, then the wave function exists. “Impressive that the team was able to solve such a complex problem with such a simple experiment,” says Andrea Alberti, physicist from the University of Bonn (Germany).

The conclusion is not yet carved into the granite: since the detectors captured only a fifth of the photons used in the test, one has to assume that the lost photons behaved in exactly the same way. This is a strong assumption, and the group is now working on ways to reduce losses and produce a more definitive result.

Meanwhile, Maruni's team at Oxford is working with the University of New South Wales (Australia) to replicate this experiment with easier-to-trace ions. “In the next six months, we will have an undeniable version of this experiment,” says Maruni.

But even if they succeed and the “wave function as reality” models win, then these models have different options. Experimenters will have to choose one of them.

One of the earliest interpretations was made in the 1920s by a Frenchman Louis de Broglie, and expanded in the 1950s by an American David Bohm. According to the Broglie-Bohm models, the particles have a certain location and properties, but they are guided by a certain "pilot wave", which is defined as a wave function. This explains the double slit experiment, since the pilot wave can pass through both slits and produce an interference pattern, although the electron itself, drawn by it, passes through only one of the two slits.

In 2005, this model received unexpected support. Physicists Emmanuel Fort, now at the Langevin Institute in Paris, and Yves Codier from the University of Paris Diderot asked the students a simple, in their opinion, task: to set up an experiment in which drops of oil falling on a tray would merge due to the vibrations of the tray. To the surprise of everyone around the drops, waves began to form as the tray vibrated at a certain frequency. “The drops started moving on their own on their own waves,” says Fort. “It was a dual object—a particle pulled by a wave.”

Since then, Fort and Coudier have shown that such waves can guide their particles in the double-slit experiment exactly as the pilot wave theory predicts, and can reproduce other quantum effects. But this does not prove the existence of pilot waves in the quantum world. “We were told that such effects are impossible in classical physics,” says Fort. “And here we showed what is possible.”

Another set of reality-based models, developed in the 1980s, attempts to explain the strong difference in properties between large and small objects. “Why can electrons and atoms be in two places at the same time, but tables, chairs, people and cats cannot,” says Angelo Basi, physicist at the University of Trieste (Italy).

Known as "collapse models," these theories say that the wave functions of individual particles are real, but can lose their quantum properties and bring the particle to a certain position in space. The models are constructed in such a way that the chances of such a collapse are extremely small for a single particle, so that quantum effects dominate at the atomic level. But the probability of collapse increases rapidly when particles combine, and macroscopic objects completely lose their quantum properties and behave according to the laws of classical physics.

One way to test this is to look for quantum effects in large objects. If the standard quantum theory is correct, then there is no size limit. And physicists have already done the double-slit experiment with large molecules. But, if the collapse models are correct, then quantum effects will not be visible beyond a certain mass.

Various groups plan to search for this mass using cold atoms, molecules, metal clusters and nanoparticles. They hope to find results in the next ten years. "What's cool about these experiments is that we'll be putting quantum theory to exact tests where it hasn't been tested yet," says Maruni.

Parallel Worlds

One “wave function as reality” model is already known and loved by science fiction writers. This is a many-worlds interpretation developed in the 1950s Hugh Everett, who at the time was a student at Princeton University in New Jersey. In this model, the wave function determines the development of reality so strongly that with each quantum measurement, the universe splits into parallel worlds. In other words, when we open a box with a cat, we create two Universes - one with a dead cat, and the other with a live one.

It is difficult to separate this interpretation from the standard quantum theory, since their predictions coincide. But last year Howard Wiseman from Griffith University in Brisbane and colleagues proposed a multiverse model that can be tested. There is no wave function in their model - particles obey classical physics, Newton's laws. And the strange effects of the quantum world appear because between particles and their clones in parallel universes there is repulsive forces. “The repulsive force between them creates waves that propagate through all the parallel worlds,” Wiseman says.

Using a computer simulation in which 41 universes interacted, they showed that the model roughly reproduces several quantum effects, including particle trajectories in the double-slit experiment. With an increase in the number of worlds, the interference pattern tends to be real.

Since the theory's predictions differ depending on the number of worlds, Wiseman says, it's possible to test whether the multiverse model is correct—that is, that there is no wave function, and that reality works according to classical laws.

Since the wave function is not needed in this model, it will remain viable even if future experiments rule out "ignorance" models. In addition to it, other models will survive, for example, the Copenhagen interpretation, which claim that no objective reality, but there are only calculations.

But then, as White says, this question will become the object of study. And while no one knows yet how to do it, “what would be really interesting is to develop a test that checks whether we have an objective reality at all.”

Secrets of Quantum Physics - Einstein's Nightmare (Episode 1)

Secrets of Quantum Physics - Let there be Life (episode 2)

More detailed and a variety of information about the events taking place in Russia, Ukraine and other countries of our beautiful planet, you can get on Internet conferences, constantly held on the website "Keys of Knowledge". All Conferences are open and completely free. We invite all waking up and interested ...

In 1982 a remarkable event took place. A research team led by Alain Aspect at the University of Paris has unveiled what could be one of the most significant experiments of the 20th century. You won't hear about it on the evening news. Most likely, you have not even heard the name Alain Aspect, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals, although there are people who believed in his discovery and are able to change the face of science.

Aspect and his team have found that, under certain conditions, elementary particles, such as electrons, can instantly communicate with each other, regardless of the distance between them. It doesn't matter if it's 10 feet apart or 10 billion miles.

Somehow each particle always knows what the other is doing. The problem with this discovery is that it violates Einstein's postulate about the limiting speed of interaction propagation, equal speed Sveta. Because traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking through a time barrier, this frightening prospect has led some physicists to try to explain Aspect's experiments in complex workarounds. But it has inspired others to come up with more radical explanations.

For example, University of London physicist David Bohm believes that according to Aspect's discovery, reality does not exist, and that despite its apparent density, the universe is at its core a fiction, a gigantic, luxuriously detailed hologram.

To understand why Bohm came up with such a startling conclusion, we need to talk about holograms. A hologram is a three-dimensional photograph taken with a laser.
To make a hologram, the subject to be photographed must first be illuminated by laser light. Then the second laser beam, adding up with the reflected light from the object, gives an interference pattern that can be recorded on the film.

The picture taken looks like a meaningless alternation of light and dark lines. But as soon as the image is illuminated with another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the captured object immediately appears.

Three-dimensionality is not the only remarkable property of holograms. If the hologram is cut in half and illuminated with a laser, each half will contain the entire original image. If we continue to cut the hologram into smaller pieces, on each of them we will again find an image of the entire object as a whole. Unlike conventional photography, each area of ​​the hologram contains all the information about the subject.

The principle of the hologram "everything in every part" allows us to approach the issue of organization and order in a fundamentally new way. For almost its entire course, Western science has developed with the idea that The best way To understand a phenomenon, whether it be a frog or an atom, is to cut it apart and study its constituent parts. The hologram has shown us that some things in the universe cannot allow us to do so. If we dissect something arranged holographically, we will not get the parts of which it consists, but we will get the same thing, but smaller in size.

These ideas inspired Bohm to reinterpret Aspect's work. Bohm is sure that elementary particles interact at any distance, not because they exchange mysterious signals with each other, but because separation is an illusion. He explains that at some deeper level of reality, such particles are not separate entities, but are actually extensions of something more fundamental.

To better understand this, Bohm offers the following illustration.

Imagine an aquarium with fish. Imagine also that you cannot see the aquarium directly, but only two television screens that transmit images from cameras located one in front and one on the side of the aquarium. Looking at the screens, you can conclude that the fish on each of the screens are separate objects. But as you keep watching, after a while you will find that there is a relationship between the two fish on different screens.

When one fish changes, the other also changes, a little, but always in accordance with the first; when you see one fish “in front”, the other is certainly “in profile”. If you don't know it's the same aquarium, you'd rather conclude that the fish must communicate with each other instantly than that it's an accident. The same, says Bohm, can be extrapolated to elementary particles in the Aspect experiment.

According to Bohm, the apparent superluminal interaction between particles tells us that there is a deeper level of reality hidden from us, higher dimensional than ours, similar to an aquarium. And, he adds, we see the particles as separate because we only see a part of reality. Particles are not separate "parts" but facets of a deeper unity that is ultimately holographic and invisible, like an object captured on a hologram. And since everything in physical reality is contained in this "phantom", the universe itself is a projection, a hologram.

In addition to being "phantom-like," such a universe could have other amazing properties. If the separation of particles is an illusion, then at a deeper level, all things in the world are infinitely interconnected. The electrons in the carbon atoms in our brains are connected to the electrons in every salmon that swims, every heart that beats, and every star that shines in the sky.

Everything interpenetrates with everything, and although it is natural for human nature to divide everything, to dismember, to put it on the shelves, all natural phenomena, all divisions are artificial and nature, in the end, is an unbreakable web.

In the holographic world, even time and space cannot be taken as a basis. Because such a characteristic as position does not make sense in a universe where nothing is separate from each other; time and three-dimensional space- as images of fish on screens, which should be considered projections.

From this point of view, reality is a super-hologram in which the past, present and future exist simultaneously. This means that with the help of appropriate tools, one can penetrate deep into this super-hologram and see pictures of the distant past.

What else a hologram can carry is still unknown. For example, one can imagine that a hologram is a matrix that gives rise to everything in the world, at least there are any elementary particles that exist or can exist - any form of matter and energy is possible, from a snowflake to a quasar, from blue whale to gamma rays. It's like a universal supermarket, which has everything.

While Bohm admits that we have no way of knowing what else the hologram holds, he takes the liberty of arguing that we have no reason to assume that there is nothing else in it. In other words, perhaps the holographic level of the world is the next stage of endless evolution.

Bohm is not alone in his opinion. An independent neurophysiologist from Stanford University, Karl Pribram, who works in the field of brain research, also tends to the theory of the holographic world. Pribram came to this conclusion by pondering the mystery of where and how memories are stored in the brain. Numerous experiments have shown that information is not stored in any particular area of ​​the brain, but is dispersed throughout the entire volume of the brain. In a series of crucial experiments in the 1920s, Karl Lashley showed that no matter which part of the rat brain he removed, he could not achieve the disappearance conditioned reflexes developed in the rat before surgery. No one has been able to explain the mechanism behind this funny "everything in every part" property of memory.

Later, in the 60s, Pribram encountered the principle of holography and realized that he had found the explanation that neuroscientists were looking for. Pribram believes that memory is not contained in neurons or groups of neurons, but in a series of nerve impulses circulating throughout the brain, just as a piece of a hologram contains an entire image. In other words, Pribram is sure that the brain is a hologram.

Pribram's theory also explains how the human brain can store so many memories in such a small space. It is assumed that the human brain is able to remember about 10 billion bits in a lifetime (which corresponds to about the amount of information contained in 5 sets of the Encyclopædia Britannica).

It was found that another striking feature was added to the properties of holograms - a huge recording density. By simply changing the angle at which the lasers illuminate the film, many different images can be recorded on the same surface. It is shown that one cubic centimeter of film is capable of storing up to 10 billion bits of information.

Our uncanny ability to quickly find the right information from a huge volume becomes more understandable if we accept that the brain works on the principle of a hologram. If a friend asks you what comes to mind when you hear the word zebra, you don't have to go through your entire vocabulary to find the answer. Associations like "striped", "horse" and "lives in Africa" ​​appear in your head instantly.
Indeed, one of the most amazing properties human thinking is that each piece of information is instantly inter-correlated with any other - another property of the hologram. Since every part of the hologram is infinitely interconnected with every other, it is quite possible that the brain is the highest example of cross-correlated systems exhibited by nature.

The location of memory is not the only neurophysiological mystery that has been interpreted in light of Pribram's holographic model of the brain. The other is how the brain is able to translate such an avalanche of frequencies that it perceives various bodies feelings (frequencies of light, sound frequencies, and so on) into our concrete idea of ​​the world. Encoding and decoding frequencies is exactly what a hologram does best. Just as a hologram serves as a kind of lens, a transmission device capable of turning a meaningless set of frequencies into a coherent image, so the brain, according to Pribram, contains such a lens and uses the principles of holography to mathematically process frequencies from the senses into the inner world of our perceptions. .

A lot of evidence suggests that the brain uses the principle of holography to function. Pribram's theory is finding more and more supporters among neuroscientists.

The Argentine-Italian researcher Hugo Zucarelli has recently extended the holographic model to the realm of acoustic phenomena. Perplexed by the fact that people can determine the direction of a sound source without turning their heads, even if only one ear works, Zucarelli found that the principles of holography could explain this ability as well. He also developed holophonic sound recording technology capable of reproducing sound pictures with stunning realism.

Pribram's idea that our brain creates a "hard" reality by relying on input frequencies has also received brilliant experimental support. It has been found that any of our sense organs has a much larger frequency range of receptivity than previously thought. For example, researchers have found that our organs of vision are sensitive to sound frequencies, that our sense of smell is somewhat dependent on what is now called [osmic? ] frequencies, and that even the cells of our body are sensitive to a wide range of frequencies. Such findings suggest that this is the work of the holographic part of our consciousness, which transforms separate chaotic frequencies into continuous perception.

But the most startling aspect of Pribram's holographic brain model comes to light when it is compared to Bohm's theory. If what we see is only a reflection of what is actually “out there” is a set of holographic frequencies, and if the brain is also a hologram and only selects some of the frequencies and mathematically converts them into perceptions, what is actually objective reality ?

Let's just say it doesn't exist. As Eastern religions have been saying for centuries, matter is Maya, an illusion, and although we may think that we are physical and move in the physical world, this is also an illusion. In fact, we are "receivers" floating in a kaleidoscopic sea of ​​frequencies, and everything that we extract from this sea and turn into physical reality is just one source of many extracted from the hologram.

This striking new picture of reality, a synthesis of the views of Bohm and Pribram, has been called the holographic paradigm, and while many scientists have been skeptical about it, others have been encouraged by it. A small but growing group of researchers believe that this is one of the most accurate models of the world yet proposed. Moreover, some hope that it will help solve some mysteries that have not been previously explained by science and even consider paranormal activity as part of nature. Numerous researchers, including Bohm and Pribram, conclude that many parapsychological phenomena become more understandable within the holographic paradigm.

In a universe in which the individual brain is virtually an indivisible part of a larger hologram and infinitely connected to others, telepathy may simply be an achievement at the holographic level. It becomes much easier to understand how information can be delivered from consciousness "A" to consciousness "B" at any distance, and to explain many mysteries of psychology. In particular, Grof envisions that the holographic paradigm will be able to offer a model to explain many of the puzzling phenomena observed by humans during an altered state of consciousness.

In the 1950s, while researching LSD as a psychotherapeutic drug, Grof had a female patient who suddenly became convinced that she was a female prehistoric reptile. During the hallucination, she not only gave a richly detailed description of what it is like to be a creature with such forms, but also noted the colored scales on the head of a male of the same species. Grof was amazed by the fact that in a conversation with a zoologist, the presence of colored scales on the head of reptiles, which plays an important role in mating games, was confirmed, although
the woman previously had no idea about such subtleties.

This woman's experience was not unique. During his research, he encountered patients returning up the ladder of evolution and identifying themselves with the most different types(on their basis, the scene of the transformation of a man into a monkey in the film "Altered States" is built). Moreover, he found that such descriptions often contain zoological details that, when checked, turn out to be accurate.

The return to animals is not the only phenomenon described by Grof. He also had patients who seemed to be able to tap into some sort of area of ​​the collective or racial unconscious. Uneducated or poorly educated people suddenly gave detailed descriptions funerals in Zoroastrian practice or scenes from Hindu mythology. In other experiences, people gave convincing descriptions of out-of-body travel, predictions of pictures of the future, past incarnations.

In more recent research, Grof found that the same set of phenomena also appeared in therapy sessions that did not involve the use of drugs. Since a common element of such experiments was the expansion of consciousness beyond the boundaries of space and time, Grof called such manifestations "transpersonal experience", and in the late 60s thanks to him appeared new branch psychology, called "transpersonal" psychology, devoted entirely to this area.

Although the newly founded association of Transpersonal Psychology was a rapidly growing group of like-minded professionals and became a respected branch of psychology, neither Grof himself nor his colleagues could offer a mechanism to explain the strange psychological phenomena they observed. But that has changed with the advent of the holographic paradigm.

As Grof recently pointed out, if consciousness is in fact part of a continuum, a labyrinth connected not only to every other consciousness that exists or has existed, but to every atom, organism, and vast region of space and time, the fact that tunnels can randomly form in the labyrinth and having a transpersonal experience no longer seems so strange.

The holographic paradigm also leaves its mark on the so-called exact sciences such as biology. Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Intermont College in Virginia, has pointed out that if reality is just a holographic illusion, then one can no longer argue that consciousness is a function of the brain. Rather, on the contrary, consciousness creates the brain, just as we interpret the body and our entire environment as physical.

This reversal of our views of biological structures has allowed researchers to point out that medicine and our understanding of the healing process may also change under the influence of the holographic paradigm. If the physical body is nothing more than a holographic projection of our consciousness, it becomes clear that each of us is more responsible for our health than medical advances allow. What we are now seeing as seeming cures for the disease can in fact be done by a change of consciousness which will bring in the appropriate
adjustments to the body hologram.

Likewise, alternative healing modalities such as visualization may work well because the holographic essence of the mental images is ultimately as real as "reality".

Even revelations and experiences of the beyond become understandable from the point of view of the new paradigm. Biologist Lyall Watson, in his book Gifts of the Unknown, describes an encounter with an Indonesian female shaman who, performing a ritual dance, was able to make an entire grove of trees instantly disappear into the subtle world. Watson writes that while he and another surprised bystander continued to watch her, she caused the trees to disappear and reappear several times in a row.

Modern science is unable to explain such phenomena. But they become quite logical if we assume that our "dense" reality is nothing more than a holographic projection. Perhaps we can formulate the concepts of “here” and “there” more precisely if we define them at the level of the human unconscious, in which all consciousnesses are infinitely closely interconnected.
If so, then this is the most significant implication from the holographic paradigm overall, meaning that the phenomena observed by Watson are not publicly available just because our minds are not programmed to trust them, which would make them so. In the holographic universe, there is no scope for changing the fabric of reality.

What we call reality is just a canvas waiting for us to paint on it whatever picture we want. Everything is possible, from the bending of spoons by willpower, to the phantasmagoric scenes in the spirit of Castaneda in his studies with don Juan, for the magic that we possess from the very beginning, no more and no less apparent than our ability to create any worlds in our fantasies.

Indeed, even most of our "fundamental" knowledge is doubtful, while in the holographic reality that Pribram points out, even random events could be explained and determined using holographic principles. Coincidences and accidents suddenly make sense, and everything can be considered as a metaphor, even a chain of random events expresses some kind of deep symmetry.

The holographic paradigm of Bohm and Pribram, whether it will be further developed or will go into oblivion, one way or another, it can be argued that it has already gained popularity among many scientists. Even if it is found that the holographic model does not adequately describe the instantaneous interaction of elementary particles, at least, as Basil Hiley, a physicist at Byreback College in London, points out, the discovery of Aspect “showed that we must be ready to consider radical new approaches to understanding reality.”

British scientists from Oxford proved the existence of parallel worlds. The head of the scientific team, Hugh Everett, explained this phenomenon in detail, writes MIGnews on Friday.

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity was the result of the creation of the hypothesis of parallel worlds, which ideally explains the nature quantum mechanics. It also explains the existence of parallel worlds even on the example of a broken mug. There are a huge number of outcomes of this event: the mug will fall on the person’s leg and not break as a result, the person will be able to catch the mug in the fall. The number of outcomes, as previously stated by scientists, is unlimited. The theory had no actual background, so it was quickly forgotten. In the course of Everett's mathematical experiment, it was found that, being inside an atom, one cannot say that it really exists. To establish its dimensions, it is necessary to take a position "from the outside": measure two places at the same time. So scientists have established the possibility of the existence of a huge number of parallel worlds.

Parallel world: Will a person be able to live in another dimension?

The term "parallel world" has been familiar for a long time. People have thought about its existence since the beginning of the origin of life on Earth. Belief in other dimensions appeared with man and was passed down from generation to generation in the form of myths, legends and tales. But what are we modern people know about parallel realities? Do they really exist? What is the opinion of scientists on this matter? And what awaits a person if he gets into another dimension?

The opinion of official science

Physicists have long been saying that everything on Earth exists in a certain space and time. Humanity lives in three dimensions. Everything in it can be measured by height, length and width, therefore, within these frameworks, the understanding of the universe is concentrated in our minds. But official, academic science recognizes that there may be other planes that are hidden from our eyes. AT modern science is the term "string theory". It is difficult to understand, but is based on the fact that in the Universe there is not one, but several spaces. They are invisible to humans because they exist in a compressed form. There can be from 6 to 26 such measurements (according to scientists).

In 1931, the American Charles Fort introduced a new concept of "place of teleportation". It is through these sections of space that you can get into one of the parallel worlds. It is from there that the poltergeist, ghosts, UFOs and other supernatural entities come to people. But since these "doors" open in both directions - to our world and one of the parallel realities - then it is possible that people can disappear into one of these dimensions.

New theories about parallel worlds

The official theory of a parallel world appeared in the 50s of the twentieth century. It was invented by mathematician and physicist Hugh Everett. This idea is based on the laws of quantum mechanics and probability theory. The scientist said that the number of possible outcomes of any event is equal to the number of parallel worlds. Such options may be infinite set. Everett's theory has been criticized and discussed in the circles of scientific luminaries for many years. Recently, however, professors from the University of Oxford have been able to logically confirm the existence of realities parallel to our plane. Their discovery is based on the same quantum physics.

The researchers proved that the atom, as the basis of everything, as the building material of any substance, can occupy a different position, that is, appear simultaneously in several places. Like elementary particles, everything can be at several points in space, that is, in two or more worlds.

Real examples of people moving into a parallel plane

In the middle of the 19th century in Connecticut, two officials, Judge Wei and Colonel McArdle, got caught in a thunderstorm and decided to hide from them in a small wooden hut in the forest. When they entered there, the sounds of thunder ceased to be heard, and around the travelers there was deaf silence and pitch darkness. They found a wrought-iron door in the darkness and peered into another room filled with a faint greenish glow. The judge went in and disappeared instantly, and McArdle slammed the heavy door, fell to the floor and lost consciousness. Later, the colonel was found in the middle of the road far from the location mysterious building. Then he came to his senses, told this story, but until the end of his days he was considered crazy.

In 1974, in Washington, one of the employees of the administrative building, Mr. Martin, went outside after work and saw his old car not where he had left it in the morning, but on the opposite side of the street. He approached it, opened it and wanted to go home. But the key suddenly did not fit the ignition. In a panic, the man returned to the building and wanted to call the police. But inside, everything was different: the walls were of a different color, the telephone was gone from the lobby, and there was no office on its floor where Mr. Martin worked. Then the man ran outside and saw his car where he had parked it in the morning. Everything returned to its usual places, because the employee did not report the strange incident that happened to him to the police, and told about it only many years later. Probably on a short time American got into parallel space.

In an ancient castle near Comcrieff in Scotland, two women disappeared on the same day. The owner of the building named McDougley said that strange things happen in it and there are old occult books. In search of something mysterious, two elderly ladies secretly climbed into the house, which the owner left after one night an old portrait fell on him. The women went into the space in the wall, which appeared after the fall of the picture, and disappeared. Rescuers could not find them or traces of tartans. There is a possibility that they opened a portal to another world, went into it and did not return.

Will people be able to live in another dimension?

There are different opinions about whether it is possible to live in one of the parallel worlds. Although there are many cases of people transitioning to other dimensions, none of those who returned after a long stay in another reality made their journey successfully. Some have gone mad, others have died, and still others have suddenly grown old.

The fate of those who passed through the portal and ended up in another dimension forever remained unknown. Psychics constantly say that they are in contact with creatures from other worlds. Proponents of the idea of anomalous phenomena they say that all the missing people are in those planes that exist parallel to ours. Maybe everything will be cleared up if there is a person who can get into one of them and return back, or if the missing suddenly start to appear in our world and accurately describe how they lived in a parallel dimension.

Thus, parallel worlds can be another reality that has remained practically unknown for all the millennia of human existence. Theories about them so far remain only conjectures, ideas, conjectures, which modern scientists have only explained a little. It is likely that the universe has many worlds, but do people need to know about them and get into them, or is it enough for us to simply exist peacefully in our space.

For thousands of years, people have wanted to cross the threshold of mystery and find out what is hidden on the other side of reality. How to get to another world? There is no definitive answer to this question, but turning a blind eye to great amount facts, evidence real people and scientific explanations are simply impossible.

What is a parallel world?

The parallel world, or the fifth dimension, is a space invisible to the human eye that exists along with real life of people. There is no dependence between him and the ordinary world. It is believed that its size can vary greatly: from a pea to the universe. The patterns of events, the rules of physics and other "hard" statements that are valid in the world of people may absolutely not work in an invisible reality. Everything that happens there may have slight deviations from the usual way of life or differ radically.

multiverse

The multiverse is a fiction of science fiction writers. Recent times scientists are increasingly turning to the works of science fiction, because many years of observational experience has shown that they almost always predict the development of events and the future of mankind with amazing accuracy. The concept of the multiverse says that, in addition to the world familiar to earthlings, there are a huge number of unique worlds. Moreover, not all of them are material. The Earth is connected with other invisible realities at the level of spiritual connection.

Conjectures about the existence of parallel worlds

Since antiquity, there have been many speculations about whether the fifth dimension actually exists. It is interesting that the question of how to get to another world was asked by the great minds of the distant past. In the works of Democritus, Epicurus and Metrodorus of Chios one can find similar thoughts. Some even tried to prove the existence of the "other side" by scientific research. Democritus argued that absolute emptiness is fraught with a large number of worlds. Some of them, he says, are very similar to ours, even in the smallest details. Others are completely different from earthly reality. The thinker substantiated his theories based on the basic principle of depreciation - equiprobability. The pundits of the past also talked about the unity of time: past, present, future are at one point. From this it follows that making the transition is not so difficult, the main thing is to understand the mechanism of transition from one point to another.

modern science

Modern science does not at all deny the possibility of the existence of other worlds. This moment is studied in detail, constantly discovering something new. Even the very fact that scientists around the world admit the theory of the multiverse already speaks volumes. Science substantiates this assumption with the help of the provisions of quantum mechanics and Proponents of this theory believe that there are incredibly many possible worlds - up to 10 to the five hundredth degree. There is also an opinion that the number of parallel realities is not limited at all. However, science cannot yet answer the question of how to get into a parallel world. Every year it opens up more and more of the unknown. Perhaps in the near future people will be able to make instantaneous travel between universes.

Esotericists and psychics claim that it is quite possible to get into another world. However, keep in mind that this is not always safe. In order to penetrate the secret world, it is necessary to change the way the brain works. It is advisable to practice the following: lying on the bed, try to sleep, relax the body, but keep the mind conscious. It will be difficult at first to achieve this or a similar consciousness, but it is worth continuing to try.

The main problem for beginners is that it is very difficult to relax the body and be conscious at the same time. In such cases, a person unbearably wants to twitch, move at least a little, or he simply falls asleep. About a month of training - and you can accustom the body to such a practice. After that, you should dive deeper into the new state. Each time there will be new sounds, voices, pictures. Soon it will be possible to move to another reality. The main thing is not to fall asleep, but to be aware that you have crossed the threshold of a parallel world. This method is also possible in another variation. You need to do the same, but immediately after waking up. When you open your eyes, you need to fix the body, but be awake with the mind. Immersion in another world in this case is faster, but many can not stand it and fall asleep again. In addition, you need to wake up only at a certain time - preferably around 4 in the morning, since it is during this period that a person is most subtle.

Another way is meditation. The key difference from the first method is that there is no connection with sleep, and the process itself must take place in a sitting position. The complexity of this approach lies in the need to clear the mind of unnecessary thoughts that constantly visit a person as soon as he tries to concentrate. There are many techniques to subdue unruly thoughts. For example, it is necessary not to interrupt the flow, but to give it freedom, but not to be included in it, but to be just an observer. You can also focus on numbers, a specific point, etc.

The danger that lies in other worlds

The reality of parallel worlds is fraught with a lot of the unknown. But the real threat to face on the other side is malevolent entities. In order to control your fear and avoid trouble, you need to know who and what causes anxiety. Entering a parallel world will be much easier if you know that frightening entities are just creatures of the past. Fears from childhood, movies, books, etc. - all this can be found in a parallel reality. The main thing is to understand that these are only phantoms, and not real beings. As soon as the fear of them disappears, they will disappear on their own. The inhabitants of the unseen worlds are generally friendly or indifferent. They are unlikely to scare or create trouble, but still you should not annoy them. However, there is still a chance to meet an unkind spirit. In this case, it is enough to overcome your fear, because there will still be no harm from the activity of the otherworldly entity. Do not forget that the past, present, future are in contact, so there is always a way out. You can also think about the house, and then the soul is likely to return to the body.

How to get into a parallel world through an elevator

Esotericists claim that the elevator can help in the transition to a parallel world. It serves as a "door" that must be opened. It is best to travel through the elevator at night or in dark time days. You must be alone in the cabin. It is worth noting that if any person enters the elevator during the ritual, then nothing will succeed. After entering the cabin, you should move through the floors in the following order: 4-2-6-2-1. Then you should go to the 10th floor and go down to 5. A woman will enter the booth, you can’t talk to her. You should press the button for the 1st floor, but the elevator will go to the 10th. You cannot press any other buttons, as the ritual will be interrupted. How do you know the transition has taken place? In a parallel reality, there will be only you. It should be noted that it is not worth looking for a companion - the guide was not a person. In order to get into the human world, it is necessary to complete the ritual with the elevator (floors, buttons) in reverse order.

Gateway to another reality

You can penetrate into another reality with the help of a mirror, because it is a mystical gate to all other worlds. It is used by sorcerers and magicians who own necessary knowledge. The transition through the mirror always succeeds. In addition, with its help you can not only travel to other universes, but also conjure. That is why to this day the customs of hanging mirrors after the death of a person are preserved. This is done for a reason, because the soul of the deceased wanders around his house during the course. Thus the astral body says goodbye to past life. The soul itself is unlikely to want to harm its relatives, but at such moments a portal opens through which various entities can enter the room. They can frighten or try to drag the astral body of a living person into a parallel reality.

There are several rituals with mirrors. To answer the question of how people get into parallel worlds, it is necessary to understand the essence of the mirror ritual, because it is this object that is the original guide to another world.

Mirror and candles

This is an old method that is still used today. It is necessary to put two mirrors opposite each other. They must be parallel. A candle must be bought in advance at the temple. Place it between the mirrors so that you get a corridor of many candles. Do not be afraid if the flame starts to sway, this may well be. This means that the invisible entities are already with you. For this ritual, you can use not only candles. LEDs or colored panels will do. But it is best to use candles, since their blinking corresponds to the frequency of the human brain. This helps a person enter a meditative state. And it is necessary to enter it, because, being conscious, you can be very frightened. The consequence can be not only an interrupted ritual, but also the attachment of another entity to you. It is necessary to carry out the ritual in complete darkness and silence. Only one person should be in the room.

Mirror and prayer

It is necessary to buy a round-shaped mirror on Saturday. Its perimeter should be inscribed with the words "Our Father" on the contrary, written in red ink. On Thursday night, you need to put a mirror under the pillow, with the mirror side up. Turn off the lights, go to bed and say your name backwards. This must be done until sleep overtakes. A person wakes up in another world. In order to get out of another reality, you need to find an animal in it that will be exactly the same as in real life, and follow it. The danger of the whole action is that the conductor may never be found, and the astral body will forever remain in a parallel world or, even worse, between worlds.

Path to the past

For many years and even centuries, people have wanted to know the answer to the question of how to get into the past. There are two known ways that can move a person in time. The most famous is " wormholes” - small tunnels in space that serve as a link between the past and the present. But... Scientific research show that the “hole” will close faster than a person has time to cross its threshold. Based on this, it can be argued that if scientists find a way to delay the opening of the tunnel, they will become justified not only from an esoteric, but also from a scientific position.

The second way is to visit places on Earth that have a certain energy. Such trips have a huge amount of real evidence. Moreover, sometimes people do not even know how to get into the past, but they find themselves there by chance, having visited an energetically strong place on Earth. A territory with a pronounced supernatural energy is called a "place of power." It has been scientifically verified that the operation of any installations there deteriorates or even fails. And those indicators that can be measured go off scale.

Working with the subconscious

Another way is to work with the subconscious mind. How to get into a parallel world with the help of the brain? Quite difficult, but doable. To do this, you need to enter a state of strong relaxation, create a gate and go through the portal. Sounds simple, but to achieve results. several factors are necessary: ​​a great desire, mastery of meditation techniques, the ability to visualize space in detail and ... the absence of fear. Many say that when they achieve a result, they often lose touch with the other world from fear. It takes a certain time to overcome it, so you should be ready to find yourself in another reality at any moment.

Who is writing this? Who is reading? This is the greatest paradox because objective reality does not exist. I have clear evidence for this that any sane person can understand. Before that, I had already written two articles about, but there it was about the existence of reality as a projection of human consciousness. Here I will try to prove that neither man, nor reality, nor anything at all can exist.

Time movement

As good example Let's take such a state of an object as motion. The object itself would do, but considering the motion of the object in space and time makes the proof easier to understand.

Now, I say that there is no movement. Movement, or, to be more precise, the statement of movement, is a paradox and the greatest illusion. Why? I'll explain now.

This moment

If you are not sleeping too soundly, then you should understand at least at the level of the logical mind that in life there is only the present moment. The past and the future, whatever they may be, exist in the present. If you don't believe me, try to look for the past and the future right now. I am not kidding! Look. Well, are there any successes? Where is the past? And where is the future?

Time exists in a continuous now. Everything that can exist is now. There is no existence in the past and future. The past and the future either exist now, or they do not exist at all. .

If you are not sleeping too soundly, then you should understand at least at the level of logic that the past and the future are concepts, just thoughts. Memories exist in the present even though they tell you that the past is real. In fact, there is no past. Past and future exist only as information endowed with thought. Thought itself paradoxically "exists" only in the present. Always in the present! Everything in this life exists only in the present!

So, if you still don’t understand, try to add these two components - “movement” and “real”. What happens? Is movement possible in the present? What is the answer?

Impossible!

Why? Yes, because the movement implies a certain period of time. Movement is possible only when there is time, when there is a past in which the movement began, a present in which it “occurs” and a future in which it ends. If the past and the future do not exist, it is obvious that there is no beginning and end of the movement. Movement is possible only in some. The moment "now" has no duration in time. In the present, time does not exist! In the present time interval is infinitely small. The present is one static frame from the film of life. In the present, in the total present, only emptiness is possible. This is what is experienced at the level of nirvana, when the consciousness clears up and what is is revealed.

There is no movement, said the bearded sage.
The other was silent and began to walk before him ...
A.S. Pushkin

What I am writing about here is not just a theory, or a clever philosophy. All this is verified experimentally. Why are there words? Why are there people? Why is life felt very concretely in all its variety of mobile forms? The whole point is that life is multifaceted. Dimensions are not limited to the three planes, understanding is not limited to the mind, experiences are not limited to the body. There is such a level of knowledge, touching which all theories seem like dust fluttering randomly in the air.
