Physicists suggest that our doppelgangers could live in parallel universes. The possibilities are almost endless.
Cambridge, Massachusetts – We humans find the idea of being unique to be beautiful – it kind of flatters the ego. Statistically, however, each of us has one or more doppelgangers in this world. Granted, a somewhat uncomfortable thought. It gets even more scary if you take a closer look at the considerations of some physicists. Because: You suspect that there are even more doubles of us – in parallel universes.
Followers of the string theory assume that the world consists of several dimensions – but at least nine and one additional time dimension. Six of these nine spatial dimensions are crumpled up, as reported by vice.com. These crumpled dimensions can affect which particles exist in the universe. According to theory, the possibilities of what form they take are almost infinite.
Accordingly, an immeasurable number of different universes could exist in parallel. As futurezone.de reports, they would not be comparable to our dimension as we know them – for example, completely different laws of nature could apply in them. Our universe would theoretically only be a tiny fraction of a total of parallel universes – a so-called multiverse.
Doppelganger: Galaxy should be 10 to the 1025 kilometers away
If you follow this theory, our doppelgangers could also exist simultaneously with us somewhere out there and experience things that would be unthinkable in our universe. In the fictitious thought experiment, the scientists assume that all imaginable universes are possible in a physically and mathematically logical framework – and thus also the most unusual forms of life.
Under certain circumstances, we therefore have several versions with different lives in several different parallel universes. According to focus.de, Max Tegmark from MIT calculated that, statistically speaking, such a doppelganger would have to live in a galaxy that is about 10 to the power of 1,025 kilometers away from us. So far, however, these have only been theories that have not yet been proven. * FNP is an offer from IPPEN.Media.
