String Theory: Alternate Universes?
Recently, I've been reading about string theory. For those unfamiliar with this, here's a brief overview:
String theory is a work in progress, so trying to pin down exactly what the science is, or what its fundamental elements are, can be kind of tricky. The key string theory features include:
To me, the most exciting thing about this is the alternate Universes thing. I had read many years ago a theory that went something like "anything anyone ever created exists in another universe." So the Star Trek and Star Wars universes exist.... somewhere or even somewhen. The Discworld, Dune, Perth, Gormenghast, Lilliput, Wonderland.... anything ever to spring from the fertile imagination of, well, anyone, exists. And all the choices we make, every decision, every moment of truth creates a new universe for us. That is both wonderful and frightening, to me. That the Star Wars Universe may actually exist, that's pretty cool. To think that in another Universe I'm married to an old boyfriend...um... well, that is scary. ![]() What do you think of this? Is there another Universe you'd like to visit? One you'd rather not think about? ... in a world where I feel so small I can't stop thinking big! |
