Heres what Wikipedia says about Multiverses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse

Anyway go wild with you're theories, discussions an topics and if you have already seen my post about http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1471646-the-grandfather-paradox/ an couldnt answer then dont let my set rules for that post stop you.

There's only one multiverse, isn't there? :confused:

The Many Worlds theory is obviously not verified, but neither can it be disproven. I'd like to think that it exists, though that would be way out of our scope of understanding.

One theory that I like to think is true, is that our imagination can be a reality in another universe. Like, everyone has their own idea of a perfect world, and maybe it could exist, just not in this universe. Gives a whole new twist on how our universe was created, but I won't go into that. :D

Personally, I don't think they exist and certainly not in the classical way of each roll of the dice means six new universes.

The consequences of quantum mechanics are not supposed to be superimposed unto the macroscopic world, they describe the tiniest scales only.

This is what Schrodinger meant when he came up with his cat in a box thought experiment, he meant to show that to apply these things to the macroscopic leads to very silly things indeed.

Unfortunately decades of less imaginitive and literal-minded people have took it to be, well, literal, and they keep insisting that what Schrodinger meant is that the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. It is not, what Schrodinger meant to illustrate was that micro scale chaotic quantum events cancel each other out on the macroscopic scale, giving the appearance of a smooth and singular reality.

Similarly one can expect many of these possible microscopic changes of reality to cancel each other out, leaving only one dominant apparent meta reality, which is the median of all that is possible.

I'd like to think of a multiverse as a tree where you start of as a sapling an as you grow you come to t sections do you go right with one decision or left with another an so on until your a full grown tree with multiple branches an choices made for or against.

Such as would my life be any better if i did or said the opposite of everything i've ever said growing up or maybe their is a verse where that has happened an maybe one where i stayed in hull, or have already moved to america.

The possibilities are endless and none existent at the same time.

Thats my opinion.

Personally, my simple mind would never accept the possibility of multiple realities, or time travel.

Nothing in physics prohibits time travel and we can see the effects of relativistic time (different places having a slightly faster or slower passage of time) on Earth.

Early GPS systems had to be recalibrated because sattelites are relatively high up, so the path they have to make to complete one rotation of the Earth is longer than it is for any human. Therefore time goes fractionally slower for a sattelite. This means that two exactly the same clocks give slightly differing durations for a single day, thus directions which relied on relative postions versus a target would be fractionally off.

If speed and distance were increased this would result in the famous twin paradox (also not a paradox) where someone travelling at very high speed to another star and back would on return be years younger than his identical twin.

So how does this factor into quantum computing? Because they explained it with the parallel universe stuff in layman's terms.

I like to think that if the Multiverse exists that anything that can be imagined must exists within it. If the Multiverse is infinite, then all things MUST exist.

Want to go to Tamriel anyone?

I'm not sure how to answer this, could you elaborate?
