Scientists predict infinite worlds

Like a quote states that either we live alone or not, the news is equally terrifying. The recent breakthrough in quantum mechanics suggested to humanity that there are many universes around us. Some of us coined them as alien, but could it be we were mistaken to interpret the data? Well, it does not matter anymore because the calculation is correct.

The world is interpreted by quantum methods

Living alone in the planet Earth has shown us about human’s existing. As we knew that in this solar system, the planet Earth is the only planet which can support the life existence. But in the reality perspectives, the supporting aspects are something that can be interpreted as physical. It means that reality or actuality is the reliable evidence in classifying something into “life existence”.

Intriguingly speaking, the “life existence” is not only to be translated as reality. In 2014, scientists have employed the quantum mechanics in predicting another world(s) – could be underworlds or above worlds --, because we still live in three-dimensional universes (de Ronde, et al., 2014). By using mathematical calculations, they predicted there are possibility of worlds in the classical and quantum formalism.

Predicting universes using quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics was established around 1900s when Planck stated that the sunlight is in discontinue state. It was not the same understanding like people understood at that time, therefore Planck suggested the quantum. As we know that quantum cannot be seen by “naked eyes”, some of the scientists at that time did not believe yet as the system may be changed. But, the quantum world has opened our perspective about there are discontinued events. This process led to new understanding that something cannot be seen by the eyes does not mean it does not exist.

So, how the formulation of world? It has to be physical? The world interpretation based on mathematical formula depicts numbers of universes based on time. One of the interpretations method, Copenhagen interpretation, suggested that the term of “world” also occurs in the smallest level of matter which means the quantum does not comprise merely particle and wave. With the Heisenberg principle of uncertainty, we can say that either we choose the states or not, neither we intended or not. It means, when choosing the state there is time segregation.

Theoretically speaking, the timeline during the deciding of the states is separated into several numbers which cannot be counted precisely. This infinite numbers of time imply infinite worlds as one of the properties of world is time.
