One of the popular topics in amateur science in recent years has been the concept of Alternate Realities. People got scared when scientists proposed the theory of multiple dimensions. That pales in comparison to the concept of an unlimited number of Alternate Realities or Parallel Universes. They can give you complicated calculations to prove their concept, but I prefer to think of it this way… only to find it there a short time later? Did your friends, family, or co-workers swear that they saw you and even talked to you somewhere you weren’t around at the time? These are examples of how some posit that Alternate Realities intersect and impact our lives.

In ancient times, people said that if you were not a forgetful person and found things missing in the house, you might be sharing your abode with mischievous fairies. If people saw you somewhere you weren’t around, they might say you have a doppelgänger. Scientists despise using the paranormal or supernatural to explain anything, so it makes sense that they would offer the idea of ​​Alternate Realities as a more scientific and realistic explanation. His concept says that we can exist in many Realities at the same time. They assure that sometimes realities intersect and intermingle.

The interesting thing about his hypothesis is that you could be different in each reality, or exist in our reality and not in others. They point to cases such as that of a person who landed on a commercial flight from Europe in the 1950s. He had a passport, driver’s license and other documents from a country that does not exist in our reality. YouTube is full of videos of cars or people coming out of nowhere. With the number of cameras everywhere these days, it’s no surprise that any strange or unusual event can be captured on video. Ultimate conspiracy lovers say that we all live in a Matrix type situation and call such incidents failures in the Matrix. I think I like the Alternate Realities explanation better.

The Twilight Zone TV show featured an episode about a World War I pilot who landed at a modern airport. It was based on a true event when a British airman saw an airfield as it would later look like. There was also an episode related to a commercial flight that landed without passengers or crew on board. An investigator arrived to investigate it. The aircraft and the researcher disappeared, leaving only one person who remembered the event. Over the years there have been stories of “ghost planes” landing with no one on board and others landing years after taking off.

Supporters of the Alternate Reality theory are meddling with our point of the “Mandela Effect”. It is named after the former prisoner and most recently the President of South Africa. Some people are sure they remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s. Others aren’t sure. Then there are the movies. People use iconic phrases like “I’m walking here” that were once “I’m crossing here.” I have had my own experience with this. I distinctly remember an elderly couple who lived a few houses away and across our street. No one else remembers them, not even my immediate family. I suppose I could explain some UFO sightings, ghost activity, and other seemingly paranormal occurrences by using Alternate Reality theory to explain them. I’m not convinced of that right now.

Now astronomers have chimed in with what they say is proof that we’re living in a Multiverse instead of just a Universe. The Multiverse theory considers that an infinite number of Universes exist side by side in parallel. That includes bears. They believe that these can be as different as they are the same. OK, now I have a headache! Astronomers say the discovery of a massive supervacuum cold spot supports the theory of parallel universes, which is supported by several scientific heavyweights including the late Dr. Stephen Hawking. They saw that the cold spot should not exist as it does because it does not fit any of the existing models that help explain our reality. My headache got worse. In the end, I guess we have to wait until we’re walking down a street one day and meet ourselves.
