Multiverse - an interesting story - 09/17/07 13:02
Hi,
as most of you may know: There's a theory (it's origins in the quantum-theory) that's called "multiverse". It's saying that, if every tiny bit in the universe exists not in one place, but in all possible places at once (as is proven), there may be a "multiverse", which means that every possible thing that CAN happen DOES happen. Thus, in this process, creating a really really big amount of parallel universes, the multiverse.
Well - this theory always seemed possible to me, but as I cannot prove it whatsoever, I never really was sure about it (how could I? How could anyone?)
Last weekend however, I met a guy and he had this story to tell: He had a car accident, crashed into a tree and was in a vegetative state for about 6 months then. He was in a hospital for these 6 months, drooling, with his eyes open but seeing nothing.
He himself however did know nothing of this car accident. He just "lived on" with his life, for the full six months: He went to work, he had sex with his girlfriend, he lived a fully normal life. As if he never had this accident. And then, one day, after about 6 months, he suddenly woke up inside a hospital bed.
He said he really remembers this life he had for these six months. He said it felt "real", not like a dream. And all things that happened seemed to be real, too. There was nothing as you may have it in dreams, extraordinary happenings or so. Just plain normal life. For him, that is. Everyone in "our" universe only saw a drooling young man in a hospital bed.
So what *MAY* be concluded from this is: His mind/consciousness went into a parallel dimension for these 6 months. He really "lived" there, but wasn't even aware that this wasn't our world.
That means ... well, possibly his counsciousness slipped into a parallel-universe strikingly similar to ours - with the small difference that he didn't drive his car into that tree there. This universe (and a heap of slightly changed ones) may exist.
I know this sounds crazy. But it's the most logic explanation for me. Why else does he still have vivid memories of six whole months?
