Our world is not the only one: the theory of parallel universes. Do parallel universes exist? Ten facts behind Scientific theories about parallel worlds

There is a theory according to which there are many universes where we live a completely different life: each of our actions is associated with a certain choice and, making this choice in our Universe, in a parallel one, the “other me” makes the opposite decision. How justified is such a theory from a scientific point of view? Why did scientists resort to it? Let's try to figure it out in our article.

Many Worlds Concept of the Universe
The theory of a probable set of worlds was first mentioned by the American physicist Hugh Everett. He offered his solution to one of the main quantum mysteries of physics. Before moving directly to Hugh Everett’s theory, it is necessary to understand what this mystery of quantum particles is, which has haunted physicists around the world for decades.

Let's imagine an ordinary electron. It turns out that as a quantum object it can be in two places at the same time. This property of it is called the superposition of two states. But the magic doesn't end there. As soon as we want to somehow specify the location of the electron, for example, we try to knock it down with another electron, then from quantum it will become ordinary. How is this possible: the electron was at both point A and point B and suddenly at a certain moment jumped to B?

Hugh Everett offered his interpretation of this quantum mystery. According to his many-worlds theory, the electron continues to exist in two states simultaneously. It's all about the observer himself: now he turns into a quantum object and is divided into two states. In one of them he sees an electron at point A, in the other - at B. There are two parallel realities, and in which of them the observer will find himself is unknown. The division into realities is not limited to the number two: their branching depends only on the variation of events. However, all these realities exist independently of each other. We, as observers, find ourselves in one, from which it is impossible to leave, as well as to move to a parallel one.


From the point of view of this concept, the experiment with the most scientific cat in the history of physics, Schrödinger’s cat, is easily explained. According to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, the poor cat in the steel chamber is both alive and dead. When we open this chamber, it is as if we merge with the cat and form two states - alive and dead, which do not intersect. Two different universes are formed: in one, an observer with a dead cat, in the other, with a living one.
It is worth immediately noting that the many-worlds concept does not imply the presence of many universes: it is one, simply multi-layered, and each object in it can be in different states. Such a concept cannot be considered an experimentally confirmed theory. For now, this is just a mathematical description of the quantum mystery.

Hugh Everett's theory is supported by physicist and professor at Australia's Griffith University Howard Wiseman, Dr Michael Hall from the Griffith University Center for Quantum Dynamics and Dr Dirk-Andre Deckert from the University of California. In their opinion, parallel worlds really exist and are endowed with different characteristics. Any quantum mysteries and patterns are a consequence of the “repulsion” of neighboring worlds from each other. These quantum phenomena arise so that each world is different from the other.

As with the many-worlds concept, string theory is quite difficult to prove experimentally. In addition, the mathematical apparatus of the theory is so difficult that for each new idea a mathematical explanation must be sought literally from scratch.

Mathematical Universe Hypothesis
Cosmologist and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Max Tegmark put forward his “theory of everything” in 1998 and called it the hypothesis of a mathematical universe. He solved the problem of the existence of a large number of physical laws in his own way. In his opinion, each set of these laws, which are consistent from the point of view of mathematics, corresponds to an independent universe. The universality of the theory is that it can be used to explain all the variety of physical laws and the values ​​of physical constants.

Tegmark proposed that all worlds, according to his concept, be divided into four groups. The first includes worlds located beyond our cosmic horizon, the so-called extra-metagalactic objects. The second group includes worlds with other physical constants, different from those of our Universe. The third is worlds that appear as a result of the interpretation of the laws of quantum mechanics. The fourth group is a certain set of all universes in which certain mathematical structures appear.

As the researcher notes, our Universe is not the only one, since space is limitless. Our world, where we live, is limited by space, the light from which reached us 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang. We will be able to reliably learn about other universes in at least another billion years, until the light from them reaches us.

Stephen Hawking: black holes are a path to another universe
Stephen Hawking is also a proponent of the many universes theory. One of the most famous scientists of our time first presented his essay “Black Holes and Young Universes” in 1988. The researcher suggests that black holes are a path to alternative worlds.
Thanks to Stephen Hawking, we know that black holes tend to lose energy and evaporate, releasing Hawking radiation, which is named after the researcher himself. Before the great scientist made this discovery, the scientific community believed that everything that somehow fell into a black hole disappeared. Hawking's theory refutes this assumption. According to the physicist, hypothetically, any thing, object, object that falls into a black hole flies out of it and ends up in another universe. However, such a journey is a one-way movement: there is no way to return.

All of this suggests that going through a black hole is unlikely to be a popular or reliable method of space travel. First, you have to get there by moving through imaginary time and not caring that your real-time story ended sadly. Secondly, you wouldn't actually be able to choose your destination. It's like flying on some airline you got into your head
– writes the researcher.

Parallel universes and Occam's razor
As we can see, it remains impossible to prove the theory of multiple universes with complete confidence. Opponents of the theory believe that we have no right to talk about an infinite number of universes, if only because we cannot explain the postulates of quantum mechanics. This approach goes against the philosophical principle of William of Occam: “We should not multiply things without necessity.” Proponents of the theory say: it is much easier to assume the existence of many universes than the existence of one ideal one.

Whose argumentation (supporters or opponents of the multiverse theory) is more convincing is up to you to decide. Who knows, maybe you will be the one to solve the quantum riddle of physics and propose a new universal “theory of everything.”

And if you are concerned about the structure of our Universe and are attracted by the mysteries of physics, we recommend reading our article about the computer simulation hypothesis.

In 2015, astrophysicist Ranga-Ram Chari made a statement that he had obtained interesting data. They may indicate the existence of others. His work was based on an analysis of a map of the cosmic background radiation (CMB) created at the planetary space observatory. It belongs to the European Space Agency. What Chari discovered was a mysterious glowing spot. It could be a “bruise” caused by a collision between our Universe and its alternative.

Most scientists dismiss this idea as "science fiction." But some of them believe that our Universe consists of 7, 11 or more dimensions. And they admit the existence of countless parallel worlds.

Do parallel universes exist?

Some scientists argue that there can be an infinite number of parallel universes. If this is true, then are each of them individual, or are they a mirror image of our Universe? Does someone else exist, or maybe there are thousands of copies of the same person? What are these people like? Are they having fun? Are they rich? Or are they beautiful? And maybe they have money that they can lend me?

Perhaps in some Universes you and I do not exist. Perhaps in one parallel universe, dinosaurs never went extinct. In another, perhaps Hitler won the war. In others, Nixon was never elected president. And NASA was allowed to go ahead with its plans for a base on the Moon and colonization.

Alternate realities

may also cover time. Time and the speed of light slow down in one world and speed up in another. Or, for example, in other worlds time runs backwards. And all the endless futures are already taken. One reality is “you” in the future. And the other “you” is in minutes, or days, weeks, months, years in the future, living your life, which is still ahead for you.

Scientists who study such things theorize that a copy of you may live the same life as you. Or completely different. Anyone reading this article may be a nuclear physicist. But in another reality he could become a pianist. What factor or factors are responsible for such changes or, conversely, similarities? If the other you has all the same perceptions, experiences and skills as the real you, then it seems logical that the other you would do the same. Any divergence will rely on small changes in the physical body, perception or experience of that twin.

The possibilities here are endless. One Universe may be the size of an atom, another may be in orbit around an atom or molecule. It can accommodate hundreds, thousands, millions, billions of subatomic galaxies with the same properties. Moreover, our own Universe is relatively atomic design an infinitely large superstructure.

Bubble universes and quantum foam

Quantum theory predicts that, at the subatomic level, the cosmos is a frenzy of subatomic activity involving particles and waves. And what we recognize as reality are just blemishes on the face of this quantum continuum.

Quantum mechanics suggests that in the world of subatomic particles, all probabilities occur in different places at the same time. Want to be in two places at once? Quantum mechanics says it's possible.

Start existence can be imagined as the seething boiling of a potential universal bubble that appears in the quantum foam of the continuum. When Quantum Appears bubble, it can grow and expand, becoming an expanding stellar universe. Perhaps an infinite number of expanding bubble universes could emerge from the sea of ​​quantum foam.

The Universal Bubble Theory is based on the concept cosmic inflation, proposed by Alan Guth, Alexander Vilenkin and others. The universe we live in is just one bubble among countless bubbles rising from the quantum foam that is the basis for everything that exists.

In the vast sea of ​​quantum space, there may be countless bubbles. But not all of them will exist according to the same rules and under the same physics that governs our world.

11 dimensions

Some of these worlds may be four-dimensional, like ours. While others can fold into seven, eleven or more dimensions. In one bubble universe, you can fly in all directions without restrictions. Whereas in our physics the laws of Newton and Einstein describe such restrictions.

Bubble universes that are close to each other can even stick together. At least temporarily, creating holes and cracks in the outer membrane. If they come together, then perhaps some of the physical materials from one bubble can be transferred to the other. Now you know where the strange material growing inside the refrigerator came from. He's from another dimension.

Scientists Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok suggest that there was no Big Bang. Rather, we arose in an endless cycle of cosmic collisions. Possibly associated with alternating bubble Universes. This explains the discovery of researcher Ranga-Rama Chari in 2015 - our Universe could collide with another Universe. Whether this collision was mild is unknown. But based on an analysis of the cosmic background, he discovered mysterious luminous spots. They may be a “bruise” resulting from a collision with a parallel Universe.

Everett's Many Worlds

As theoretical physicist Hugh Everett argued, the universal wave function is “a fundamental entity governed at all times by a deterministic wave equation” (Everett, 1956). Thus the wave function is real and independent of the observer or other mental postulates (Everett 1957), although it is still subject to quantum entanglement.

In Everett's formulation, the measuring device (MA) and the object systems (OS) form a composite system. Until the moment of measurement, it exists in well-defined (but time-dependent) states. The measurement is considered to be the cause of the interaction between MA and OS. Once the OS interacts with the MA, it is no longer possible to describe any system as an independent state. According to Everett (1956, 1957), the only meaningful descriptions of any system are relative states. For example, the relative state of OS given the state of MA or the relative state of MA given the state of OS. As Hugh Everett argued, what the observer sees and the current state of the object are connected by the very act of measurement or observation; they are confused.

However, Everett reasoned that since the wave function appeared to have changed at the time it was observed, then there was no need to actually assume that it had changed. According to Everett, the collapse of the wave function is redundant. Thus, there is no need to include wavefunction collapse in quantum mechanics. And he removed it from his theory, keeping the wave function, which includes the probability wave.

According to Everett (1956), the collapsed state of an object and its associated observer who observed the same outcome were correlated by the act of measurement or observation. That is, what the observer perceives and the state of the object becomes entangled.

However, instead of the collapse of the wave function, the choice is made from a variety of possible options. So among all the possible probable outcomes, the outcome becomes a reality.

There is a world for everyone

Everett argued that the experimental apparatus should be viewed quantum mechanically. Combined with the wave function and the probable nature of reality, this led to the “many worlds” interpretation (Dewitt, 1971). The object of measurement and the measuring apparatus/observer are in two different states, that is, in different “worlds”.

When a measurement (observation) is made, the world unfolds into a separate world for each possible outcome depending on their probability. All probable outcomes exist regardless of how likely or unlikely it is. And each result represents a separate “world”. In each world, the measuring apparatus indicates which outcome is obtained and which probable world becomes reality for that observer (Dewitt, 1971; Everett, 1956, 1957).

Therefore, predictions are based on calculations of the probability that an observer will find himself in a particular world. Once an observer enters another world, he is unaware of other worlds that exist in parallel. Moreover, if he changes worlds, he will no longer know that another world exists (Everett, 1956, 1957): all observations become consistent and even include the memory of a past existence in another world.

Interpretation of "many worlds"

(formulated by Bryce Devitt and Hugh Everett), rejects wave function collapse. Instead, it embraces the universal wave function. It represents a common objective reality consisting of all possible futures. All of them are real, and exist as alternate realities in several Universes. What separates these multiple worlds is quantum decoherence.

The present, future and past are seen as having several branches. Like an infinite number of roads leading to endless outcomes. Thus, the world is both deterministic and indeterministic (this is represented by chaos or random radioactive decay). And there are countless possibilities for the future and the past.

As described by Brice Dewitt (1973; Dewitt, 1971): “This reality, jointly described by the dynamic variables and the state vector, is not the reality we usually think of. It is a reality consisting of many worlds. Due to the temporal development of dynamic variables, the state vector naturally breaks up into orthogonal vectors, reflecting the continuous splitting of the Universe into many mutually unobservable, but equally real worlds, in each of which each measurement gave a certain result, and in most of them the known statistical quantum laws are observed." .

Devitt talks about a many-worlds interpretation of Everett's work. He argues that there can be a split in the unified observer-object system. This is a divisive observation. And each split corresponds to different or multiple possible observational outcomes. Each split is a separate branch or path. "World" refers to one branch and includes the complete history of the observer's measurements relative to that single branch which is the world unto itself. However, each observation and interaction can cause a split or branch in such a way that the combined observer-object wave function changes into two or more non-interacting branches, which can split into many "worlds", depending on which ones are more likely. The splitting of worlds can continue indefinitely.

Since there are countless observable events,

constantly occurring, there are a huge number of simultaneously existing states or worlds. All of them exist in parallel, but which can get confused. And this means that they cannot be independent of each other and relate to each other. This concept is fundamental to the concept of quantum computing.

Likewise, in Everett's formulation these branches are not completely separate. They are subject to quantum interference and entanglement. So they can merge rather than separate from each other, thereby creating one reality. But if they split, multiple worlds are created. This leads to the question: what if there is something that separates Are these universes apart? Could it be dark matter?

Multiplayer mathematics

“Mathematics is a tool with which you can describe any event in such a way that it is completely independent of human perception. I truly believe that there is a universe that can exist independently of me. And it will continue to exist even if there were no people at all,” says Max Tegmark, a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

It is argued that the theory of mathematical multiverse is the most objective perspective on multiple universes. Proponents of mathematical universes argue that mathematics is not a symbol of physical reality. It only summarizes the existing reality. Numbers are not a separate language that describes real physical things. Numbers are the thing.

The mathematical universe is based on two factors. First, the physical world is a mathematical structure. Second, all mathematical structures exist somewhere else. You and I and the cat are symbols of a mathematical structure. Mathematical multiversion requires us to abandon the idea of ​​subjective reality. Reality is not based on our perception of it, and we do not “create our own reality”—at least according to this view. There is a reality independent of our perception. And the way we perceive and convey this reality is just a shallow human approximation of the ultimate mathematical truth.

From this theory we get the conclusion that our Universe is simply a computer simulator.

Could parallel worlds be responsible for the “lost” mass of our Universe?

Much of the matter in our universe appears to have gone missing. Cosmologists and astrophysicists cannot find it. For example, based on data collected by the European Space Agency's Planck spacecraft, it was stated that we only see 4.9% of the Universe. Another 68.3% is made up of dark forces and pure energy, and the remaining 26.8% is reserved for dark matter. Even an ultra-precise 15-month survey of space by the European Space Agency's Planck spacecraft could only detect less than 5% of the total. So where is all this mass?

Perhaps the missing substance is safely stored in a parallel Universe...

Scientists have announced evidence of the existence of parallel universes


    The universe was born in infinity. Despite the fact that in our universe there is a huge amount of matter and variants of its interaction, the number of its constituent particles is finite. And yet scientists believe that there may be other particles from other universes that are simply invisible to the speed-limited universe.



    Our finite Universe has a number of infinite worlds. This conclusion comes from the fact that the Big Bang was not the beginning of existence, but only a process of transformation due to the accumulation of the space-time relationship. This means that an infinite number of finite universes were formed.



    There are other finite worlds around the universe known to man. If at first everything was absolutely the same in all the formed worlds, then quantum uncertainty came into play and an infinite number of options for change and development appeared.




Scientists prove the existence of parallel worlds.


  • “Parallel universes exist”: The theory states that many variations of Us live in alternative worlds that interact with each other.

  • Researchers claim that Parallel Worlds constantly influence each other.

  • This happens because, instead of collapse, in which quantum particles “choose” whether to occupy one state or another, they actually occupy both states simultaneously.

  • The theory may solve some of the puzzles in quantum mechanics.

  • The theory suggests that some worlds are almost identical to ours, but most of them are different.

  • The theory may one day allow us to penetrate these worlds.

According to a controversial theory proposed in 1997 by theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena, the universe is a hologram and everything you see—including this article and the device you're reading it on—is simply a projection.
So far this amazing theory has not been tested, but recent mathematical models show that the stunning principle may be true.
According to the theory, gravity in the universe comes from thin, vibrating strings.

These strings are holograms of events that occur in a simpler, flatter cosmos.

Professor Maldacena's model suggests that the universe exists simultaneously in nine dimensions of space.

In December, Japanese researchers tried to solve this problem by providing mathematical evidence that the holographic principle may be correct.
The holographic principle suggests that, like a security chip on a credit card, for example, there is a two-dimensional surface that contains all the information needed to describe a three-dimensional object - which in this case is our Universe.
Essentially, the principle states that data containing a description of a volume of space—for example, a person or a comet—may be hidden in the region of this flattened, “real” version of the universe.

For example, in a black hole, all objects that ever fall into it will be entirely preserved in the vibrations of the surface. This means that objects will be stored almost as a "memory" or piece of data, but not as an existing real object.
Like Everett, Professor Wiseman and his colleagues propose that the Universe in which we exist is only one of a gigantic number of worlds.
They believe these worlds are almost identical to ours, while most of them are completely different.
All these worlds are equally real, existing continuously in time, and have precisely defined properties.

They suggest that quantum phenomena arise from a universal repulsive force between 'neighboring' worlds, making them even more different.
Dr Michael Hall from the Griffith Center for Quantum Dynamics added that the Many Interacting Worlds Theory could even create a unique opportunity to experiment and search for these worlds.
“The beauty of our approach is that if there is only one world, our theory reduces to Newtonian mechanics, and if there is a gigantic number of worlds it reproduces quantum mechanics,” he says.

Physicists from the USA and Australia tried to explain the observed quantum effects by the interaction of parallel worlds and proposed in their article for the journal Physical Review X a theory where each of the universes is described by the equations of classical physics, and the effects that we interpret as quantum are explained by the influence of different worlds on each other.

Standard view

The scientists' work was published in one of the Physical Review family of journals, published by the American Physical Society since 1913. The disciplinary affiliation of each journal is determined by the letter index after the main title. Thus, Physical Review A publishes articles on atomic physics, Physical Review C - on nuclear physics, Physical Review D - on particle physics and gravity. The publications have a high citation index and are included in the list of scientific journals by the Higher Attestation Commission of Russia.

The most common (Copenhagen) interpretation of quantum theory involves the wave function, the evolution of which is associated with the description of observable systems. In this approach, in order to find out the state of a quantum object (for example, an electron), a classical device is needed (that is, a device that obeys the laws of classical physics).

The belief that man is not alone in the universe pushes thousands of scientists to research. Is the existence of parallel worlds real? Evidence based on mathematics, physics, and history supports the existence of other dimensions.

Mentions in ancient texts

How to decipher the very concept of parallel measurement? It first appeared in fiction, not scientific literature. This is a type of alternative reality that exists simultaneously with the earthly one, but has certain differences. Its size can be very different - from a planet to a small city.

In written form, the topic of other worlds and Universes can be found in the writings of ancient Greek and Roman explorers and scientists. Italian believed in the existence of inhabited worlds.

And Aristotle believed that in addition to people and animals, there were invisible entities nearby that had an etheric body. Phenomena that humanity could not explain from a scientific point of view were attributed magical properties. An example is the belief in an afterlife - there is not a single nation that does not believe in life after death. The Byzantine theologian Damascus in 705 mentioned angels capable of transmitting thoughts without words. Is there evidence of parallel worlds in the scientific world?

The quantum physics

This section of science is actively developing, and today it There are even more mysteries than answers. It was identified only in 1900 thanks to the experiments of Max Planck. He discovered deviations in radiation that contradicted generally accepted physical laws. Thus, photons under different conditions can change shape.

Subsequently, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle showed that by observing quantum matter, it is impossible to influence its behavior. Therefore, parameters such as speed and location cannot be accurately determined. The theory was confirmed by scientists from the Institute in Copenhagen.

By observing a quantum object, Thomas Bohr discovered that particles exist in all possible states at once. This phenomenon is called Based on these data, in the middle of the last century it was suggested that alternative Universes exist.

Everett's Many Worlds

The young physicist Hugh Everett was a candidate of science at Princeton University. In 1954, he proposed and provided information about the existence of parallel worlds. Evidence and theory based on the laws of quantum physics have informed humanity that there are many worlds similar to our Universe in the Galaxy.

His scientific research indicated that the Universes were identical and interconnected, but at the same time deviated from each other. This suggested that in other galaxies the development of living organisms could occur in similar or radically different ways. So, there could be the same historical wars or there could be no people at all. Microorganisms that failed to adapt to earthly conditions could evolve in another world.

The idea looked incredible, similar to a fantastic story by H. G. Wells and similar authors. But is it so unrealistic? The “string theory” of the Japanese Michayo Kaku is similar - the Universe has the form of a bubble and can interact with similar ones, there is a gravitational field between them. But with such contact, a “Big Bang” will result, as a result of which our Galaxy was formed.

Einstein's works

Albert Einstein throughout his life searched for one universal answer to all questions - the “theory of everything.” The first model of the Universe, of an infinite number of them, was laid down by a scientist in 1917 and became the first scientific evidence of parallel worlds. The scientist saw a system constantly moving in time and space relative to the earthly universe.

Astronomers and theoretical physicists, such as Alexander Friedman and Arthur Eddington, refined and used this data. They came to the conclusion that the number of Universes is infinite, and each of them has a different degree of curvature of the space-time continuum, which makes it possible for these worlds to intersect an infinite number of times at many points.

Versions of scientists

There is an idea about the existence of a “fifth dimension”, and once it is discovered, humanity will have the opportunity to travel between parallel worlds. Scientist Vladimir Arshinov provides facts and evidence. He believes that there can be a huge number of versions of other realities. A simple example is through the looking glass, where the truth becomes a lie.

Professor Christopher Monroe experimentally confirmed the possibility of the simultaneous existence of two realities at the atomic level. The laws of physics do not deny the possibility of one world flowing into another without violating the law of conservation of energy. But this requires an amount of energy that is not available in the entire Galaxy.

Another version of cosmologists is black holes, in which entrances to other realities are hidden. Professors Vladimir Surdin and Dmitry Galtsov support the hypothesis of the transition between worlds through such “wormholes.”

Australian parapsychologist Jean Grimbriar believes that in the world, among the many anomalous zones, there are forty tunnels leading to other worlds, of which seven are in America, and four are in Australia.

Modern confirmations

Researchers from University College London in 2017 obtained the first physical evidence of the possible existence of parallel worlds. British scientists have discovered points of contact between our Universe and others that are invisible to the eye. This is the first practical evidence by scientists of the existence of parallel worlds, according to “string theory.”

The discovery occurred while studying the distribution of cosmic microwave background radiation in space, which was preserved after the Big Bang. It is considered the starting point for the formation of our Universe. The radiation was not uniform and contained zones with different temperatures. Professor Stephen Feeney called them "cosmic holes formed as a result of the contact of ours and parallel worlds."

Dream as a type of another reality

One of the options for proving a parallel world with which a person can contact is a dream. The speed of processing and transmission of information during the period of night rest is several times higher than during wakefulness. In a few hours you can experience months and years of life. But incomprehensible images may appear before the consciousness that cannot be explained.

It has been established that the Universe consists of many atoms with a large internal energy potential. They are invisible to humans, but the fact of their existence has been confirmed. Microparticles are in constant motion, their vibrations have different frequencies, directions and speeds.

If we assume that a person was able to travel at the speed of sound, then it would be possible to travel around the Earth in a few seconds. At the same time, it would be possible to examine surrounding objects, such as islands, seas and continents. And for a prying eye such a movement would remain invisible.

Similarly, another world may exist nearby, moving at a higher speed. Therefore, it is not possible to see and record it; the subconscious has this ability. So, sometimes the “déjà vu” effect occurs when an event or object that appears in reality for the first time turns out to be familiar. Although there may be no real confirmation of this fact. Maybe this happened at the intersection of worlds? This is a simple explanation of many mysterious things that modern science is not able to characterize.

Mysterious cases

Is there evidence of parallel worlds among the population? Mysterious disappearances of people are not considered by science. According to statistics, about 30% of disappearances remain unexplained. The site of mass disappearances is a limestone cave in a California park. And in Russia, such a zone is located in an 18th-century mine near Gelendzhik.

One such case occurred in 1964 with a lawyer from California. Thomas Mehan was last seen by a paramedic at Herberville Hospital. He came complaining of terrible pain, and while the nurse was checking his insurance policy, he disappeared. In fact, he left work and didn't get home. His car was found in a damaged state, and nearby were traces of a person. However, after a few meters they disappeared. The lawyer's body was found 30 km from the scene of the accident, and the cause of death was established by pathologists as drowning. Moreover, the moment of death coincided with his appearance in the hospital.

Another unexplained incident was recorded in 1988 in Tokyo. A car hit a man who appeared out of “nowhere.” The antique clothes confused the police, and when they found the victim’s passport, it turned out to be issued 100 years ago. According to the business card of the man who died in a car accident, the latter was an artist of the imperial theater, and the street indicated on it had not existed for 70 years. After an investigation, the elderly woman recognized the deceased as her father, who had disappeared during her childhood. Isn't this proof of parallel worlds and their existence? In support, she provided a photograph from 1902, which depicted a deceased man with a girl.

Incidents in the Russian Federation

Similar cases occur in Russia. So, in 1995, a former plant controller met a strange passenger during a flight. The young girl was looking for her pension certificate in her bag and claimed that she was 75 years old. When the lady ran away from the vehicle in confusion to the nearest police department, the inspector followed her, but did not find the young lady in the premises.

How to perceive such phenomena? Can they be considered the contact of two dimensions? Is this proof? And what if several people find themselves in the same situation at the same time?
