“#The multiverse theory, explained – Macleans.ca<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The term you\u2019re hearing more frequently combines comic-book cinema with quantum mechanics\n <\/div>\n
\n A random number is printed on the copyright page of theoretical physicist Sean Carroll\u2019s 2019 book Something Deeply Hidden<\/em>. In our universe, each copy of the book shows that same number: 756,132,390,815,553. But that\u2019s just one of more than a quadrillion numbers that his quantum random number generator could\u2019ve produced\u2014and Carroll claims that a new universe was created for each outcome. In each of the realities that his quantum computing spit out, there\u2019s a different number printed in his book.<\/p>\n

That might sound like science<\/a> fiction or something straight out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe\u2014and, hey, Carroll was a scientific consultant for Avengers: Endgame<\/a>\u2014but his work represents a legitimate if controversial school of thought in modern science. Multiverse theory is not strictly \u201cscientific\u201d because, for now, it can\u2019t be empirically tested. It\u2019s a little closer to philosophy, says Almog Yalinewich, a postdoctoral fellow in astrophysics at the University of Toronto. But the idea of parallel universes does do a lot to \u201calleviate inconveniences\u201d in scientific study, he explains, like theoretical time travel<\/a> paradoxes.<\/p>\n

Many modern physicists think about a multiverse in the context of the \u201cmany worlds\u201d theory of quantum mechanics. The theory tries to explain the behaviour of subatomic particles, which can simultaneously exist in different locations at the same time. \u201cIf the multiverse is real, then branches happ<\/a>en all the time,\u201d says Yalinewich. Someday, he says, quantum computing may be powerful enough to actually test whether it exists. But for now, credit comic-book cinema\u2014like the upcoming 2022 film Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness\u2014<\/em>for bringing the mind-bending \u201cmultiverse\u201d to your attention.
