Greetings Mirthlings,
I am new to the forum. And I am a layperson. But I am currently reading all that I can get on certain areas of physics so that I can understand better, on a lay-level what I need to know.
What area branch of physics, do you think, would best explain the existence of a parallel universe that a person could actually exist in? From what I understand so far there could be:
1. Wormholes to other universes that exist in parallel?
2. Under the MWI model, alternate physical realities that are worlds that have evolved along a different path than ours. But do these exist in the same spatial location as ours but in parallel because of some property that keeps them separate? Or are they stacked in adjacent branes?
I was reading that, in string theory, that the smallest bits of matter contain tiny vibrating strings. And the rates at which these strings vibrate (can) dictate the properties of the matter. I've also read that it has been theorized that a parallel world could exist millimeters away from our own. Is it possible or remotely plausible that the strings in matter in a parallel world could be vibrating at a different range of frequencies making that matter present, close to us, but invisible and out of touch for us? Matter that is slightly out of phase with our own?
I apologize in advance for sounding idiotic. I am just trying to get my head around a theoretically plausible explanation for the possibility of an alternate world, and possibly getting there. I hope I am not wasting anyone's time. Any information or conjecture or references you can provide would be wonderful!
