Dimensions

Having been through a little too many books on management lately, I turned to a book on cosmology, relativity, quantum mechanics, time travel and parallel worlds - Parallel Worlds. I am only half way though and I obviously don't claim to understand all of it, but I am nevertheless intrigued.

First you need to subscribe to Bohr's idea that the universe exist only because we perceive it to be. Second you need subscribe to the wave theory that suggests that there are multiple universes existing at the same time where each universe has its own frequency. At every moment, with every quantum disturbance, each frequency (universe) splits off to infinite variations of its frequency and hence splits off into a myriad of different worlds - each world caused by a slightly different set of events. In this model, there might exists a world where dinosaurs still roam the earth, another world where Hitler won, yet another where Genghis Khan took out most of Europe long before anyone else did, each world continuously splitting off into yet another deck of different possible permutations of events at every moment. We perceive the world we live in because we are tuned to this world's frequency and at the same time cannot perceive other worlds that are humming at different frequencies, much like radios with broken knobs.

All of a sudden many things become understandable. May be ghosts and goblins are simply beings that exist in other worlds, perceived by some of us with better abilities to “tune” into other frequencies. May be there are (divine) beings who can cross frequencies at will (5th dimension?) appearing and disappearing from our world. Does that also mean that one day, people who doesn't like how things are going in the world they are in, can move themselves to a world where things work out much better? What then, will happen to taking responsibility for our choices? How then are we going to track people down? Not only can they be anywhere, they can be any-when and be anybody. If we can cross the time dimension, does that mean we will be able to see anyone, at any moment in their lifetime "forever" as they will never "die" as far as our perception goes? What about ourselves?

Imagine that.
