I have a theory there may be parralelle earths somewhere in the universe, after all earth is a pretty good prototype is it not? I wonder if there
are other humans elsewhere, exactly like us, who also think there "it"?
Don’t know about the “good prototype” thing. There’s not much else we know of to compare us with yet. But, we’re still looking …
As far as parallel earths are concerned, if you believe the multiverse interpretation of quantum theory, then there are uncountable parallel earths.
You can go here to read a decent article about it:
www.newscientist.com...
According to the multiverse interpretation, there are not only countless parallel earths, but countless parallel universes to contain them.
Briefly, on the original topics of the thread:
- topic 1 wormholes –
they’re known to exist on the atomic level, and we have even determined how to possibly open a gateway/entrance through one large enough for a human
to pass through. The biggest obstacle so far is to generate enough "negative energy” to keep the gateway/entrance open long enough for someone to
pass through it and then come back. But, it’s only a matter of time before it’s done.
- topic 2 blackholes –
they’re born; they eat, sleep, belch, move around a little, then die, like everything else.
- topic 3 whiteholes –
a white hole is a black hole running backwards in time. Black holes swallow things, and white holes spit them out. They were thought to be the exit
points of black holes. I think, however, that white holes are no longer given much serious consideration amongst physicists since they violate the
second law of thermodynamics.
- topic 4 planets –
space junk made of that rare substance known as ordinary matter/atoms. Ordinary matter/atoms contribute about 4% to the makeup of the universe, the
remainder being around 23% dark matter and 73% dark energy, which we know little about and don’t understand at all.
- topic 5 other –
too much to cover.
IMHO, we haven’t a clue what’s going on. Humans will never be able to objectively understand reality, although it’s fun trying. Somehow it’s hard to
accept the notion that perhaps we're all nothing more than ambulating bags of ions. We want to be so much more.
In the meantime, and until such time as we are no more, we’ll continue on our
skewed journey through lalaland, all the way simply making up whatever it is that we are, as well as inventing everything else that's out there.
Just a thought ...
