Time travel could be possible, says a group of physicists who’ve come up with a new interpretation of our universe, says the Sun U.K.
Professor Howard Wiseman and Dr. Michael Hall from Griffith University's Centre for Quantum Dynamics, and Dr. Dirk-Andre Deckert from the University of California, say there are many universes, including identical ones to ours, that “influence one another through quantum mechanics.” The theory is called the “Many-Worlds Interpretation."
What this means is that travelling through time within our universe is conceivable, says the Sun.
“In the well-known ‘Many-Worlds Interpretation’, each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made,” said Wiseman.“All possibilities are therefore realized – in some universes the dinosaur-killing asteroid missed Earth. In others, Australia was colonized by the Portuguese."
While the idea of parallel universes in quantum physics has been around since 1957, the Express says this new interpretation is a different approach to that theory.
