Cause of Accelerating Universe

Introduction

Scientists are now saying that the universe is accelerating. That is, the universe is not just continuing to expand, but is actually accelerating in its expansion.

Is this True?

First, I am not sure this is true. I want to look at the data myself. I want to know exactly what it is these scientists saw or measured. Then I will interpret that for myself.

Very often, people are mistaken in what they observe. They can also attribute a cause to their observation which isn’t really true.

As a simple example, the Geiger Counter doesn’t really measure the amount of radioactive decay. What we get is a series of clicks, and these clicks are caused first by radioactive decay hitting the sensor, and then a cascading effect of subsequent electrons produced in the device. Thus, the Geiger Counter can give us an approximate idea of the radioactive decay, yet we can never correlate exact number of clicks to specific amounts of decay.

There are other examples as well. And many times highly respected scientists (including myself) will question the reports. What you are measuring may in fact be something else. Or the cause of your observation may be due to another factor.

Therefore, before I can actually agree that the stars of the universe are accelerating, I need to study the actual observations.

 

Another Problem with Accelerating Universe
I had another problem with the idea of the accelerating universe: how can stars be accelerating? After a burst of electromagnetic energy has been created, it travels at the same speed, virtually forever. Therefore it does not make sense to me that photons will increase their speed.

Actual Cause of the Accelerating Universe

However, today I have developed a theory on the Cause of the Accelerating Universe.

Suppose it is true that the stars, planets, photons, and various particles are indeed accelerating. This implies that there is an external force being applied. This the key concept.

I could never agree with the concept of stars and EM bursts accelerating on their own. This just can’t happen. Yet if we apply an external force on the stars and EM bursts, then we can indeed accelerate them.

Therefore, this implies that there is Strong Force at the center of the universe. This is something like a giant sun which continues to produce energy. This energy is then applied to all entities in the universe. In other words, this energy is in some form which can PUSH on the photons, stars, and other objects. This external pushing will in fact cause the photons, stars, and various objects to accelerate.

Thus, the main cause for an accelerating expanding universe must be a strong, continuous force of energy in the center of the universe. The entity, whatever it is, continues to produce very strong energy, in a form that can push all objects in the universe. This pushing causes the objects to accelerate.

Giant Pump, Giant Fan, Giant Geyser

The way I imagine this entity in the center of the universe is a giant pump, a giant fan, or a giant geyser.

Think of a pump. You squeeze it, and air is pushed along. Now imagine a giant pump, the size of a supernova…and imagine the amount of air this pump can push.

Of course we know that space contains very little air molecules, yet this giant pump is pushing something. It could be tiny particles, it could be quarks and protons, or it could be any number of things. Yet this pump is pushing something. And whatever is being pushed by the pump will eventually hit each star and each photon. This is the physical push which causes the star or photon to actually increase forward trajectory speed, aka acceleration.

The analogy of the giant fan is similar. You know that a fan will push air, and a higher powered fan will push air faster….thus the air is being “accelerated” to higher speeds. Again, the entity in the center of the universe could be like a giant fan, pushing some small particles in the universe at high speeds, which then push on the stars and photons, causing them to accelerate.

The geyser analogy also works. In the geysers on earth we have a process of heat and water underground, which ultimately causes the water to burst out. The explosive force can cause the water to be jettisoned hundreds of feet in the air.

Now suppose we have a similar entity in the center of the universe. Yet instead of water, our giant geyser jettisons some type of energy. Thus, every few minutes, this giant geyser burst forth a stream of energy – perhaps a stream several miles long.

This stream of energy may take several forms. This is yet to be discovered. One possible form is magnetic energy, or possibly electromagnetic energy. There may be other types of energy emitted as well.

Whatever form of energy this is, the energy will travel throughout space, and when it hits an object, the applied energy will cause the object to travel faster.

 

Summary
Thus, if the stars and EM bursts of the universe are not only expanding, but also in fact accelerating, then the primary cause must be due to an entity at the center of the universe. This entity will continuously produce energy, or it will continue to apply a force to tiny particles. Whatever the form, the energy or particles will be sent accelerating through space, and when hits another object, will cause that object to accelerate.

This is the likely cause of an accelerating universe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time Travel Among Multiple Universes

Introduction

This article is the latest in a series on my ideas of Time Travel and Multiple Universes. Here we will put most of those concepts together and understand how time travel works within this system.

Background Reminders

Let us review some of the main concepts we have discussed previously.

1. We have an Orchard of Multiple Universes, which is very similar to an orchard of apple trees.

2. Like each tree in the orchard, each universe is a distinct entity. Each universe grows and develops independently.

3. Just as each tree begins from a single seed and matures, each universe emerges from a single seed (the Big Bang) and matures.

4. In an apple orchard, we can use seeds which came from one tree. All seeds have nearly identical DNA, therefore all trees which come from these seeds will be nearly identical. In the same way each “universe seed” is almost identical. Therefore, each universe, as it matures, will look very similar to every other universe which matures from similar seeds.

5. There will be variations from one universe to the next. Just as each mature apple tree will look slightly different, each mature universe will also look slightly different.

6. Consequently, each mature universe will look very similar to the others, and yet each mature universe will have slight variations.

7. Each universe can be planted at different points in absolute time. In our apple orchard, we can plant one tree every 5 years, over a period of 100 years. In the same way, we can plant one universe seed every 5 years, over a period of millions and billions of years.

8. As we look upon such an orchard in 100 years we see trees of all stages of growth at the same time. At one point in absolute time we see dozens of trees, each of a different age.

In a similar way, with our universe orchard, by planting a new universe every 5 years we have a multitude of different universes, each of a different age. In these type of orchards, we can compare trees, or universes, at different stages of maturity, yet we can do this from one distinct point in time.

9. There is a difference between Absolute Time and Relative Time.

     “Absolute Time” is the total time past from the first tree or universe planted, to the most recent one planted.

“Relative Time” is the difference in ages between two trees (or two universes). If one tree was planted 20 years later than another, then the difference in ages will always be 20 years. When the first tree is 50, the second tree is 30. When the first tree is 100, the second tree is 80. Such a difference in time will always be the same, while both trees mature independently. The relative difference in ages between such trees is the “Relative Time”.

For Universes, the concept of "Relative Time" is similar: the “Relative Time” for universes is the relative time differences between ages of two universes. As each matures independently, the difference in ages (the Relative Time) will be the same.

Time Travel Between Trees

We can now begin to understand what Time Travel means in this system. Let us first look at the concept of Time Travel between the Trees. In brief, we are able to walk a short distance, seeing actual trees of a later age, and in that way we are “seeing” possible futures for our own tree.

Consider our Apple Orchard. Just by walking a few feet you can “see” the future. Start at any tree. Then walk a few feet to the next tree, it is 5 years older than your original tree. Walk to the next tree it is 10 years older than your original tree. Continue to walk and you will see trees which are older still.

Note that you are not actually walking forward in time. What you are doing is walking to a tree which was planted earlier, and which is therefore older than the tree where you started.

Also note that you are not looking at the same tree exactly as it will be in the future. Rather, you are looking at a very similar tree, and seeing what that tree looks at that age. Then, by extrapolation, you can guess that your tree will look almost exactly like that tree, when your tree reaches that age. In other words, you are looking at real futures of similar trees, and guessing that your tree will have that same future. It is in that way in which you are “seeing” the possible future of your tree.

 

We can also travel to the past in the same way. Again we start at our tree. Going the other direction we see a tree that is 5 years younger, and the next tree is 10 years younger, and so on, down to the tree which has most recently been planted.

Therefore, if you want to know what your tree might have looked like 20 years ago, you simply walk the row of trees back to a tree which was planted 20 years earlier. The trees are distinct – it is not your exact tree – yet both trees are similar enough that you can make the comparison. You can guess that this tree of “minus 20 years” is pretty much what your tree looked like 20 years ago.

Time Travel Between Universes

Now we can come to the concept of Time Travel among the Multiple Universes. Similar to the Apple Orchard above, the Universe Orchard has a multitude of universes, each planted 5 years apart. In brief, when you time travel from one universe to another, you are traveling to a different universe, which is also of a different age. By comparing the two universes, you can guess the likely future (or likely past) of your own universe.

 

Remember that each universe starts from the same type of universe seed, just planted 5 years later. Over a period of billions of years, there will be this Orchard of numerous universes.

If we travel upward in space to the next universe, we will find it to be similar to ours, yet it will be 5 years older than our own. Compare that universe to ours, and you can guess what our universe will look like in another 5 years.

Continue upward in space to the next universe, and the next, and the next…to a thousand universes above. That universe will be 5,000 years older than our own. Again, compare that universe to our own, and you can guess what our universe will likely become in 5,000 years.

We can also go the other way: back in time. Starting again at our universe we go downward to the adjacent universe. This is 5 years younger than our own. Travel further, the next universe is 10 years younger than our own. Thus, we can travel to any universe in this direction, and arrive at a universe hundreds, thousands, or millions of years younger than our own.

Do you want to see what our universe probably looked like 10 million years ago? Simply travel in space to the universe that was planted 10 million years before ours. Study it, look around. Everything you see is probably what our universe looked like when it was that age.

 

Thus, when we time travel in this system, we are: 1) visiting a different universe, which is distinct from our own, 2) visiting a universe which was started in a different absolute time than our own, and therefore 3) we can compare universes to see the likely possibilities of what our universe will be like at that age. This is the basic process of time travel between universes.

Futures are Similar yet Different

Remember this dual concept: each universe will be similar to the others, yet also different.

It is important to remember that each universe will be similar, yet different, from our own. Remember that each universe is distinct, and each will mature in its own way. Therefore the future may not be exact. Yet each universe comes from the exact same type of “universe seed”, which means that the great majority of aspects of each universe will be similar.

Thus, when are doing the comparison between another universe and or own, know that the future of our universe will very likely be the same as this other universe…and yet it may not actually be that way.

Sampling Multiple Universes

Also, we have the option of seeing multiple futures. To do this, you will visit multiple universes.

For example, you want to know what our universe will be like in approximately 500 years. Therefore you travel to the universe planted 500 years before ours, and then make the comparison.

Yet, to get more information you travel to the nearby universes as well. You go to the universes that are 510 years ahead, and 520 years ahead. You also go the universes that are 490 years ahead and 480 years ahead. Each of these universes is near the “500 years ahead” time difference you are looking for. (I refer to these universes with similar ages as “near-in-time universes”). Yet each one is distinct, and develops independently. Therefore it is possible for any of these universes you visited to have a different scenario from the others.

The odds are that most of the universes you sample, in a close date range, will have the same major aspects. And if most of the universes have the same specific aspect you are curious about, then you can conclude with high probability that the future of that aspect of your universe will be the same as seen in those universes you visited.

In other words, by visiting multiple universes, each near a target date, then you can compare multiple futures, and conclude with better accuracy what the future of a particular aspect of our universe will be.

Multiple Different Futures

However, you may find that some or all of these major aspects vary from one universe to another. Thus, you now have “multiple different futures”. You then have several possibilities. You know that this aspect of your universe can become any one of several scenarios you see in these future universes. This is how you can see “multiple different futures” for the same general event.

Summary

Time Travel in the Multiple Universe System is really traveling to a different universe which was begun at a different moment in absolute time. The relative time difference between any one universe and another universe will always be the same for those two universes, while each universe matures independently.

Therefore we can compare “probable futures” of our universe by examining the actual future of similar universes which are older than our own. Similarly, we can compare “probable pasts” of our universe by examining the actual past of similar universes which are younger than our own.

We can also visit several universes near a target date, in order to get several possible futures (or several possible pasts). Where most aspects of these near-in-time universes are identical, we can be highly certain that those aspects in our universe will be the same. However, where there are significant differences among those near-in-time universes, we can see several possible futures (or pasts) for our own universe.

Multiple Universes and their Placement in Time

Introduction

In addition to the existence of multiple universes, each universe can be planted at different points in time. This produces some interesting results.

Absolute Time versus Relative Time

One of the key aspects of each universe planted at different points at time is the different between “Absolute Time” and “Relative Time”.

In brief, “Absolute Time” is the straight chronological time. This is the age of our tree orchard or the age of our orchard of universes.

In contrast, “Relative Time” is the time difference between entities. For example, the time difference between one tree and another is “Relative Time”. The time difference between one universe and another is “Relative Time”.

All of these concepts will be explained in detail below.

Trees Planted at Different Times

To begin understanding these concepts, we will look at our simple tree orchard. We have acres of land. And we have thousands of seeds. In a typical orchard, we plant these trees at the same time, just a few feet apart from another. These trees then develop at the same time, and produce fruit at the same time.

We can also plant our seeds at different points in time. This is a common occurrence where the tree takes several years to grow. A dozen trees are planted on acre 1 this year. Another dozen trees are planted on acre 2 the next year. And so on. Now fast forward 10 years. As you look across the various acres, you will see trees at different ages, depending on which acre you look at.

Thus, we can plant trees at different points in time. Each tree will develop at the same rate, and in the same general way as any other tree (because of the DNA in the seed). Yet because we plant the seed at different times, the ages of each tree will look different.

Planting a Tree Every 5 Years

To see this more clearly, imagine we plant just one tree every 5 years. Tree A gets planted in the first year. Tree B gets planted on year 5. Tree C gets planted on year 10. And so on.

After 100 years we will have numerous trees – specifically 20 trees at this point - but each at a different stage of growth. Tree A will be 100 years old. Tree B will be 95 years old. Tree C will be 90 years old. And so on.

Thus, as you look across the orchard you will see the same type of tree throughout, but each tree will look slightly different because each one is successively younger than the previous tree.

Absolute Time versus Relative Time, In an Apple Orchard

Now here is a preview of “Relative Time”. Relative Time is the difference in time between each tree as both trees continue to grow.

For example, at 100 years, Tree “T” will be the most recent tree planted. At this point Tree T is just a seed. It looks very different from Tree “A”, which is currently 100 years old. And yet, when tree “T” itself reaches 100 years old, it will look remarkably similar to Tree A when it was 100 years old. This is the essence of “Relative Time”.

Of course, when those next 100 years pass, Tree A will be 100 years older as well, and be 200 years old. So of course Tree T will never be exactly the same age as Tree A at the same point in Absolute Time. Yet Tree T will eventually reach every age that Tree A does...just several years behind in Absolute Time.

Thus, “Relative Time” is the time difference between the trees as they grow. Tree T will always be 100 years younger than Tree A. That will always be, and that will never change. Similarly, Tree A will always be 100 years older than Tree T. That will always be, and that will never change. That is Relative Time.

And yet, both trees are living organisms. Each tree will grow and develop, as an independent entity. There is an Absolute Time, and both trees grow steadily during this Absolute Time. The trees simply have a perpetual time difference between them as they develop…the “Relative Time”.

How One Tree Looks to Another Tree in the Orchard

Now consider how one tree appears as compared to another tree in the apple orchard. This will give us our first glimpse of “time travel” in our multiple universe system.

Let us again take our snapshot of the orchard at 100 years after planting the first tree. Now let us look specifically at one tree near the middle, such as Tree J. This tree was planted 50 years after the first tree, Tree A.

We start by studying Tree J. We look at it carefully, and become absorbed in thought over the tree. We come to know everything about this tree, down to the smallest details.

Then we notice trees to the left and trees to the right. The tree to left looks similar, but is 5 years older, and therefore looks a bit different. The tree to the right looks similar, but is 5 years younger, and therefore also looks a bit different.

We start walking down the row of trees to the left. Each one looks very similar to the tree we just past – after all, it is the same basic type of tree, and from the same seed – but each one looks different. Being planted 5 years earlier means that the tree will have matured 5 years beyond the previous tree…even though both trees are within a few feet of each other.

Just by taking a few steps, we see a tree that is 5 years older. And after many steps we see a tree that is 10 years older…20 years older…30 years older…50 years older.

We walk back to our starting tree, tree J. How different this tree seems now. And we trace the steps back down the row to Trees I...H...G…F…all the way to Tree A again. We look at the tree thinking: “50 years”. This tree, Tree A, is pretty much what our starting point tree (Tree J) will look like in 50 years.

Here is a key concept in our understanding: We have seen what our tree will probably look like in 50 years. In a sense, we have “seen the future”.

We have walked “50” years in the future, by taking just a few short steps.

Yet also let me be clear on this point: we are not looking at the exact tree in the future. Rather, we are looking at a similar tree, which is more mature. What we are seeing is a likely future for our tree. By studying an older tree which comes from the same seed (tree A), we can very likely predict what our tree (tree J), will look like when that tree reaches the same age.

In that way, walking the short path from one tree to another tree, each planted 5 years apart, is like seeing the future. It is a likely, most probable future based on a similar tree which already exists. Yet it is a way to “see” into the future.

Seeing into the Past in our Orchards

In a similar way we can view the “past” in our orchard. Starting again from Tree J, if we want to see what Tree J was like when it was younger, we simply stroll the other direction. We pass Tree K, which is 5 years younger, and Tree L which is 10 years younger, and Tree M, which is 15 years younger.

Thus, every tree we walk to in this other direction is a nearly identical tree, just a few years younger. In this way we can easily see what our Tree, Tree J, was like in the past.

We merely look at younger trees of a similar type, and deduce that since the trees are similar, the history of each tree would have been similar. While there may have been variations, it is very likely that what our Tree, Tree J, looked like 20 years ago would have been very similar to Tree N.

It is in this way we can travel to the “past” in order to “see” what our tree looked like many years ago.

Relative Times and Absolute Times in our Orchards

Let us revisit the concepts of Relative Time and Absolute Time. These are key concepts in our understanding of time travel through multiple universes.

“Relative Time” is the relative time difference between two entities, such as two trees. If we compare Tree J to Tree A, we will see a Relative Time of 50 years. Tree A will always be 50 years older than Tree J. And Tree J will always be 50 years younger than Tree J. Walking from Tree J to Tree A, we go forward 50 years, or +50 years. Walking from Tree A to Tree J, we go backward 50 years, or -50 years.

Similarly, with our example of Tree J to Tree N, we are again using the concept of “Relative Time”. I will describe the same process in a different way: If we want to know what our tree looked like 20 years ago, then we pick a tree whose “Relative Time” is “minus 20 years”. In this case, Tree N. Find the tree, go there, and look at it. What you see is very much like what our Tree J would have looked like 20 years ago.

 

This is how we can use Relative Time to see into the past or the future.

Universes Planted at Different Times

Now that we understand trees being planted at different times, we can understand universes planted at different times.

Furthermore, now that we understand being able to “walk” to the future to determine what our tree might look like, or walk to the past to see what our past might have looked like, we can more easily understand traveling from one universe to another, in order to see our likely future, or our likely past.

 

We begin with a thousand “universe seeds”. Each “universe seed” is identical. Yet each is distinct.

Like a regular seed, these universe seeds are inert and self-contained. Each seed can remain in its seed condition for many, many years.

Now suppose we have a “Master Planter”. This Master Planter will plant one of these Universe Seeds every 5 years.

Once the Universe Seed has been planted, the seed develops on its own. That universe is created. (This is the Big Bang – the creation of the universe as we know it). The universe will grow and mature according to the basic DNA of the Universe Seed. Additional details within each universe will be modified by individual people and other intelligent entities in that universe.

Each Universe is created in the same way. Every 5 years the Master Planter will plant the next Universe Seed. Each universe is planted in a physical region of space somewhat close in proximity to the previous universe. Once planted, each Universe grows and develops independently.

Each universe seed is planted 5 years later in Absolute Time. And each new universe is 5 years younger, in relative time, from the previous universe.

 

Time Travel Through Multiple Universes

Imagine now 10 Billion Years in Absolute Time. There are now 2 Billion Universes. Each universe is an independent entity, and yet each universe is similar to all the others.

Do want to know what life might be like in a million years? Find the Universe which is a Relative Time of 1 Billion years older from ours. Travel to that universe. Here you see what a universe very similar to ours looks like at that age. By inference, you can guess that most aspects of our universe at that age will be similar.

And this is the basic mechanism of Time Travel through Multiple Universes.

The Nature of Alternate Universes

Introduction

In this section we will discuss the main concepts I have developed regarding the Nature of Alternate Universe. Or, as I like to call it: “The Orchard of Multiple Universes.”

The Seeds of Alternate Universes

In my view, each Universe is like a tree, and the collection of multiple universes is like an orchard.

When we create an orchard we start with seeds. Each seed appears to be identical. Each seed has the same DNA. Yet each seed is distinct. Same with each universe. Each Universe, at the beginning, appears to be identical, yet each "universe seed" is a different entity.

In the orchard we take each seed and plant it. Over time, the seed grows and develops, eventually creating a large tree. Similarly, each Universe grows and develops, and in time becomes a complex organism.

Also, in the orchard we can plant each seed in a different location, or even at different times. Over time, this will result in adult trees that may be very different from the others – even though the seeds were identical. In a similar way, each universe can be created at different locations in space, or begin at different points in time. After a period of years, this will result in mature universes which look very different from each other, even though the initial universe seeds are identical.

Thus, the Nature of Alternate Universes is really an Orchard of Multiple Universes. Each Universe comes from the same basic “seed”, and in many ways each universe will appear to be the same. Yet because each universe is a living organism, then each universe can grow and develop in different ways (depending on particular circumstances). This is the basic nature of the multiple universes.

In the following sections we will expand on some of these concepts.

Alternate Universes: Similar yet Different

In my view of alternate universes, each universe begins as identical. Like seeds coming from the same tree, each Universe begins the same. Each universe is identical. Yet each universe is distinct.

Then, as time progresses, each Universe develops in its own way. Again, using the tree analogy, we can take each seed from the same tree and plant them in the same general area. Yet as each tree grows, each one will develop slightly differently. The differences may be subtle, or the differences may be major, depending on which two trees we compare.

And so it is with Alternate Universes. At first glance, these alternate universes may seem nearly identical, like many apple trees in an orchard. And yet up on closer inspection, each universe, like each apple tree in the orchard, will have developed in different ways.

Seeds and Each Universe, Seeds of Your Soul

The main analogy of "identical seeds from the same tree" is representing this: each Universe being identical at the time that Universe is created.

Yet we also have different types of seeds: that of your soul. Again, think of the seeds of the tree. Each seed has the same basic DNA. Each seed is essentially identical. Each seed will grow into a new plant or new tree very similar to any other one from the same type of seed.

And so it is with your soul. When “you” are created, there are actually a thousand versions of “you”. Each “you” is like one of these seeds. Each “you” is created at the same time, with essentially the same DNA.

Then, like the seeds which blow in the wind and become planted in different areas, each “you” is scattered among the different universes.

There, when you reach that Universe, you become planted. It is in that Universe where that seed, that particular “you”, is allowed to grow and develop.

Similarities in Each Universe: Due to DNA

It will be true that most aspects of each Universe will be similar to those aspects of other Universe. This is particularly true for two universes which are planted close together in space or in time.

This is very similar to our apple orchard. If we take a hundred seeds, all from one original tree, and plant them over several acres, we will get numerous apple trees, each one looking very similar to the other. Each seed has the same DNA, and therefore naturally each mature tree will look similar. In the same way, each Universe started with the same type of “seed” and therefore most factors of any mature universe will look similar to those factors in any other mature universe.

Similarities in Each Universe: Due to People

There is another reason why each universe will appear similar: the people which live in the universe. Remember that there are multiple versions of each person, and we can think of this as another form of “seeds” which are spread throughout space and planted in different regions.

Each person arrives in each universe with the same personality and desires, and arrives in that universe at the same point in time (relative to the birth of that universe). Therefore, it is natural to expect that for most decisions and actions, the person will act the same way in each universe. And if most of the other people act the same way as they do in their other universes, then the overall net result is that history of events will develop in the same way in each universe.

Therefore, most aspects of each universe will be similar to those same aspects in the other universes. Again, this is for two main reasons: 1) the DNA of the Universe Seed is identical in each, and 2) the personalities of all people in each universe are identical to the personalities of the same person in the other universes.

Different Conditions Produce Different Results

Although each Universe will be similar (due to the DNA of the Universe Seed, and due to the identical personalities of all people in each universe), each Universe CAN evolve differently.

Consider our apple trees in the orchard. Although each tree is basically similar, each tree can develop differently. No two trees are absolutely identical. There is some variation in the number of branches, the position of branches, and the placement of leaves. Then there are external factors such as type of soil, amount of water, intensity of sunlight, in addition to general weather conditions. All of these factors will influence how one tree will develop over another. Therefore, for all these reasons, no two trees will be identical even when coming from similar seeds.  

Each Universe will evolve in the same way. While most factors of each universe are similar those factors in the other universes, there are plenty of variables which allow each universe to evolve differently.

The main variables are the individuals. Above we said that for a particular person the same personality exists in each universe, and therefore most of the times the choices will be the same. However, this is not always the case.

You know yourself how many times you have made one major choice over another, and how often you wonder what would happen if you made that other choice. Well, a similar dilemma happens for each of “you” in the other universe. In some of those universes the other versions of “you” will make the same choice you did. Yet in other universes, some versions of “you” made a different choice. And because of that choice, the life of the other you evolved much differently.

Furthermore, expand this concept to the millions of people who live in a particular region at one point in time. Each person making choices. Each “him” or each “her” making decisions. Collectively, these decisions affect events close in time and close in region…and as we trace time from a particular year of choices, we can see the evolution of history, as a whole.

Then we compare these other universes to our own. Given one moment in time, in each universe, some of the identical personalities make the same choice as they did in our own, while other identical personalities choose another way. Then look at the collective whole of these decisions, and see the history evolve. Thus, much of the history of each universe will be similar to ours (based on choices which are the same as in ours) yet many aspects of the history will be different from ours – based on choices which are different from those choices made in our universe. 

Summary of the Nature of the Multiple Universes

In brief, this is the summary of the nature of the multiple universes: We have an Orchard of Multiple Universes. Each Universe starts from the same “seed”. Therefore, as each universe develops, much of any one mature universe will appear the same as another universe.

These seeds can be planted in different points in space, as well as different points in absolute time. This will contribute to differences in the evolution of each universe.

There are also multiple versions of “you”. As a another type of “seed”, there are many versions of you which are planted in each universe. Each person is born with the same DNA and personality, yet each person is separate entity, living in this separate world, and able to make individual choices.

Most of the time, the choices made by “you” in each universe will be the same, because of your basic personality. Yet there are many major choices in life where other versions of "you" made a different choice...and leads you down a different path. Furthermore, this new path will create completely new set of choices. In that way, the life of the “you” in the other universe may be different from the life you personally know in your universe.

 

When comparing universes, much of the universe will appear the same as the one you know. This is particularly true for universes which exist close in space, or were planted close in time, to the universe you are in. However, due to individual choices in each universe, there are many aspects of a specific universe which is different from our own.

Time Travel with Alternate Universes: An Overview

Introduction

I have developed some theories of Time Travel as related to Alternate Universes.

Of course I am not the first person to come up with the idea of alternate universes. Nor am I the first person to think of time travel as associated with alternate universes. However, I have taken the basic concept of alternate universes and time travel, then developed my own ideas of what this might look like, and how this might work. The following sections detail how I view the system.

Sections in Our Discussion

My initial idea on this discussion is to present the topic in several parts. At this point I see the parts in the discussion as follows:

1. The Nature of Alternate Universes

2. Multiple Universes and their Placement in Time

3. Time Travel Among the Various Universes

4. Ramifications when Time Traveling among Alternate Universes.

There may other sections as well, in particular more details on Time Travel within Your Universe (contrasted with time travel among various universes).

After I am done with writing and posting each section, I will go back and link the Section List above to the specific writings.
