There Might Be Parallel Universes Out There
If you are a fan of parallel universes and any other manner of fantasies like this one, prepare to be amazed. There might be parallel universes out there and an astrophysicist believes that enough evidence has been gathered in order to prove their existence. It is quite a long shot, however, so keep your enthusiasm to a natural level, or don’t. It is all up to you.
Ranga-Ram Chary, a now famous astrophysicist, has reached the conclusion that there might be parallel universes out there after having studied information gathered by the European Space Agency’s Planck telescope. According to these findings, there are some awkward bright spots at the very edge of our own Milky Way. And this is where things start getting interesting.
Chary mentioned that “Our universe may simply be a region within an eternally inflating super-region” and that there might be multiple universes just outside ours. These other universes would obviously be governed by a different set of laws that would forge its existence and their parameters might be completely different than the ones we have become accustomed to measuring and that we actually know in this specific universe.
Chary’s paper is entitled Spectral Variations of the Sky: Constraints on Alternate Universes and it mentions that there is a 30% probability that there might not be anything out there. At the same time, it is highly probable that there is a multiverse just around the corner. That would perhaps change our entire perception of “alien life” considering that aliens could be us in a universe with slight differences.
The paper was centered on mapping cosmic microwave background, or CMB. Cosmic microwave background is practically the resulting sunshine that emerges once a new universe is born. Chary noticed something odd. He mapped the CMB on the night sky and discovered what seems to be a huge blob. The blob indicates that protons and electrons united in the region and formed hydrogen.
Jay Pasachoff, the chair of the astronomy department within Williams College, declared that it is still too early to theorize whether parallel universes till exist or not. Nonetheless, while there are alternative explanations for Chary’s interpretation, his understanding and argumentation are sound and can represent the truth.
So what do you believe? Is the universe truly limitless? Or are there certain constraints that limit time and space to areas within space?
