The Sky's the Limit: Are there multiple universes?
Is there another “you” somewhere out there? Kind of like an identical twin but in a different reality?
The idea of a duplicate of us living in another timeline in space has been proposed by Hollywood for decades. In the 1960-episode Twilight Zone series “Mirror Image” https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Mirror_Image_(The_Twilight_ Zone) (watch it free here) https://moviestowatch.tv/watch-tv/watch-the-twilight-zone-online-38241.5055628 a young woman encounters her double intersecting from another universe into ours. Similarly in the 1967 Star Trek episode “Mirror, Mirror” https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Mirror,_Mirror_(Star_Trek:_ The_Original_Series) (watch if free here) https://moviestowatch.tv/watchtv/watch-star-trek-online-39401.5324977 the entire crew is accidently beamed into a parallel universe where evil is the norm rather than good. Most interestingly the counter (bad) Mr. Spock logically admits on the show their system does not make sense and will eventually collapse.
The term “mirror” is consistent in both shows and maybe the key word in this concept.
A recent article “There Are Infinite Versions of You in The Multiverse – Science Confirms It!” https://universe-inside-you.com/ multiverse-theory/ is a very detailed editorial which attempts to explain this very intricate subject. It's 20-minute video https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=8SSldjYleBg&t=2s needs to be watched several times to try and absorb the complexities of information. It circles around the idea of quantum physics which in a sense borders the supernatural and multiple dimensions outside our 4D world we're used to.
The benchmark speed of light, used much in the world of physics, needs a second look.
Jason Shurka www.jasonshurka.com, American author, coach, speaker and real estate investor turned researcher explains we've been mislead about the speed of light https://rumble.com/ v1y4dks-jason-shurka-discusses-government-lies-about-speed-of-light-withnicholas-v.html.
I somehow don't doubt this, but my mind is open, and it would take years to wrap your head around this.
As a teenager, I remember the
1982 song “Spirits in the Material World” https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=BHOevX4DlGk by the English band The Police and these specific lyrics “Where does the answer lie?, Living from day to day, If it's something we can't buy, There must be another way-----------We are spirits in the material world----” I suppose Sting (a.k.a. Gordon Sumner) the writer was encouraging us to be skeptical in an entertaining way but the bottom line is this is the opening to a whole new world most have no idea exists!
THE BEST IS YET YO COME!
