mulreay Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I apologies for my lack of knowledge but I would like something explained if you can. It is possible for an atom or particle to be in two places at once hence the multi-verse. Hence quantum physics. But to have a quantum event. So.. we can dismiss the human effect as that is not a quantom event. It's a collection of quantom events not the singular. If a free radicle or singular atom or particle was to hit my DNA in one cell and destroy part of the code that would then be a quantum event. So are the resulting effects of said cancer a quantum event? Am I alive in an off shoot of the result because it's quantum? And because I can not imagine myself in the future unless I'm alive, would that make me immortal from this? My family would see me die but I would continue elsewhere. I'm no brain box but I try to understand.. Thanks in advance for any replys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 An atom being in a superposition of states need not be viewed as a multiverse — that's an interpretation of physics. The question of what constitutes a quantum event in your general description is tied in with decoherence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_decoherence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
