The Multiverse
- Time travel could be possible, but only if our universe can allow multiple histories to coexist. So, can it?
- Quantum mechanics certainly seems to imply so, at least if you subscribe to Everett’s “many-worlds” interpretation, where one history can “split” into multiple histories, one for each possible measurement outcome.
- General relativity and quantum mechanics tell us that time travel might be possible, but if it is, then multiple histories must also be possible.

The narrowing of interests
Our modern society is the product of specialization. Albert Einstein may have been less able to come up with general relativity if he also had to grow his own food and sew his own clothes. Perhaps time constraints would have prevented him from reaching the depths of thinking required. If we e...
The paradoxes of quantum particles
Quantum particles can act as particles located in a single place, or they can act as waves that are distributed all over space or in several places at once.
How they appear seems to depend on how we choose to measure them. Before we measure, they seem to have no apparent p...
