10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Alternate Realities Are Real

2. The Double Slit Experiment

Okay, so if you want to get into the hard science of how multiple dimensions would work, here it is. According to quantum mechanics, which describes the motions and interactions of particles at a fundamental sub-atomic level, we have a good idea of how the universe works by observing the behaviours of electrons and photons. Which, apparently, can be in multiple places or multiple states of existence simultaneously. This is called superposition. That's kind of like the idea of alternate realities, right? It's a pretty simple test, provided you have the right materials. All you do is shoot a individual electrons through a sheet of a material with two vertical slits in it, and onto a blank white screen. There is a 50/50 chance the electron will go through each slit. You'll also get to see the electronic interacting, interfering each others...except only one is around at the time. So what's the deal? It's because the electron is existing in multiple places at the same time. Take that to a wider view, and you've got the many world theory in action.
