Multiverse: Behind-Mirrors Parallel Worlds Part 8 What if I told you that the theory of parallel worlds has far more interpretations than you currently know? And that such views have long been described in the earliest religious texts. Moreover, the theory of parallel worlds is actually a set of forgotten knowledge that modern physics is only beginning to uncover the key to. This concept, which once cost the Italian thinker Giordano Bruno his life, has always attracted the attention of scientists and philosophers. Vladimir Arshinov, Doctor of Philosophical Sciences and head of the Interdisciplinary Problems of Scientific and Technical Development Sector at the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believed that parallel worlds not only could exist but also vary in their manifestations. According to Arshinov, the key to understanding alternative existence was related to the concept of the "fifth dimension," which adds to the three spatial dimensions and the fourth dimension - time. However, he clarified that modern world models suggest the existence of many more dimensions - 11, 26, or even 267. These dimensions are not directly observable but are present around us in a curled-up form. In a multi - dimensional space, things that seem incredible in our ordinary world become possible. Arshinov posited that other worlds could represent different variants of reality, such as a "mirror world," where truth and falsehood switch places. Furthermore, he considered the possibility of traveling between parallel worlds through a certain "mirror" dimension (such as Kozirev’s or Khlebnikov’s mirrors; see the note "How to Build a Time Machine: Final Report"), which could theoretically allow movement through time and space. However, the key question remained: is it possible to "touch" or see these parallel worlds? Arshinov hypothesized that if a reality with mirror-like dimensions exists, then entering it could enable movement through space and time with minimal effort. Returning to our world would be akin to using a time machine. The existing laws of physics do not exclude the possibility of connecting parallel worlds via quantum tunneling, which could theoretically allow transitions from one world to another without violating the law of conservation of energy. Yet, such a transition would require an enormous amount of energy. Or perhaps not? Another possibility suggested that pathways to parallel worlds could be hidden within "black holes," which might actually be "wormholes" - pathways from one world to another. Vladimir Surdin, Senior Researcher at the P. Sternberg Astronomical Institute, and Dmitry Galtzov, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Professor at Moscow State University, argued that mathematics allows for the existence of such "wormholes," although they have yet to be discovered. The multiverse theory, although still a model at this stage, offers an intriguing explanation for many mysterious phenomena. If parallel worlds exist and are inhabited, this sheds light on various paranormal phenomena I have written about. However, as Alexander Bolonkin, another researcher of parallel worlds, emphasized - who is a Doctor of Technical Sciences and Professor - there is currently no scientific proof of the existence of parallel worlds. Yuri Gnedin, Deputy Director of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was, on the contrary, convinced that the theory of the existence of parallel universes was possible and based on scientific results. He noted that each of these universes could be inhabited, but the problem lay in the lack of means to communicate with them. Thus, the idea of parallel worlds continues to captivate the minds of scientists and philosophers, offering both new perspectives for understanding the universe and new mysteries to be solved.
