mulreay Posted November 13, 2009 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
swansont Posted November 14, 2009 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
