Parallel Universes

As of today, most people have heard of parallel universes, but very few people actually believe in them or understand what some physicists mean by this concept. In attempts to prove that parallel universes affect and have a tremendous impact on your day-to-day life, physicists have created visual examples to not only give you a better idea of what our universe looks like, but to get you involved and interested in this strange facet of scientific discovery that the continuity of life itself, may someday be dependant upon. At the time being, the most dominant, and well known descriptions that scientists give to visually describe the universe, exemplifies the universe as well as parallel universes, as they would look if they were in a state of being a systemic field, said to be exclusively analog. Illustrations of a smooth surface membrane perhaps doughnut-shaped, cylindrical, or even looped work just fine on a relativistic scale, and does not even contradict but actually supports and strengthens the illusion of a universe that appears to be infinite. So on a super macroscopic level the universe does indeed seem to exist in an analog state, but, the fact of the matter is, that we can speculate all we want about the shape of our universe, but if we’re never able to actually step outside of and view our universe as well of these other parallel universes vicariously, then it doesn’t even matter what shape our universe is. The physicists who  have made these predictions, such as Stephen Hawking, are obviously on the wrong path, and this is becoming more and more obvious as physicists such as, Leonard Susskind of Stanford University, who has disproven Hawking’s original theory about black holes and found an answer to the black hole information paradox, continue to shed light on the true nature of reality. So then what is our universe and where does the state of the analog stand when the illusion of what seems to be a reality has now become digital?
First, let’s say that the universe that you presently live in is analog. The universe as well as parallel universes can be described as being abstract shapes, with our own universe supposedly being doughnut-shaped, as well as other parallels, and some might be cylindrical in shape or even looped. It appears that we are all living in giant cosmic amoeba’s, floating around in some strange void or dark field of nothingness. The truth is, that while Scientists hypothesize about what our universe really looks like, we are still uncertain, and to this date there is no existing theory that provides literally, a factual description, of what our universe really looks like, or where it came from. All of these abstract descriptions and hypotheses are attempts to explain the theories of equated mathematical derivations that represent the building blocks that form the foundation of modern physics.
String theory, the theoretical framework for quantum gravity, is probably the most important branch of physics today. It is an attempt to find the effect of gravity on sub-atomic particles. It is in part the reason why the Large Hadron Collider was constructed, and physicists hope that they shall soon find the undiscovered graviton, (a particle predicted by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity) as well as the Higgs-boson, also known as the “god particle”. If discovered the graviton will give physicists enough information about the gravitational effects of sub-atomic particles, and most likely, succeed in their efforts to combine General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics, ultimately giving birth to a Unified Field Theory, or Theory of Everything. Now, string theory has recently mutated into a new theory called, M- Theory, the theory where the strings (the supposed building blocks of sub-atomic particles) are stretched and combined forming what is referred to as a membrane. A membrane is just a prime example of an abstract description of appearance referring to an analog universe.
Now, what if we look at our universe as being digital, or granular and made up of bits, then the concept of a parallel universe completely mirrors its sister image, that being the idea of giant, doughnut-shaped membranes floating through some higher dimension, while housing everything we know to exist in the known universe. This is where we enter the world of the bizarre, and where the traditional ideals and the soft conceptual imagery of these visually pleasing analogous forms, suddenly begin to take on entirely different meanings. The best way to understand and comprehend this the through the ontological notions and autonomous movement of a digital being in a digital world, but the easiest way to illustrate the concept of a parallel universe and how they can exist digitally is shown as a difference or variation in a system of bits, as taught by Professor Leonard Susskind of Stanford University. In a completely non-mathematical and abstract approach to unlocking the secrets of parallel universes, I’ll use a system which might be for example: 10001101010 and say that it represent’s what I have elected to call, the state of the cause and, the state of the effect in which the presently specified universe is being experienced. This eleven bit system can not only be used to represent the state of experience in a universe, but may quite possibly be capable of illustrating why the particular universe exists. Now look at 10001101011, which represent’s a very similar, but inevitably, different universe. To you, actually being in the universe, this variation of bits in the system may be perceived as an infinitesimally small, or even a completely unnoticeable change or fluctuation in what you refer to as “your reality”. Perhaps with a little use of the imagination the varying bit can be seen as a representation that indicates that the state of cause in the first universe has changed and is now turning into another state of effect in the second universe, while the original state of effect has stayed exactly the same. This gives the second universe two states of effect, but no states of cause. As a result, this forces us to realize the existence of a third universe that directly mirrors the states, that of experience, being cause and effect, in the first universe. If we use the letter A to represent the state of “cause” in a universe, and the letter B to represent the state of “effect”, with { } symbolizing the first universe, ( ) the second, and [ ] the third, then the correct arrangement used to illustrate a single bit variation in two nearly identical eleven bit systems, and for explaining the change in the universal experience of this affect cause, should look like this: {A(B}[B)A]*.
