Many Interacting Worlds

[Jochen Fromm-5]

What do you think of the "Many Interacting Worlds" theory? Russ shared it on Google+

http://bigthink.com/scotty-hendricks/a-new-hypothesis-suggests-that-parallel-universes-might-interact-after-all

The idea is that interactions between many interacting classical worlds lead to quantum effects in the visible world. In principle a particle that disappears in this world by some kind of pair annihilation or black hole could appear in another, or vice versa

It reminds me a bit of Lee Smolins book "The Life of the Cosmos" where multiple universes exist which are connected by black holes.

It's very difficult to form intuition about it, but until a better interpretation of Schroedinger's wave equation and other quantum mechanical concepts comes along (quite possible), I accept the multiverse interpretation as the best interpretation thereof. 

 

The quantum mechanical multiverse hypothesis as evangelized by David Deutsch is that the universe is an emerging property of the multiverse. The multiverse does not merely consist of universes, but there are other quantum mechanical properties that are not part of any single universe but are part of the multiverse.

In other words, according to this interpretation, amongst other properties, the multiverse consists of continuously interacting universes. 

Just for completion: there are two different kinds of hypotheses: the cosmological parallel universes and the quantum mechanical multiverse. I'm agnostic about the cosmological parallel universes with their parallel non-interacting universes.
