This is a post I just made that I think shoots down the theory of parallel universes. In the thread Movement of electrons in atomic orbitals . I think the idea of this meaning that there are not parallel universes from this theory could get to be off topic, so if you would like to comment on if it means there are or not parallel universes then feel free to comment here.
Well, like anyone, you are free to speculate, but little of what you say here bears much resemblance to the current QM model of electrons in an atom or molecule.
If you take a look at the wiki on
Superluminal Communication you will find that one theory or experiment that shows this is
Evanescent Wave Coupling . I think the electron wave in the orbitals of the atom would be a form of
Evanescent Wave Coupling .
To take one instance, electronic transitions between orbitals do not involve any "vanishing".
I don't agree, this theory is based off of
spectral lines.
As you can see there are gaps in the
spectral lines so that the orbitals where there are not electrons they do not create
spectral lines. It is as though the electron does not exist at these ranges where it could then create
spectral lines in the gaps between the lines that it does actually create. The theory behind what causes these
spectral lines has changed but the fact remains that
spectral lines still do occur and is what is seen from experiment.
The electron eigenfunction couples to the oscillating field of the photon being absorbed or emitted and the transition takes a finite time to occur, described throughout the process by the time-dependent form of the Schroedinger equation (as opposed to the time-independent one, which describes stable states).
This is also the same equation that has been attributed to leading to alternate universes. But then the "universes" where electrons could exist between different orbitals don't ever exist, this is why I often preferred the
Copenhagen Interpretation . The electron can never be found between orbitals via any type of experiment, ever. If the
Schrodinger Equation says that there should be electrons between orbitals then it would seem like it would be incomplete. It would be accounting for things that are happening that actually never do. We haven't ever seen decoherence from a universe that has
spectral lines to a "universe" where there was not
spectral lines. It is a consistent result of experiment.
