Multiverse

I read an intriguing article today about a woman who woke up in another universe- this one. She claimed that almost everything was the same as it was the day before, except for a few inexplicable things.
She still lived in the same home she has been living in for the last 7 years. Only her bed linen seemed unfamiliar.
Her car was still parked in the same spot as where she usually parks it. Her job is still with the same company as she has worked with for a decade.
However, the department she works for is now in a different part of the building.


Even more shocking was the fact that her new boyfriend of four months no longer exists! No one by his name exists, he doesn't work or live where he used to, there's no record of him or his son ever having existed.
And even more annoying, her old boyfriend of seven years is still in the picture, just as if they never broke up in this reality! How horrible!!!


The strangest thing about this story is that according to the well educated woman, with no history of mental problems, this change wasn't because of some time slip event. According to the woman, the day she woke up in a different reality was simply the day after she went to bed in the old one. Year and date hadn't changed, and there were no major differences between the two realities. Well, except for the disappearance of the new beau and the return of the ex!


The article also mentions a case where a man appeared on a flight arriving in Tokyo airport in the early 90's. The man was detained at the airport when it was discovered that his passport had been issued by a non-existent country.
The man was angry and shocked and was convinced he was the target of some massive practical joke!
He claimed his European country had existed for over a thousand years. The caucasian man carried many legal European currencies, had an international driver's license and spoke several languages.
Finally some government officials took pity on him and put him up in a hotel room. Guards were posted at the door and the hotel room window had no ledge outside and was 15 stories above a busy downtown street.
Yet, the next morning the man was gone, never to be found again.


So what are these stories really about? Are we living in a multiverse? Are we randomly being transported from one to the other?
In the field of quantum physics some theorize that a universe is like an infinite bubble birthing new universes- new limitless bubbles, and time doesn't exist. Everything is just an eternity of NOW.
Yeah.... I can totally grasp the concept of that................ NOT!
But I like to torment my brain by thinking about it sometimes.


In my life I know of a few instances when reality has changed in a small way from one day to the next. Like I hear of a celebrity dying, who I'm conviced has been dead for a while already. But no one remembers that but me.
Or sometimes everyone seems to have a very strong opinion about a particular subject,and you've never heard anyone have any kind of opinion on that subject before!
I've been calling these things "reality updates" and for some reason I didn't get one. At least not at those times.
Interesting anyway. Very possibly many puzzle pieces here!
