To expound on my beliefs post a couple days ago, I brought up an image of a tapestry and mentioned on how the Many Worlds Interpretation lends itself well to that image. I also said I would cover that later, since that particular post was getting rather long, so here's the continuation of that post.
Previously, I likened each life to a thread within a tapestry. Each thread interacts differently with each other thread, and the tapestry is infinite in its ever growing complexity. However, since each thread is made up of smaller thread woven together, it could be argued that each thread is a tapestry all its own. On that regard, could it also be that each thread contains all the knowledge of an entire universe?
So, let us picture an entire universe as a single thread. Every bit of knowledge about, and contained within, that universe, is now a single thread. Surrounding that thread, there are other threads, each representing their own universe. Suddenly, your tapestry becomes a representation of a thousand, thousand universes. Each thread intertwines and interacts with each other, mimicking the interactions of each solitary life in our universe tapestry.
For the sake of this discussion, I will refer to the tapestry containing the knowledge of a universe as UT ( Universe Tapestry) and the complete tapestry of a thousand, thousand universes as MT (Multiverse Tapestry). It will be necessary to reference these as such, since my thought process starts to get far more confusing beyond this point.
Given what I know about tapestries and thread (not much beyond what I've detailed, I'll admit), it seems possible that a wisp of a thread from a thread becomes untangled. From the view of the MT, this wisp of a thread represents a single life out of the UT. Over time, this wisp tangles itself around the thread directly adjacent to its home UT, representing a bridge between the threads. Thus, given how each thread in the MT is a possibility within time, it would be possible for the wisp (or even other wisps) to travel between the two thread, through the bridge created by the wisp entangling itself.
How to take advantage of that entanglement is more complicated. With what we know about Quantum Entanglement, we know it's possible for two atoms to be entangled with each other, allowing the state of one to be read through the other. Extrapolating along the line I've already hypothesized, if each universe resides next to, above, and around another, would it be possible to entangle an atom from one thread with one in another? Accomplishing that, we would be able to create a permanent bridge between two distinct worlds, allowing the wisp from Thread A to travel to Thread B and back, as long as the entanglement persists.
Which asks another question: if an atom is entangled with another atom in a separate universe, is it possible that the entanglement is frozen in time, allowing the wisp to enter Thread B from Thread A at the same, exact time, every time? We know very little about time and how the universe perceives it. For all we know, time is simply a construct created by our minds to explain our own mortality. With that line of thought, time would not be anything more than a self-imposed limitation, which would allow us to enter Thread B at any time, so long as we were able to interpret the flow of the thread and interact with it at the right location.
Following that, as long as we have a device capable of reading the flow of a thread, we would be able to travel to any time or place within that thread, so long as the entanglement persists between the threads. However, this theory hinges on the fact that time is only a perception, rather than a law. I would have to reevaluate this theory if proof to the contrary arises.
At any rate, this is all just a product of my bored musings. Whether it is accurate or not probably will never be discovered, so it is up to you, my esteemed readers, to decide for yourself whether this exposition resonates with you or not.
