Are you in a Complex System?

A Complex System as I learned recently is a highly unpredictable and uncertain system in which parameters change with time not only by value but also in number. Such system can be modeled as a multi agent system where agents communicate with each other. These communications lead to sharing, reusing, and discovering knowledge. Knowledge here is not something pre-stored but something which emerges and evolves within the system.

Quantum Physics and Spellbinders

Co existence of many parallel universes or "multi verse" is a fundamental idea of quantum physics. Every object even i myself living on this earth in this universe is supposed to have counterparts in other parallel universes. Those counterparts of me are supposed to behave differently yet interfere with each other which is said "quantum interference". While I was going through this idea of Hue Everette (proposed in 1957) I felt the famous science fiction "Spellbinders" captures the same idea.

The questions are:

  1. Are parallel worlds that Spellbinders talk about and the multi verse in quantum physics the same?
  2. Is there any possibility to travel between the universes in the multi verse?
  3. Quantum computers - will they be a reality?

Practising Buddhism in day to day life

Buddhism is not to close your senses to the world. But open up mind wider and understand all what we see, hear, feel, think, and smell in their real form. Then we will find out that all what we sense is changing, we don't own them and not much to grab in greed.
