Can someone explain the experiment simply. Are there any other explaination besides parallel universes? How long will take to prove that there are parallel universes with a certainty? If you google Neutrons escaping to a parallel world you will get the article.
No parallel universe has ever been discovered. It's impossible to determine how long it will take to prove anything, especially parallel universes. Note: In physics, hypotheses aren't proven. At best experiments are done whose results are consistent with the hypothesis. The more experiments like that the more it becomes accepted.
I still think that there are only four dimensions, three spatial and one temporal. The others are hypothetical.
Experimental physics is tough. If you don't push the evelope of what is possible and what has been done before, then you don't learn anything. If you do something no one has done before, you don't have waypoints to know that you are doing it right. Two types of results are possible: you find it impossible to rule out the prevailing theory, or you discover an "anomaly" with respect to the prevailing theory. The latter is exciting, but can also simply mean something went wrong and your experiment didn't measure what you thought it measured. To propose a new theory to explain the anomaly of a single, unreplicated experimentalist team seems sensationalistic, unorthodox and premature. http://dx.doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-012-1974-5
I came here with kind of a question, and this seems about as good a place to post it as any. I've been thinking about how to visualize multiple dimensions, and the following has occurred to me: "Dimension" is another word for "measurement". For instance "what are your dimensions?" And when trying to reconcile physical forces, physicists determine that in order to make it work there need to be additional dimensions - an additional variable assigned to each object. It seems to me that these additional dimensions are additional measurements objects possess. There are not additional dimensions "out there". We, as objects, possess these additional dimensions. But they're measurements we have a hard time conceptualizing because they're things we don't typically perceive in ourselves or in other objects. I, as an object, have gravity. I have magnetism. I have radiation. I have a value that can be measured that you'd assign to each of these forces. And my measurements in these forces change as I move through time. And just as I move along the X, Y and Z axises, I also move through a gravity axis, and a magnetism axis, and a radiation axis. It seems to me that this is what must be meant when they say there are 11 dimensions, or whatever. The whole issue arises because they're trying to reconcile forces, and it's the forces, themselves, that provide the additional dimension. And that doesn't mean there are parallel universes. Just because these values are variable doesn't mean that any one object possesses more than one value. It just means we're moving along other axises than the ones we normally perceive.
