According to some theories of quantum physics, there are infinite parallel universes that we can’t see or interact with. But what if, from time to time, that’s not true? The idea of parallel universes has saturated pop culture, and there’s not shortage of internet lore surrounding the concept. But there’s one parallel universe story that stands above the rest.

    This is quite strange “Negusie- Habsie “ makes meaning in Amharic. Negusie- ንጉሴ meaning a king/ my king and Habasi similar to the word Habesha ( the name given the people of Ethiopia). Considering, Ethiopia is south of Shara this might refer to Ethiopia.

    So 1 singular event with infinite possibilities? The earth may be infinite but remains in the same position in all space time. suggesting some sort of universal frequency or alliance of energry temporarily connecting our dimensions. Allowing interference of action and inaction to exist. Like a cabin from 150 years ago. And the ability to interphere. Im curious if the all working parts of her body remained in our world and if all the temporarily paralyzed parts entered the dimension.

    Wait. How the HECK did you know i carved that exact S symbol at all my desks in highschool. They even brought me into the office about it after doing a bit a research and seeing that I was the only person who sat at all of those desks.

    in my universe in 1980 i began a school desktop craze to produce the Roger Dean Yes logo & although during the period in England when Prog was very unfashionable it kinda gained traction probably because it’s style was cool & because it didn’t require any complicated straight lines like Judas Priest or Kiss .

    Lemme see if I understand – Lady has a stroke while camping, eventually sees a doctor and makes up a nutty story which is retold a couple of times until this guy Joe gets a hold of it and runs with it. Might have been more believable if it had been a stone building with some Inca dancing and/or counting on their quipu (counting beads).

    Just read Bhagwadgita..

    Arjuna: O Krishna! I am so stressed, I can't handle this war. I wanna escape from this agony!

    Krishna: You are worried about this life in this Universe. What about your life in other universes??

    Actually, theoretically, there is a limited number of multiple realities and each if formed depending on the coexisting decisions of all the people in it and also according to the overall negative or positive outcomes within that universe, because the reality where you chose to eat eggs instead of waffles for breakfast is very likely to be able to happen in a reality where Germany won WWII, so not every decision will create an alternate universe, they will simply exist in another one that does exist.

    You would be a really popular teacher on some weird school somewhere. Making stuff believable is a powerful skill. Do not wait for some time traveler coming to see you. Stick to the real world.

    Speaking of parallel
    Why Files did this about a year or more ago.

    The parallel universes based on every conscious free will decision a human and every human makes is super egocentric and very much Sci Fi and Comic fiction. Science has unfortunately been merging with fantasy fiction over the past three decades.

    It is quite a leap from quantum mechanic superposition to I built a new universe because I cut wind 5 minutes ago

    Why is this called “the most convincing parallel universe story”, but you debunked it within the video?! That’s not convincing at all.

    The other night, I had this dream where it was someplace very familiar to me. I knew, yeah, everyone in the dream, but not from my current life. And even knew the words to all the songs they were playing, but the songs were not from my life. when I was awoken, I want it so bad to go back to that dream and the more I think about it, the more I think that I had or have another life.

    I like Joe’s channel and I’m a regular listener but I can’t help. Think of Joe is living in his parents basement spinning around in that chair doing his little podcasts. In reality he probably makes a lot of money with millions of subscribers😅

    i had a weird episode very similar to the one on intersterllar movie were books fell off the shelves. I was working at home sitting in the couch, not sure why i started thinking about my granny and how much i missed her. All windows closed not wind at all, an entire bookshelve fell off as im thinking about her. Side note she was a teacher and loved books, i have many of hers at home.

    My dad told me, that in 1948, when he was nine years, a bolt of lightening struck the ground near him in rural Kansas. He claimed, that as he look at the spot where the lighting bolt struck, he observed a small church with horse drawn buggies in the court yard. He stated that the people in the buggies, and attending the horses, all turned to look at him with a look of horror on their faces. The horses started to get skittish, then the scene faded away. He thought it was real. There was no remnant of a church in that spot.

    Ok don't think I'm nuts because it was something that also involved my girlfriend and I as we were discussing getting married. ( we did ) Anyway I was working for the Detroit free press at the time and was working on Gelblater Island. So we took a long ride their so I could show her this very cool island as we discussed things. So anyway we pulled over on this cement pier that looked pretty modern their was an extreamy good looking young man their , (which is something I've never said about any man ever ) He was alone ) So we let him in our car as he was waiting for this ship. We were telling him that we were discussing the possibly of getting married. He said he was working on a ship and had just left his wife . He was telling us how great marrige was for about 1/2 hour. So after a while he got out of our car we said good bye and left , made a u turn on this very large cement pier and he was gone. Their really was no where to go in the few seconds this u turn took. (Never saw any ship or him again)
    So during the divorce (13 years later)
    I took a ride their looking for this dock. The people who lived their told me theirs no dock here on this island and never was . Hummm
    Where did it go ? This dock was only about a mile from this old church which we also went to after this event. Its still their. Could it have been a parallel universe ? Who knows . My X would confirm this story. I'm still bewildered by it today.

    One of my favourite mysteries, really. Thanks for the British impressions,, pretty good. Love from over the pond. Andorra is tiny, words of advice to anyone who does the drive from France up to Andorra, do it in the day time and make sure your brakes are good!
