Versions of You in Other Universes May Be Subtly Affecting Your Destiny, Oxford Physicist Says
Summary: Have you ever felt like someone else is pulling your strings? Oxford physicist Vlatko Vedral says you might be right! Many people think that just by looking at things, human minds can change how the universe works. But Vedral says this is backward. Instead, tiny bits of energy and matter bump into each other and force reality to happen. When this happens, it actually changes you. Every time a tiny interaction happens—like light hitting your sunglasses—reality splits. This means there are endless versions of you living in parallel universes right now. So, somewhere out there, another you is living a perfect life, while the you in this universe is just trying to get through the day!
