Not everyone wants to be happy
According to Scientific American, not everyone aspires to what might be called a self-centred type of happiness. Eastern cultures prefer social harmony - getting on with others rather than bettering them. Of course happiness through competition is almost a national religion in New Zealand, one feature of our culture that I particularly dislike. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/not-everyone-wants-to-be-happy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Everything List group.

Why not particles? But then you are heading toward Bohm-de Broglie type of non local hidden variable, which seems to me adding more mystery than solving one. I base my thinking on double-slit experiments where a single photon is transmitted at any one time and the detectors are set to record photons having the original energy/frequency. The experimental results indicate that only one photon is detected per one incident photon. With enough single-photon detections the interference pattern can be discerned at the detector plane. Yet EM theory suggests that the photon energy is spread across the entire interference pattern. So never mind what might be happening in other worlds, what makes all of the photon energy suddenly appear at just one detector. I certainly reject the idea that human consciousness makes all waves collapse into one. But I have a different idea that may or may not make sense. My conjecture is that the EM fields (or in general the wave functions in any particle-particle interaction) are entangled as though they are BECs. Experiments demonstrate that entangled BECs transmit information instantly between isolated but entangled BECs. If so, even if the photon energy is spread out across the entire pattern, the information of where the photon energy should go is available to the entire EM field. That does not allow you to predict where any particular photon detection will occur. But the instantaneous transfer of information may allow for a single photon detection for each transmitted photon. The alternative in single-photon experiments would be no detections at all since the EM field on any particular detector is insufficient to create a detection. If anyone buys this, I can also speculate on how wave functions could be BECs or act like them. Richard Because of quantum theory the interaction energy may or may not exceed particle-creation level.

Re: Do parallel universes really exist, and interact
Chris, let me reflect to '2' words. (I never studied QM, have some glimpse as a polymer chemist, so I do NOT argue against the theory) 1. *Parallel * In what sense are 'universes' compared to be deemed parallel? I presume in my agnostic views that there may be many more visions in which 2 systems may be deemed parallel (or: antiparallel?) They may diverge in time, spacial extension, forcefields, lifespan, etc. etc. In my narrative (I never called it a 'theory') the perfectly symmetrical and equilibrated Plenitude (imaginary vision of Everything in balance) there are inevitably items getting grouped together in a way that violates the perfect symmetrical distribution (complexities?) and I called those 'universes'. They re-dissipate into the perfect symmetry right as they formed (in our case: viewed from the INSIDE as a long long time in our Space-Time views). Such 'universes' have different compositions according to the items forming them, at least I did not project/propose any rules to their composition. We know nothing about the Plenitude (word taken from Plato). 2.a quote from the URL:* 'microscopic'* *(Quantum theory is needed to explain how the universe works at the microscopic scale, and is believed to apply to all matter.) * 'Microscopic to what? to our human sizes? to the sub-Planck, or the galaxy-size extensions?
