The Home Parallel Universe Test

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the it-is-indeed-a-test-for-something dept.

Sam Sachdev writes "David Deutsch, a physcicist at Oxford, has designed a home test for parallel universes. Using a pin, a red laser pointer, a piece of paper, and a relatively dark room, he claims that the results from this experiment confirm the existence of parallel universes." Okay, so it may not really be proof of parallel universes, but it's a fun trick to try with a laser pointer nonetheless.

    Fucking pussies! Go eat some back bacon and poutine, and drink beer that is really no stronger than ours!

  2. Looking For These Parallel Universes... by pandrijeczko · · Score: 0, Troll
    Assuming that a parallel universe exists for every conbination of every event that has occurred within our own universe, then if anybody manages to find these parallel universes and a way to get across to them, then please give me a call:

    1. The universe here Bill Gates' computer science tutor at university said "That's a crap piece of code, Bill. I'm putting you in the law degree class."

    2. The universe where Jon Bon Jovi hijacked Stevie Ray Vaughan's plane and got killed instead.

    3. The universe where Darl McBride wasn't dropped on his head as an infant.

    4. The universe where whenever you post something off-topic to Slashdot you get disconnected and...

  3. My own little experiment by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I have an experiment to detect Multiple Timelines.

    Tools needed:
    A notebook
    A Pen
    A penis (May not be required)
    A set of balls
    An attractive woman (You don't need to actually *know* the woman)

    Sit down at your desk (or equivelant) and write down an explicit sexual
    fantasy of yours with the Attractive Woman. Make sure to include all
    of your nuaghtiest fantasies!

    Sit down and think over and over again "I think I can, I think I can,
    I think I can, I think I can..." for an hour. Any less and it just might
    NOT work.

    Now, this is where your balls comes in to play. Approach the Attractive
    Woman and ask her if she'd be willing to interact with you in the same fashion
    as outlined in your Naughty Fantasy Report. She is supposed to say "Yes" right?
    Of course, she is! That's the way women work... right?

    If she says "No" the answer is obvious. According to the Farmer Ted paradox,
    she altered the course of your Timeline by shooting you down in cold blood.

    And, if she say's "YES!" there is proof, as crystal clear as the computer monitor I am
    looking at, that there is a GOD! And, he loves you very much. So, it's a Win/Win situation either way.

    And, that my friends, is the Paradox.
