Quantum physicists have already proved the existence of at least several other quantum realities. There could easily be such a high number of uncountable other realities that coexist with our own, just at hitherto unknown vibrational frequencies. A theory among some quantum physicists are that everything that has ever happened and everything that will happen exist simultaneously.

Everytime we make a differenct choice-the other choice exists in another quantum reality. It is even speculated that psychics can subconsciously reach these other realities and be able to discern data from them.

Scientists have said that to travel at or beyond the speed of light would immediately cause the traveller to go backwards in time. Perhaps the incredible velocity and the subsequent energy it generates causes a break in the quantum-singularity. That enables the traveller to go backwards into time into separate quantum realities, where the past constantly exists, in its own separate realities, perhaps with far more different histories than what we are aware of.

Early research into breaking the light barrier has shown some encouraging results. Traditional science has said that the light speed barrier could never be breached, for it would take more energy than there was in the universe to move beyond the speed of light. Perhaps breaching the light speed barrier has something to do with accessing some of these quantum-singularities.

I remember reading, as a child, that if one could survive the incredible gravitational stresses of crossing the event horizon of a black hole, one could be flung into another universe, another possible time. Later, science fiction genre, such as "Deep Space Nine", popularized such things with "wormholes" into other universes. Could the black hole, from the incredible gravitational stresses of a collapsed star be a tear in the space-time contiuum-the quantum "fabric" separating other realities, so to speak? Perhaps even the dark matter of the universe is part of this quantum fabric; the "outer layers", so to speak of

Skeptics say you can't go into the past because it has already happened, the future because it hasn't happened yet. But the still-evolving science of quantum physics has proved them wrong. Everything that hasn't happened yet, everything that will exists in quantum realities. The quantum realities are simply undetectable and unaccessible by conventional science and technologies that have barely grasped sending probes to the outer planets.

But there is no "set" future-just an infinite series of possibilities that may or may not happen-along an understandable path. For you could change the future in this and other quantum realities simply by you or your 'quantum-copies' making any change in direction, such as you avoiding a corner where you would be hit by a truck. But the accident could happen in the other realities, science fiction has popularized as "parallel-universes". Even natural and man-made disasters could have different outcomes in other realities, just by changing the constant of the universe through a slight shifting of weather and earth stresses that could lead to different outcomes in other universes.
