Physicist Says There's a Small Chance You'll Wake Up on Mars Tomorrow Due to Quantum Physics

The theory of multiple universes is one of the reasons why Michio Kaku gives his students a thought experiment.

In a New York Times column, Kaku wrote about the wonders of quantum physics, which pits the possible versus the likely.

The Heisenberg's uncertainty principle allows for a small chance that we can exist on distant places like Mars.

There's a chance that our quantum wave will wind up in space-time.

Reality Bites

You would have to wait longer than the lifetime of the universe if you wanted to wake up on Mars.

There is a chance. The British geneticist J.B.S. Haldane said that reality is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can imagine.

It is extremely unlikely that you will wake up on Mars tomorrow.

The New York Times has a story about a parallel universe.

The experiment suggests that consciousness may be tied to quantum physics.
