If quantum particles can move to other universes, can macroscopic things move?

In summary, the conversation is about the possibility of macroscopic objects, such as books or humans, traveling to another universe like quantum particles. The idea is questioned due to the principles of energy conservation and the lack of evidence for other universes. The many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is mentioned as a possible source of this idea.

I was just wondering if macroscopic things like a book or even a human can travel to another universe, like quantum particles.

What makes you think that ANYTHING can "move to another universe"

Quantum particles can't. Where are you getting this from?

The way you're putting it sounds like its suggested that energy/mass disappears from "our universe", breaking energy conservation. The many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which you've probably gotten this idea from, doesn't allow anything like this, as doesn't any other serious physical theory. There are probably many threads here that clarify the many-worlds interpretation of QM, use the search feature to find some.

A very problematic question to answer, since we don't know if there are other universes. (the quantum aspect has already been answered by others above)
 

1. Can macroscopic things really move to other universes?

No, the concept of macroscopic objects moving to other universes is purely theoretical and has not been scientifically proven. It is based on the principles of quantum mechanics, which is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of particles at a very small scale.

2. How is it possible for macroscopic objects to exist in multiple universes at the same time?

According to the theory of quantum mechanics, particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, a phenomenon known as superposition. This means that at a microscopic level, it is possible for particles to exist in multiple universes at the same time. However, this does not necessarily apply to macroscopic objects.

3. Are there any experiments that have been conducted to test the theory of macroscopic objects moving to other universes?

No, there have been no experiments that have directly tested the concept of macroscopic objects moving to other universes. This is because the technology to observe particles at a quantum level is not yet advanced enough to observe such phenomena.

4. What evidence supports the idea of macroscopic objects moving to other universes?

The concept of macroscopic objects moving to other universes is purely theoretical and is based on calculations and interpretations of quantum mechanics. There is currently no empirical evidence to support this idea.

5. Could the concept of macroscopic objects moving to other universes have any practical applications?

At this point, there are no known practical applications for the concept of macroscopic objects moving to other universes. However, the study of quantum mechanics and its principles has led to many technological advancements, so it is possible that in the future, this concept could have practical uses.
