VoDou Physics: Exploring Tony Smith's Manyworlds Theory

In summary, Tony Smith is a mathematician who has a website on VoDou Physics, which is part of the manyworlds theory. While some may consider him a fringe scientist, he is not a crackpot and has well thought out ideas. However, there has been controversy over his credentials and whether he should be published on arxiv.

I was looking for some information on David Bohm and Brownian Motion when I came across a website on a thing called VoDou Physics. The man who put the site up is named Tony Smith. He states that it is part of the manyworlds theory and he has tons of pretty well thought out ideas. Has anybody heard of this branch, and have any comments on it validity? check out his website at:

T Smith is a bit of a fringe scientist, but he is not really a crackpot. He's more of a mathematician and likes to play around with group theory to construct higher dimensional operators in field theory.

Some of his friends however are crackpots, so he's one of those who is like borderline, yet still very smart. I think there was some controversy over whether arxiv should accept him for published materials, considering the fact that his credentials are ok, but wasn't working for academia.

VoDou Physics, as described by Tony Smith, is an interesting concept that explores the possibility of multiple parallel universes and the interconnectedness of all things. Smith's ideas are based on the manyworlds theory, which suggests that every possible outcome of a decision or event creates its own separate universe. This theory has been around for decades and has been debated among physicists and philosophers.

While Smith's website provides a comprehensive and well-researched explanation of his theories, it is important to note that they are still just theories and have not been proven. The concept of parallel universes is a complex one and is still being studied and explored by scientists. Therefore, it is important to approach these ideas with an open mind and to not take them as absolute truth.

That being said, Smith's ideas do offer an interesting perspective and can spark further discussions and debates on the nature of reality and the universe. It is always beneficial to explore different theories and ideas, as they can lead to new discoveries and advancements in the field of physics.

In terms of validity, it is ultimately up to each individual to decide for themselves. While some may find Smith's ideas compelling and thought-provoking, others may not fully agree with them. It is important to approach these concepts with a critical mindset and to do further research and study before forming a solid opinion.

Thank you for sharing this information and providing the link to Smith's website. It is always fascinating to learn about different theories and ideas in the world of physics.
 

What is VoDou Physics?

VoDou Physics is a theoretical framework that combines elements of traditional physics with the concept of manyworlds proposed by physicist Tony Smith. It suggests that our universe is just one of many parallel universes, and that these universes interact with and affect each other.

Who is Tony Smith?

Tony Smith was an American physicist who proposed the concept of manyworlds in the 1960s. He believed that this theory could help explain the strange phenomena observed in quantum mechanics, such as particles appearing in multiple places at once.

How does VoDou Physics differ from traditional physics?

Traditional physics focuses on a single universe and seeks to explain the laws and behavior of our universe. VoDou Physics, on the other hand, considers the existence of multiple parallel universes and how they interact with each other.

Is there any evidence to support the concept of manyworlds?

At this time, there is no direct evidence to support the concept of manyworlds. However, some physicists believe that it could help explain certain quantum phenomena that are difficult to understand within traditional physics.

What are the potential implications of VoDou Physics?

If the concept of manyworlds is proven to be true, it could fundamentally change our understanding of the universe and how it operates. It could also have practical applications, such as in quantum computing and communication.
