What is the shoebox experiment illustrating parallel universes?

HELP with shoebox experiment?

i don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question but i remember this experiment a fellow sudent presented, in which you shine a flashlight into a shoebox and it shows the possibility of other dimensions or a parallel universe. i was just wondering the name of this experiment or any other information. thank you for your help and I am sorry for my ignorance i may have shown through this post.

Never apologize for a lack of knowledge. Guys like you are why the rest of us are here. Unfortunately, I cannot, without a lot more clarification, understand what it is that you want answered. I have never heard of a 'shoebox' experiment.

well the project he presented which i faintly remember. he shined a light through slits or a single hole on a shoebox, but i imagine you could use any type of box, and it showed in some way an anomaly that could be interpreted as another dimension or a parallel universe in which someone one is doing the same experiment and that is the cause of the disturbance. again sorry if I am way off about all this but this is what i remember the explanation being. if anyone can help me with more info or correct me if I am wrong on some detsails. thank you

Sounds similar to a pinhole camera, which creates an inverted image on the film IIRC. Not sure how it would do anything special with a flashlight though...

Yeah, this is a weird one. I'm wondering if maybe it's a dual-slit demonstration of EM wave interference.

if this is the double slit experiment for particles...maybe you are referring to the multi-verse interpretation of quantum mechanics?
