An Alternate Reality

My sister is fanatical about physics and anything I know about the subject is all credit to her and the lousy physics teachers I had at high school....

According to a physics theory, there are multiple universes and in each universe an alternate realty of our existence is at play. I think this is called the 'Multiverse Theory', I may be wrong on the name (in another universe, I would have no doubt or I may choose a different name for the theory, etc. etc.). When I first heard of this theory, I scoffed.

To me science and math is all about evidence. A theory is only a theory if it cannot be proven. I cannot think of any way that the Multiverse Theory can be tested or proved and so, how can this even be a physics theory?

However, since my Dad died I want this theory to be true. As a Muslim, I believe that people go when it's their time and I think that this would still be the case in the other alternate realties. But I hope my Dad would have enjoyed better health in those realties, he would never have smoked, he would have taken better care of his health.

I so wish a person's end of life didn't have to be so painful or traumatic. A part of me wishes we all knew when it was our last day and the day before we would arrange a farewell part; it wouldn't be sad, it would just be a 'see you on the flip side guys!' No one would be sad cause they know there was no pain and that they would know they would be reunited when it was their time to go.

I think another painful part of death is the fear of the unknown; we have no idea what happens when someone dies. Do they completely cease to exist or do their spirits live on; are they in constant turmoil? If they are buried, do they feel us walking on the ground? Can they see us living our lives? Do they want to communicate with us? Do they feel sad? Do they miss us? I guess one day I will have my answers, but till then I will learn to live with my Dad no longer being around....
