Contiguity of Parallel Worlds: Buddhist and Everett's
Аndrey Terentyev
Abstract
Niels Bohr himself pointed out to similarity of some philosophic approaches in quantum mechanics and in Buddhism. Some
modern interpretations of quantum mechanics go even closer to the Buddhist approach, such as Everett interpretation and,
specifically, the recent 'Extended Everett Concept' developed by M.B. Mensky. The present paper shows that both Buddhist
thinkers and modern physicists, using very different methods, arrived basically at the same description of reality we live in. This
is the point where the parallel worlds of Buddhism and Physics unexpectedly touched each other, and the deeper meaning of
this contact is yet to be appreciated by both parties.
