“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality” – Albert Einstein

Does the universe exist only because we are here to observe it? Is everything what it seems to be? Is what we see justifiable? At first the world was thought to be flat, earth was stationary at the center (Aristotle), introduction of the law of universal gravity by Newton and whether or not the universe was infinite in time and space. And how is it that Newton’s proposal of motion was expanded, where motion is relative in every way or that time was neither in fact absolute nor constant? Picture another world, a world of “what if”. Quantum mechanics come into place, where nothing is as it seems. There exists a parallel universe or perhaps multiple universes, where knowledge and our logic cannot enter. In fact all knowledge is limited and quantum is what is beyond our common sense. Everything we see and analyse are governed by probabilities rather than being 100% true.

In my creation are three different scenarios, where what is observed defies common sense and takes you into the world of quantum mechanics. Looking at the first scene, it appears that there is a bowling ball floating in the air, whereas the balloon lies still on the ground. Now of course it is odd that the bowling ball which carries a heavy mass on it could be neglecting the force of gravity and float in the air while the balloon which is expected to float in the air, be on the ground instead. This is where our senses are tricked. We see and observe things we expect in this so called “real world” which make sense to us although cannot see past other possibilities. Nothing is certain; such a thing does not exist. So while in “reality” we expect the bowling ball to be flat on the ground and the balloon floating in mid air, there’s is another world, another universe that states otherwise. We can relate to Schrödinger's thought experiment, while we see that the cat is alive, in another alternate universe it might be dead. What I have presented with the bowling ball and balloon defies common sense, presented in the alternate universe. It is beyond our expectations, beyond what we can logically point out and contains events which make no sense in our world.

In the second scene, we can see that it is nine o’clock in the morning (am) on a dark night where the moon is present. Again, this defies common sense since we’d expect it to be light outside and not night time at such a time (9h am). Much like the previous scene, this scene also welcomes you to the other world, which expects us to put aside our logic and critical thinking. What I have presented is like a taste in the quantum world, a parallel universe that goes against our judgment and reasoning.

For the last scene, we can see a snowman at the beach on a hot summer day. In all obviousness there’s no way a snowman can be in perfect condition without melting on such a hot day. Not only that but it seems unusual for a snowman to be at a beach, we’d expect him to be at a wintery cold day with lots of snow. Of course this is what we expect since our knowledge stops there, we do cannot think ahead into the quantum world. With those 3 scenes I have showed, it is a representation of not only the parallel universes that exist but possible initial thoughts of scientists. Just as Newton thought time was absolute, some scientist may have thought that a bowling ball would float in mid air whereas a balloon would sit still on the ground. I have tried to show or better yet recreate other possible thoughts of scientists before relativity and quantum, before everything was put into critical analysis.

Although, who is to say these three scenes are false? Listen up, nothing in our common sense is certain 100%, therefore these three representations do exist, in another world which is in fact quantum. So by knowing all this, it leads us to think, could Newton have been right with his theory on motion? Was Einstein right about his initial thought about time? Yes, perhaps, in the other parallel worlds which defy common sense... welcome to quantum!
