The science behind ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” won seven awards at the Oscars on Sunday, and although it’s science fiction, the movie’s plot combines two physicist-backed theories about the multiverse.

The award-winning film focuses on Evelyn Wang (played by Michelle Yeoh), who must connect to parallel universe versions of herself to stop a powerful being from destroying the multiverse.

The multiverse is a theory that our universe may not be the only one, but one of an infinite number of parallel universes that contain infinite versions of ourselves.

The makers of the film said they took inspiration from the many-worlds interpretation and the cosmic bubble theory.

One suggests that when you decide, you split the universe in two, and the other goes back to when the universe came into existence during the big bang 13.8 billion years ago.

‘Everything All At Once’ is written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who call themselves the Daniels.

In an interview with the New York Timesthe Daniels reveal how the film combines the two multiverse theories.

“It’s fun to imagine both versions,” Kwan said. “Both point to infinity or just point to the unknown.”

The many-worlds interpretation supports the idea that there are multiple versions of ourselves, which various physicists from well-known research centers, such as Oxford University and MIT, have created.

The concept was invented in the late 1950s by Hugh Everett, who developed the idea for his thesis.

This interpretation proposes that any event can have more than one outcome, causing reality to fragment and branch out to create new universes where alternate events take place.

Max Tegmark, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a proponent of the idea, explained The Washington Post“I actually try to think, if I get a parking ticket, ‘Hey, there’s another version of a parallel universe where I didn’t get a parking ticket,’ so that I can feel a little better.” And there’s another version where my car was towed away.’

The cosmic bubble suggests that since the universe expanded at an extraordinary rate after the big bang, it created quantum fluctuations that created separate bubble universes that evolved in their own way.

Speaking to the New York Times, the Daniels said the movie is less about physics and more about how physics makes you feel.

“If you could see alternate lives, that would be — that would send you into a spiral,” Scheinert said.

“It would send each of us into a spiral, like lives you could have lived and choices you could have made.”

The film focuses on Evelyn, a middle-aged Chinese immigrant who owns a laundromat controlled by the IRS.

She and her husband, Waymond (played by Ke Huy Quan), go to an IRS building to discuss the matter.

While there, Waymond is controlled by a version of himself from another world – the Alpha-Verse.

The Alpha-Verse was the first to develop technology to track the direction of the other universes and the ability to mentally tap into the different parts of the multiverse.

The Alpha-Waymond gives Evelyn a device to jump into Evelyn’s mind from other realities.

And the ability to jump through worlds was presented by Burt Goldman, a self-proclaimed spiritual master and energy healer.

Goldman created this as a self-help technique, believing that people can shift their consciousness to access other realities and change their lives.

Physicist Cynthia Sue Larson has written the book Quantum Jumps: An Extraordinary Science of Happiness and Prosperity.

Larson proposes a similar idea that coincides with her “paradigm shift” theory that we exist in an interconnected holographic multiverse.

Many scientists have resisted the concept of infinite universes because no one has found a way to measure the idea.

Geraint Lewis Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Sydney, Australia and author of ‘Where Did the Universe Come From? And other cosmic questions, told Forbes: ‘Once we get the math down, we’ll have a chance to see if we can detect the presence of other universes… currently we have no idea what path we’re on.’
