Have you ever thought that other worlds exist within the same confines of spacetime that ours does? Prolly not, but Alea alluded to such a possibility last night. It results from disparate thoughts, but nonetheless may be possible.

First, superstring theory portends that all matter can be broken down into units of energy, and the differences in matter only arise due to the varying vibrations of those units, like musical notes. Just as certain organisms are only tuned in to a specific auditory range, we humans in our natural state may be tuned in to only some range or type of these vibrations. Perhaps there are types of matter that we are utterly unaware of, and further, cannot know.

Second, there are incredible advances almost daily in subatomic physics and indeed there are particles that exist that we would not encounter humanly, per se, discovered only through clever experiments and manipulation, such as neutrinos and muons, and their corresponding antiparticles. In fact, as you read this, billions of neutrinos are passing through your body, ejected from the sun and en route to some unknown destination.

Third, there are common threads of experience reported by individuals who take certain mind-altering drugs. For example, many people on LSD report the sightings of small, elf-like creatures that in description largely conform to the reports of others.

Is it possible that drugs affect the mind, tampering with the harmonics of matter and energy, in such a way that clue one in to different notes of life? Are these individuals varying their spectrum of human experience that allows them to sense matter that doesn't just exist in their mind, but exists in reality, in fact, right before them, while not being sensible without the induction. Physicists are now contending that there are some eleven dimensions in the universe. How high will that figure eventually rise to? How many unknown frequencies and types of matter surround us? I'm inclined to think that the presence of other worlds swirling around us is not only possible, but probable.
