The Science of Loki’s time travel and branches of parallel Universe in Marvel Universe

September 21, 2022

MARVEL’S infamous ANTI-HERO Loki has made his way out of many “Impossible to escape” situations before, but in the new Disney+ Hotstar show Loki (the God of Mischief) may have finally become entangled in a fight that he can’t win — the war against time by getting the Tessaract with the power of his cleverness but believe it or not the time travel and the branching of the universe in Loki is possible according to the Quantum Theory. Let’s see the Science of it

The Science of Loki’s time travel

As Marvel’s Loki wasn’t a TV character he didn’t make an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before). The Science of Loki’s time travel. Back in 2012 in Marvel Avenger, at the time of catching him, he took the Tessaract by his cleverness and after using it, he transferred to Utha Dessert of an another parallel Universe and caught by the guards of Time keeper. At the end of the trailer for Disney+ Marvel’s new TV show ‘Marvel’s Loki’ there’s a plot point where Loki talks to himself and says “To find a way to win, to change the future, you need to learn the art of time travel.” This is where the story will pick up and where we’ll see Loki (Tom Hiddleston) doing what he does best. Don’t worry though, since we’re on the subject of comics… Apparently Odin (Anthony Hopkins) used to time travel. In Thor, he made a 3,000 year jump in the Asgardian future, and another time jump in the present.

What is the branching Universe and Multiverse?

The Multiverse is a theoretical concept in Quantum mechanics. It gains poloularity in the pop culture like- comic book and sci-fi fiction. According to this theory, the Multiverse is made up of an infinite number of parallel universes, some of them distant, some of them close. Back in Newtonian physics, we assumed that time is rigid and flows same for every point on Space but Einstein came along and says “no” time is like river. It can slow down and can speed up and then Quantum physics takes place and says the river can split up in different branches and every branches has it’s own choice to choose a path.

You can take the main river as a main time stream, when ever you make a dicision our universe spit in to 2 reality (That’s Call the Big bang). So every time you perform motion the universe splits and make a new baby universe. May be there are some universe, where you are a Trillioner, Scientist, YouTuber or a Loki, all the universes that the Marvel universe rests on are branches, and the only reason why they are branches is because every branch of a tree is in a different state, and according to Marvel’s theory, this means that they are all different universes but all in a different state. How could a Infinity Stone allow a character to travel through the Multiverse? Imagine being in a room where two windows can exist. One window shows the next few days, and the other one shows the rest of the Multiverse.

Could we use the branching universes to time-travel?

Did Loki hint at time travel? Can time travel be achieved? And the answer is yes, time travel can be achieved but it is not same as conventional time travel. You need to use Quantum mechanics. When you try to travel through time, you have to creat a worm hole. According to Quantum mechanics every past and future timeline exist for an object. So if you want to travel through time, you need to go the another parallel Universe. Remember this is not your own world. Every time you will do something in that universe, the universe will split into branches and lead them towards a different future.

Is there scientific evidence to support the multiverse?

Let’s hear the physicists. What is the multiverse? The idea of the multiverse is an outgrowth of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics means that our conception of the world of everyday objects is incomplete, since it fails to account for the existence of subatomic particles such as electrons and quarks that make up the bulk of matter and energy in the Universe. Our best understanding of the Universe suggests that, at its very fundamental level, it contains a mixture of two types of things. The Universe we observe is the result of matter and energy that have become separated by the destruction of the Big Bang, forming the realm of the living, in addition to a substantial part of which we can’t see. Let’s simplify this- you are reading this article in your phone but according to Quantum physics there is a non zero possibility that you are watching this on TV or laptop. May be you are doing this in another Universes.

Loki’s Journey

Loki’s long search for the truth that he is the God of Mischief and the leader of Asgard has lead him to a number of dangerous and unexpected lands, and he hasn’t always emerged from them, alive or unhurt. Each time he has left the mortal plane, he has gained clues to the location of the Asgardian Translator, the Stone of Agamotto, the only object that can grant access to another realm. He has gone to more worlds than any Asgardian before him. When he thought he had found it, he found a vast, brutal land full of dragons and fallen angels. He has faced foes far more powerful than he has ever faced before, but he has never been threatened with a fate worse than death. The fact that the MCU films have managed to follow through on the original plot that appeared in the Loki: Agent of Asgard comic book series makes it appear as though this story may be closer to the source material than some of the others, but is there actually science to support this? Loki’s father, the Goddess of Mischief Loki (and one half of the god of chaos himself), may be the origin of the MCU’s divine archer, but a common one can explain many of the mad scientist’s shenanigans. The World of Quantum Mechanics shows that all reality is created from the interactions between particles, and they can be destroyed through the quantum law of self-destructive annihilation.

Paradox and Solutions:

There are plenty of Paradox related time travel. Like killing your own grand father or giving the blue print of time machine to a younger yourself. If you apply these, these make no sense. You can create and get information out of nothing!

But according to Quantum physics. When you travel through time, you will not reach your own past. Instead you will reach the parallel universes where your past is gonna happen. So what ever you will do, your past I your universes will not change but the future of the parallel universes will see a another future.

Conclusions

The Quantum world and parallel Universes is very complex and specially weird. This is just like a Drunken person whose patch is undetermined but we can tell the possibilities of his path. (This is the First web series I am watching) I have tried to cover all aspects of the Multiverse in this post to the best of my knowledge (Although I haven’t use the math). This is not a prediction about the Multiverse itself, but it is about the possibility of there being more parallel Universes or universes that are not visible to us.

Why Wood is more Valuable than Diamonds in the whole Universe

Why Wood is more Valuable than Diamonds in the whole Universe

Recently a fact on the viral that woods are more valuable than diamonds but why is it? I mean, if you go to a jewellery shop and a wood shop will find that diamonds are more valuable than woods. Even the raw diamonds are more beautiful than so why the question? if you know the answer –

why diamonds are less valuable than wood in the whole universe write them in the comment section below.

Topics :

Introduction
Formation of Diamond
Formation of wood
Extraterrestrial Diamonds
Where you can find wood
Conclusion : My last Thought

Okay let’s explore the physical composition of the diamond. The diamonds are the most concentrated form of pure carbon in the natural world and it is one of the most hardest material on earth. To understand why dimes are so rare we need to understand how diamonds are formed.

Formation of Diamond :

condition of intense heat and pressure. Diamonds are found at a depth of approx 180-200 km (93 and 155 mi) Diamonds are formed around 3 billion years ago deep within the earth’s crust under the. Here’s the temperature averaged 900 to 130 degrees Celsius. pressure at the earth. The organic process of diamond formation

requires four ingredients –

Carbon : a chemical element
Time : a physical quantity
Pressure : a physical quantity
Heat : a physical quantity

The extreme heat and pressure combined, actually modified graphite, a crystalline carbon, on the atomic level. This graphite molecule composition from hexagonal pattern to triangular one resulting a diamond. later they transfer from deep within the earth to the surface via volcanic pipes.

Formation of wood :

In other hand we can get wood easily on the earth’s surface. Just plant a tree wait for a few years or decades or more and wow ! you can get woods. You need not to wait for billions of year or need not to dig hole on earth but there’s a twist. Until now we are talking about the Earth but what’s about the universe ?

– To understand this we need to blast up to the outer space.

Our universe is vast from our current observation is around 93 billion light-years wide in diameter. There are about 200 billion galaxies and each of them has around 100 billions of stars compared to them our arts and the solar system is just a tiny dot.

Extraterrestrial Diamonds:

Diamonds on the earth are rare but diamonds in the universe are not rare. You can find diamonds on an asteroid.

Diamonds on Asteroid :

Back in 1987, a team of scientists examined some materials and found grains of diamonds about 2 Nanometer in diameter. Analysis of more materials we found Nano diamonds from many stars.

Diamonds on solar Planets :

If we move forward we can find diamonds on planets. Back in 1981 Marvin Ross wrote a paper, titled “The ice layer in Uranus and Neptune — diamonds in the sky?” in which he proposed that huge quantities of diamonds might be found in the interior of this planet. at LLNL he analysed data from the shock-wave compression of methane and found that extreme pressure separate carbon from hydrogen freeing it to form diamond.

Jupiter and Saturn :

Diamond rain also appeared in Jupiter and Saturn. According to atmospheric data about 1000 tons fallen Saturn. These planets have methane rich atmosphere. During storms, lightings turn it into carbon as carbon begins to fall. It is subjected to intense temperature and pressure. These conditions squeeze them into chunk of Graphites. As pressure increases graphite is compressed, making it literally rain diamonds but about 22,000 miles in the Saturn atmosphere, temperature rises and diamonds compost into the mushy liquid.

According to NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory such diamonds would be about a centimeter in diameter.

Diamond Planet :

You can find diamonds outside the solar system.

1. There’s exoplanet name 55 Cancri e. The planet is orbiting a sun like 55 Cancri a. The mass of the exoplanet is about 8.63 earth masses it is located from 40 light years from the earth and it is largely made of diamond.

2. There is a planet named PSR J1719-1438 b companion to a millisecond pulsar. It has a density at least twice that of lead and may be composed mainly of the ultra dense diamond.

Diamonds in Star :

It has been proposed that diamonds can be found in the carbon rich stars, particularly white dwarfs. The white dwarf BPM 37093, located 50 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus and having a diameter of 4,000 km, may have a diamond core which was nickname is lucy. The giant gardening diamond is likely one of the largest diamonds in the whole universe.

Where you can find wood :

On other hand, we know that woods are

made from trees and from our current knowledge we know that trees are only found on earth. Yes! astronomers have found habitable or super habitable planets but we do not know that they contain life.

Conclusion : My last Thought

Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic structure. It also conveys water and nutrients between leaves other growing tissues and roots. It may also refer to other plant material with comparable properties and to material engineered from wood or wood chips or fiber. Wood has been used for thousands of years for fuel, like construction, material, weapons, furniture, and paper. Woods and diamonds have one similarity they are both made of carbons but wood is a complex organic structure and compared to its diamonds is simple. In the whole universe, wood is rarer than diamonds. Trees can give you oxygen and it is one of the major member of our ecosystem and after they die they gives us wood. So woods are more valuable than diamonds.
