Returning from vacation, George Noory welcomedauthor and researcher Cliff Pickover(1) who discussed his latest bookThe Möbius Strip, as well as parallel universes, higher dimensions and time travel. Möbius strips, named after the 19th century visionary scientist Dr. August Möbius, are surfaces that have only one side-- a model(2) can be created by twisting a strip of paper and then merging the ends of the strip together to form a single strip. For Pickover, such a design represents the borderland between art and mathematics, and offers a possible look at how the universe and other dimensions might be structured.
He favors two theories of parallel universes: the "multiworlds" of quantum mechanics, in which a new world is created each time decisions branch off into different directions and "carbon copy" universes in which we also exist in just slightly different versions of ourselves. Because the human mind has certain constraints to its thinking, Pickover suggested that computers will eventually be used to surpass these limitations.
He also discussed some of his Internet projects, which include The Galactic Question Center(3), a blog that invites people to share their thoughts on a wide range of meaningful issues.
