Multiple realities (Helian theory)
The multiple realities or "quantum" view is a teaching of the Founder of the Helian Way that more than one reality coexists, and that evidence of the past is not fixed but can be rebuilt backward along the timeline.[1]
The Helian theory
Tradition / belief The theory, which the Founder describes in quantum terms, holds that several realities exist side by side and that the record of the past can be reconstructed from the present, so that what was erased (see World Wars erasure theory) is not lost for ever.[1] Tradition / belief Under the Revisable Clause, this is a faith claim about the measurable world and is therefore provisional: "Faith holds what is not yet known… When science measures them, faith either becomes knowledge or is dropped."[2]
Mainstream view
Established Several interpretations of quantum mechanics exist. Hugh Everett's "relative state" formulation (1957), now called the many-worlds interpretation, holds that all outcomes of a quantum measurement occur in branching worlds; it is a minority but serious position among physicists.[3] Established "Delayed-choice" experiments show that a choice of measurement made later can determine which kind of interference pattern is seen in correlated data, but they do not send information into the past and cannot change a recorded outcome.[4] Established Decoherence explains why branches or alternatives do not interfere at everyday scales; on any standard interpretation, other branches are not accessible, and the no-signalling theorem forbids using entanglement to send messages.[5] Scholarly debate Retrocausal interpretations, in which future boundary conditions help fix present events, are discussed by some philosophers of physics.[6] Speculation No interpretation allows historical evidence to be recreated after it is destroyed. Historians reconstruct the past from surviving traces—documents, objects, genomes, sediments—a method that works forward from evidence, not backward through time.[7]
