The many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics loosely suggests there are an infinite number of universes existing alongside our own, in which anything can and will happen.
In the puzzle game Quantum Conundrum, you play the 12-year-old nephew of Professor Fitz Quadwrangle, a scientist who had invented a way to shift between these universes before becoming trapped in one after an experiment went awry.
It is up to you to explore your uncle’s vast mansion using his inter-dimensional shift device in the hope of getting him back. …
Quantum Conundrum was released June 21 on PC, and is out July 11 on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.

It’s possible we are all virtual. Can we arrange an adequate test proving the reality we see, hear, taste, feel, smell, intuit and including ourselves, is not simply part and parcel to an extremely thoroughly crafted “program”, designed to ‘run’ to witness the evolution of some creators “Master Evolution Experiment”???

I have never been able to wrap my mind around the idea that many universes exist alongside our own. My belief…..even after reading the original article :), is the universe exists in many planes, some parallel to each other.
Its not multiple universes, its multi-dimensional universe.

Looks like it has nice graphics and a very large virtual world to explore, but aside from that, pretty much like any other video game.

Who said it’s a game? Center of an infinite circle, is a infinite circle. Another classic yin and yang.
