The Idea of “Uniqueness”

-->

“Is there more than one of anything?” This question made me think of the idea of being one and complete. How are we, each of us, or the smallest particle recognized in our perception, one within ourselves? If you consider the fact that there are parallel universes outside one’s own perception in different dimensions, how are “you” unique? Think about it. You exist in this world in different realms but you are not conscious of it, not yet. And still, there is an idea that you are one and only, not found anywhere else. Does the Nathatlie that decide to get up at 3.00 in the morning recognize the one that sleeps till 7.00am? When I wake up in the morning and consider three other options do I not manifest them as well? So all these five separate entities make one, don’t they?

Now let’s consider a photon. A scientist from the University of Vienna, Anton Zellinger, has claimed that he has been teleporting photons for over ten years. He says that, during the teleportation, the information of the particle travels but not the photon itself. Also, the information of the “actual” photon disappears. This may mean that the photon did not experience two different realities at once. It is either “there” or “here” which means that it has been transformed. If it did exist in two different realms at the same time, I would have asked whether it was a unique energy unit.

Humans haven’t experienced teleportation yet but in theory we live in alternate realities and we live in the world of possibilities. If we are not conscious of the “I” in these alternate universes, are we truly complete and unique or is the comprehension of the idea enough?
