[stepping sideways] SpaceTime vs Quantum DimensionTime.
I still live there in that rift, sometimes.
I think a lot of us still do, from time to time.

Yes. Its hard to describe, but every now and then it's like you are in another place and time despite knowing full well that nothing has really changed. Some places, like UBS' seem to foster that feeling more than other places.

If you mean occasionally 'aving the sensation that you've somehow somewhere suddenly stepped sideways into an *almost* identical yet can't-put-your-finger-quite-on-why perceptively slightly different parallel dimension, where then hoo boy do I know wot you mean.
When that happens, I sometimes entertain the notion that a possible variant example of Quantum mechanics theory is rearing its head and maybe it's more than a temp displacement phenom.
ie. In my view, one school of Relativistic Quantum Physics posits that an sub-atomic particle is actually in ALL possible rotational places at once, and it's only looking at it, that makes it appear to be in that location.
Sort of like bouncing a ball hyper-rapidly 6 feet in the air, and staring at the 3rd foot, you will see the ball appear at the 3rd foot, if you're staring there, but it's not the only place it is located.
Then things get weird because Quantum physics (as I've extrapolated it anyway) seems to imply that this is also true of reality and the choices we make.
Where all possible choices are played out in slightly different dimensions.
Interestingly that would make time travel to the past for the purpose of changing the future impossible in the traditional sense.
because each choice we made/changed in the past, wouldn't change the future we came from, instead it'd result in the birth of an entirely new and slightly different timeline that would exist in an entirely different dimension.
If we extrapolate that further, it seems to me it would imply that all possible futures actually play out in parallel dimensional versions of Earth.
A sort of hmmmmmmmm(n) Quantum "DimensionTime" effect.
(with a different set of laws to those of "SpaceTime")
So maybe (when it's late and we've had too much drink -Ed) that feeling of stepping sideways into a slightly-different dimension that we sometimes get, is more than just a feeling.
^Raise-Eyebrow.
Well, it's a thought.
(yes, but a loopy one - Ed)
