This way of looking at the cosmos could explain the quirks of quantum mechanics, like a particle being in two places at once. The answer may provide a surprising explanation to the mysteries of quantum mechanics. For example, in quantum mechanics particles can seem to appear in multiple locations at once, and we are never exactly sure where a particle will end up. The researchers argue that this shift in perspective offers a possible explanation for the mysteries of quantum mechanics. But quantum mechanics already stretches those concepts, so it’s possible that the universe already runs on these non-intuitive rules.
