Since the dawn of time, alternate universes have been used in movies or some of the best selling science fiction books of all time. But are these parallel universes actually real? Well, back to the future met 2020 when a 2039 Nazi coin was found at a construction site in Mexico. Stranger than fiction or stranger than reality?
2039 Nazi Coin Discovery
A mysterious coin was found by Diego Avilés at a construction site in Mexico. Avilés stated:
“What caught my attention was the inscription and when I looked at the date in the Reichsmark, it was inscribed with 2039 .”
Diego went on to say:
“It had the symbol of the Nazi Party, the eagle and the swastika, and a few words written in Spanish that said “New Germany.”(Nazi coin of the year 2039)“
Multiverse Theory
In order to understand how any object from the future can make its way to the present, you must first understand the theory of what a multiverse is. Simply put, the multiverse is a group of multiple universes. As you study each theory of what a multiverse consists of, you open your belief system to question: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. Different universes within the multiverse are called “parallel universes”, “other universes”, “alternate universes”, or “many worlds”.
There are five major theories outlining how and why a multiverse is possible. An article published by space.com described it best:
1. Infinite Universe
We don’t know what the shape of space-time is exactly. One prominent theory is that it is flat and goes on forever. This would present the possibility of many universes being out there. But with that topic in mind, it’s possible that universes can start repeating themselves. That’s because particles can only be put together in so many ways. More about that in a moment.
2. Bubble Universe
Another theory for multiple universes comes from “eternal inflation.” Based on research from Tufts University cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin, when looking at space-time as a whole, some areas of space stop inflating like the Big Bang inflated our own universe. Others, however, will keep getting larger. So if we picture our own universe as a bubble, it is sitting in a network of bubble universes of space. What’s interesting about this theory is the other universes could have very different laws of physics than our own, since they are not linked.
3. Daughter Universe
Or perhaps multiple universes can follow the theory of quantum mechanics (how subatomic particles behave), as part of the “daughter universe” theory. If you follow the laws of probability, it suggests that for every outcome that could come from one of your decisions, there would be a range of universes — each of which saw one outcome come to be. So in one universe, you took that job to China. In another, perhaps you were on your way and your plane landed somewhere different, and you decided to stay. And so on.
4. Mathematical Universe
Another possible avenue is exploring mathematical universes, which, simply put, explain that the structure of mathematics may change depending in which universe you reside. “A mathematical structure is something that you can describe in a way that’s completely independent of human baggage,” said theory-proposer Max Tegmark of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as quoted in the 2012 article. “I really believe that there is this universe out there that can exist independently of me that would continue to exist even if there were no humans.”
5. Parallel Universe
Going back to the idea that space-time is flat, the number of possible particle configurations in multiple universes would be limited to 10^10^122 distinct possibilities, to be exact. So, with an infinite number of cosmic patches, the particle arrangements within them must repeat — infinitely many times over. This means there are infinitely many “parallel universes”: cosmic patches exactly the same as ours (containing someone exactly like you), as well as patches that differ by just one particle’s position, patches that differ by two particles’ positions, and so on down to patches that are totally different from ours.
Published Theories
Before Stephen Hawking’s death, he published a paper in May 2018, describing his beliefs surrounding the theory of multiple universes. In an interview, Stephen told Cambridge University, “We are not down to a single, unique universe, but our findings imply a significant reduction of the multiverse to a much smaller range of possible universes.”
Is the 2039 Nazi Coin Real?
In Mexico there is a state called Nueva Alemania, located in the land of Chiapas, but there is no actual record of the arrival of any Nazi currency. On the backside of the coin is the iron cross and the phrase “alle in einer nation” which translates as “all in one nation”, a motto that would perfectly match a Nazi mantra. Multiverse theorists have claimed that it is a coin from an “alternative” future where the Nazis conquered the world, developed time travel and sent money back to the past where certain currencies ended up in our reality. Others argued that it is a new evidence of time travel, a test that shows how Germany will be a key country in the imminent Third World War that is unfolding in Syria. They also added that the Nazis living in secret in Antarctica will join the Germans of the Fourth Reich.
There is no way of knowing if the year 2039 is really written on the coin. The number “39” is clearly visible on the coin, but it could also be the year 1939. The coin has supposedly been sent to a university for examination to study not only the validity of the date but the historical origin that helped the coin make its way to a little town in Mexico. Even without the date being clear, this coin is a rare find indeed. History will always be the cure to any form of ignorance or limiting beliefs.
Just because this story may need to be verified to prove the theory of multiple universes, there are multitudes of stories throughout history that are solid as a rock when you have learn to have open mind and expand your consciousness. Physicists, extraterrestrial believers, philosophers and everyday people like you and I all have one thing in common-the extinction of self limiting beliefs. What is the world without wonder? With that being said, the only insanity in the world is the belief that everything you’ve been told and indoctrinated to believe is the only truth that should be accepted. Stay curious.
