Parallel Universes

In which Rat sees the big picture

Good time of day, humans!

You’ve probably heard the news about the new quantum chip:

[TechCrunch] Google says its new quantum chip indicates that multiple universes exist
[Daily Mail] Google says it accessed parallel universes with its new supercomputer

We doubt those «other universes» will let us get away with this.

The problem with «parallel universes» is that they have too much explanatory power. With some verbal equilibristics, you can use them to explain anything, from mysterious drones («they’re checking on us!») to Pentagon’s missing trillions.

Also… is existence of a whole parallel road really necessary to explain an observation of a turn pocket?
