【点评】考查细节理解题和推理判断题．在做细节理解题时，首先根据题目要求迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语．认真比较选项和文中细节的区别，在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断． 19．（8分）Parallel worlds exist and interact with our world， say physicists． Quantum mechanics （量子力学）， though firmly tested， is so weird and anti﹣intuitive that physicist Richard Feynman once remarked， \think I can safely say nobody understands quantum mechanics．\Attempts to explain some of the bizarre （奇异的） consequences of quantum theory have led to some mind﹣bending ideas， such as the Copenhagen interpretation and the many﹣worlds interpretation． Now there's a new theory on the block， called the \interacting worlds\
.
.
hypothesis （假设） （MIW）， and the idea is just as profound as it sounds． The theory suggests not only parallel worlds exist， but that they interact with our world on the quantum level and are thus detectable． Though still speculative （推测的）， the theory may help to finally explain some of the bizarre consequences inherent in quantum mechanics．
The theory is a spinoff of the many﹣worlds interpretation in quantum mechanics﹣an assumption that all possible alternative histories and futures are real， each representing an actual， though parallel， world． One problem with the many﹣worlds interpretation， however， has been that it is fundamentally untestable， since observations can only be made in our world． Happenings in these proposed \．
MIW， however， says otherwise． It suggests that parallel worlds can interact on the quantum level， and in fact that they do．
\1957，\explained Howard Wiseman， a physicist at Griffith University in Brisbane， Australia， and one of the physicists to come up with MIW． \﹣known ‘Many﹣Worlds Interpretation'， each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made． All possibilities are therefore realized ﹣ in some universes the dinosaur﹣killing asteroid （小行星） missed Earth． In others， Australia was colonized by the Portuguese．\ \， since they do not influence our universe at all，\． \， our ‘Many Interacting Worlds' approach is completely different， as its name implies．\ Wiseman and colleagues have proposed that there exists \of repulsion between ‘nearby'（i．e． similar） worlds， which tends to make them more dissimilar．\force， they propose．
When asked about whether their theory might imply that humans could someday interact with other worlds， Wiseman said： \． But the idea of human interactions with other universes is no longer pure fantasy．\
