Well, the amount of quantum physics i know could be written on a pin head-- but from what i do know, it seem the basis of quantum physics is that there are multiple/alternate universes--

the theories of quantum physics are responsible for "OSCARS" --optical scanner and readers, and MRI's.. In Sci-Fi, its quantum mechanics that makes possible "transporters" (like star trek's)-- and they have actually "transported" atoms-- not in sci-fi, but in a lab! (new Mexico? Brookhaven? It one of those sciences that is sufficently advanced enough to seem like magic.
