Mysterious disappearances ...There are some other cases when disappearances are really mysterious. Starting from the crew of the ship Mary Celeste ... some people seem to have gone from the face of Earth, leaving absolutely no trace behind them. (Link)
Michio Kaku (Click the link to hear Kaku explain this. His explanations make physics seem quite easy. Just please remember to come back and finish this article! Kaku is fascinating.) talks about how the particles that make up our bodies don't stay in our bodies. Particles wander about. So what if a massive quantity of particles went on walkabout at the same time? Is it possible that the entire crew of the Mary Celeste rode into a particle storm that transported all the living matter elsewhere? Wouldn't that be wild?
As Michio Kaku explains in the video, parts of you and me are conceivably hanging out on Mars right now. I wonder if the probabilities could converge in such a way as to take an entire person elsewhere - or even elsewhen.
I also wonder if, having picked up all the particles that comprise a single person, would those particles all go to the same place or would they separate and spread out across multiple universes and dimensions? If so, then maybe the reason two people on opposite sides of the world get similar ideas at similar times is because particles of one being have landed in them both.
Scientists often race to publish before someone else beats them to it because this does happen. Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace both came to similar conclusions about evolution about the same time. You can see some others here.
I'd love to hear your ideas on this. It seems both farfetched and perfectly logical, so feel free to (rationally) expound in whatever direction it leads you.
