Perhaps this is too much being raised on the twilight zone, but I wonder if
this provides any means to interact or make contact with these
world/universes? This is of course too much to hope for but the study kind of
seems to direct the mind towards that possibility.

Quantum theory is needed to explain how the universe works at the microscopic
scale, and is believed to apply to all matter. But it is notoriously difficult
to fathom, exhibiting weird phenomena which seem to violate the laws of cause
