Sara switched off the DVD and the holographic image disappeared. “Well, that movie was confusing.”

“No it wasn’t,” said Adam. “It’s just Quantum physics, and the theory that there’s a web of simultaneous existences. For example you’re here talking to me right now, but in another version we’re not having this conversation, or you could be making dinner or putting the washing on.”

“But all the ‘me’s’ are real?” “Yes.” “Right-oh. So why, in all those other

worlds am I still the one doing the chores, and not my twelve-year-old son?”

Adam smiled. “There’s an infinite number of worlds. In one of them you could be discovering a cure for cancer.”

“Amazing, but I still don’t understand.” It didn’t surprise her that Adam did – he’d been top of his science class every year from 2085 to 2088.

“How do you know so much about Quantum physics?” His room was full of contraptions and gadgets he’d invented.

Adam shrugged. “Researched online. I wondered if there was a way for our consciousness to cross from one existence to another. If we could… we might find a world where Dad is still with us.”
