"Many-worlds is a postulate of quantum mechanics that asserts the objective reality of the universal wavefunction, but denies the reality of wavefunction collapse which implies that all possible alternative histories and futures are real—each representing an actual "world" (or "universe")."

These Anasazi ruins known at The Antelope House Ruins were photographed by Ansel Adams in 1942 in the south part of the Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. I converted my original photograph to black and white to enhance the texture of the rock cliff and mineral stains that look like horse tails falling over the cliff from the black sky.
The Anasazi lived here about 2000 years ago. If you enlarge the photo (click on it twice) you can see what appears to be a partial white swastika over the dwelling on the left. The swastika on the wall near Antelope House is actually an Anasazi symbol that is many hundreds of years old.

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand"......

W.B. Yeats 1920
The Second Coming
