    Supposedly there is evidence that suggests this is true. The subject fascinates me, so if anyone familiar with the subject can explain it in layman's terms, I'd be very grateful =]

    Evidence would be nice. I am not sure they have any though.

    the evidence is more statistical than anything. If everything is infinite (which I know some scientists contest that, but I believe it to be true) then there is an infinite number of possibilities, including the possibility that the same things could be repeated, similiar but different, in another world and universe.

    I would focus on how to get on with your parallel living spaces, i.e. your neighbor.

    i'm really interested in this too. it has to do with different levels of consciousness and apparently people can visit these other universes or dimensions by astral projection and things like that. I think you'd really like "The Holographic Universe" By Michael Talbot and also the movie donnie darko, which is about a tangent/parallel universe

    check out super string theory like someone already mentioned. i saw an episode of Nova's "The Universe" where they talked about it. legit scientists were talking about how the big bang could come from two super strings (or something) slamming together. this is what created our universe and could potentially create other "universes" as well. [this to me means that we have just mis-defined the universe though]
    anyways, this big clash could create other, parallel universes.

    WAIT, i took notes on this! lemme find 'em....


    Ok, apparently there are 4 different types of parallel universes possible

    1) copies from space's infinite-ness. simply the sheer vastness of the universe means that it's likely that there are other worlds with not only life, but life much like our own, so much like it in fact, that we might consider it a parallel universe (or Earth in this case maybe)

    2) copies in different "bubbles"
    they were talking about our "universe" as an enormous bubble, but that we're floating in a 'sea of bubbles' or other parallel univereses

    3) copies in other dimensions or vibrations, that are right here in front of our eyes but we can't perceive them. this one instantly makes me think of psychedelics and how they change the way we perceive things, etc etc....but the scientists didn't touch on that ;)

    4) other universes with completely different laws of physics, so that things like gravity would be different or non-existent.


    when they talk about a "multi-verse"....universes can bud off one another, infinitely

    in string theory, everything is a vibrating string or membrane. there are 11 dimensions, with 6 or 7 of them in front of our eyes all the time, but we can't see them.

    string theory and quantum physics clash with Newton's theory of relativity. they are two opposing views of physics. they don't make sense with each other. that's why they are trying to merge them into a 'theory of everything'


    ANYTHING that can happen has happened and will happen again


    hard to talk about shit like this in layman's terms though ;)

    Yes...string theory has many implications.

    I think some (not necessarily all) dreaming may be peeks into parallel universes; but then what do I know?

    This is a most interesting subject that I am glad to have seen introduced.

    The Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics implies parallel universes. Basically, this stems from the fact that it is impossible to predict individual events on the quantum scale. For example, if you have a certain quantity of an unstable material you will be able to predict the rate at which it decays. BUT...if you focus on any individual atom of the material, there is no telling when that particular atom will decay. There is only a set of probabilities.

    Many physicists are troubled by this idea; in Newtonian physics, if we have all the information on a given system, we can predict with 100% certainty what will happen to it. Quantum physics introduces an element of chance. In order to get rid of this element of chance, theorists have come up with the notion that perhaps for every quantum event with multiple possibilities, EVERY possibility is in fact realized--but each in a different universe. So, if there are 10 possibilities, we only see one of them in this universe--but there are 9 other universes in which each of the other possibilities has occurred respectively.

    If this is correct, then there are an incredibly huge number of parallel universes, with more being created every moment. But, this is only theory, not fact. Many physicists disagree with this interpretation.

    I hope I got all that right, you might want to check wikipedia for better info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many_worlds_interpretation

    A semi-related concept is that of "quantum suicide" or "quantum immortality". Assuming the above theory is correct, it carries some important potential implications involving the subjectivity of the human experience and consciousness. The thought experiment goes like this: suppose you rigged up a machine with a gun aimed at your head. There is a 50/50 chance that the gun will fire, based on a quantum event with 2 possible outcomes of equal probability. According to the Many Worlds Interpretation, both of these events will occur in 2 separate universes. So there will be one universe where the gun fires and you die, and another universe where the gun doesn't fire and you live. Since neither of these 2 universes is the "right" or the "real" one, it would be natural to assume that from your point of view, your consciousness would carry over into the universe where you survive. Now suppose you repeat this experiment 100 times. Each time 2 separate universes will be created, but from your point of view, you will survive each experiment, even though from everyone else's point of view, you will almost certainly have been killed!

    This implies that each individual consciousness is immortal from its own point of view, since there is no single event that leads to a 100% possibility of death. Even if there is a 0.0001% chance of survival, there will have to exist a universe in which you survive. So from your point of view, you will simply go on living forever!

    Again, I probably didn't explain that too well, here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide

    Of course, there's no way to prove this, except to yourself...so if you're still alive on your 130th birthday, you might start to wonder!

    Sorry for the long post, I tend to let my mind wander when it comes to this sort of stuff...

    actually rather than string or super string theory there is a "new" theory that combines super string theory and 5 others saying they all have properties of each other and that they are now combined into one. It's called M theory. M theory is the theory that if there are parallel universes that there is a seperate universe for EVERY decision that you have made and a seperate universe for the opposite of that decision. so you start out and make a decision, the universe splits and there is a seperate one for each choice. It happens every time until you are dead...theoretically. it's the same as the 1,2,4,8 sequence. Stephen Hawking speaks of it and says that although possible it's unprovable at this time although if ever provable it would mean that there would not be a "need" for a God. (not saying I dont believe in God) Just repeating what was said..

    OK, I'll bite...since even in a 1,2,4,8 sequence split, you eventually are dead...so why would there be no "need" for a God...or a Master Creator, as many may prefer to call Him/Her. (btw, I am a believer. :))

    Couldn't tell ya, you'll have to ask Stephen Hawking for an exact answer lol. My guess would be that If there is a split for every decision the universe in each choice would already have a set of decisions and where you go from there. So even in death you're next life would be decided and all your possible choices from there on. Kinda like a preset (eternal) life of choices and decisions and where it goes from there. Only guessing though...

    it actually 124875 in lazzy 8 pattern with 9 3 6 variably its a vortex math ,that was rediscovered by Marko Rodin ,based on myian math ,but Steven was wrong it would give us the ability to be come equal but not grater than ,so there is always a need for a control

    i read somewhere,that if you were to smash a cup on the floor,you could find every little piece of that cup eventually and put it back together as a whole cup,when particles are smashed together it is found that a percentage of the matter just dissappears not to be found,this leads to the belief it goes to another dimension.i think this was discovered through the use of particle accelarators:)
