It has already been tested.
Obama got elected twice.
There is your proof
More string theory mathematical masturbation.
They would be part of 'the' universe.
Just hop the bus for DC!
It is an imaginary construct that is only a "scientific possibility" because it is impossible to falsify. It was dreamed up solely to provide some response to the unmistakable theistic implications of the anthropic principle and the beginning of the universe itself.
There have been days when I have heard things on the “news” that made me think I had awakened in a “parallel universe….”
There cannot be “multiple universes.” The word it self- UNIVERSE- is defined as all that exists and would have to include any parallel environments or anything else that might exist “out there” or sharing the same space. Multiple sub-universes, perhaps or multiple divisions of the Universe. Multiple Universes is an oxymoron.
The article is scientifically illiterate. It confuses the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics with multiverse cosmology.
Interpretations of quantum mechanics are a consequence not of our understanding of nature, but of trying to force the weirdness of quantum mechanics into the framework of classical physics. They are quite pointless. The interesting thing is to get right why quantum decoherence and statistical averaging cause large aggregates of quantum mechanical wave/particles to behave approximately as classical physics predicted, leaving quantum mechanics to be just weird (if you learned classical physics first and can’t get it out of your head as a picture of reality).
Multiverse cosmology is quite unrelated to the many-worlds interpretation, and is itself not a consequence of our understanding of nature, but of an intellectual exercise in trying to avoid the logical consequence of Big-Bang cosmology, that the first cause can’t be physical, by reviving the eternalness of matter, space and time putting the bits we can’t see (before the Big-Bang) in another universe (if they were in our universe, they’d be observable).
It is popular not because it is scientifically compelling, but because it provides committed atheistic naturalists with a way of avoiding the simpler explanation for the Big-Bang. It is really quite amusing to see polemical atheists abandon their strongest argument based on Occam’s Razor to embrace the multiplication of empirically unobservable entities and laws in the form of an infinitude of other universes with slightly different physical laws.
I think the author of this article is conflating different kinds of multi universe theories. The Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics where every possible quantum choice of our universe is played out which seems to have inspired the typical “parallel universe” of science fiction. In this view universes may be the same up to a point in history and then diverge. Other views seem to have universes simply being something created by a big bang and have their own history un-split from there. There are tons of different kinds of these second kind.

Only works in 2 dimensions....
Here it is spitting out a new BC for Obama
Schrodinger’s cat, a brilliant way to illustrate that something exists in two forms. Unless you’re the cat.
That’s where Liberals live.
I saw this already in a movie called “The Mist” (Stephan King book). The scientists’ window into the other dimension was actually a door and the things coming through were hungry and not at all house broken.
for crying out loud- all you need is some chewing gum, bailing wire, duct tape, and a parallel universe tester kit which is available online at Ebay- The repair items are for the testers, as they no doubt will be used items in need of repair- but whatever-
I thought everyone had a parallel universe tester?
Hugh Everett was the first to wonder at this back in 1957. The simple example was why do we see just one outcome of an experiment when many are possible?
When light passes through a polarizer so that it would be projected either vertically or horizontally, we only see one outcome. Basically, Everett’s hypothesis was that both states actually take place, but that they are at that instant separated from each other, and there can be no awareness of one to the other.
It’s sort of intriguing, to me at least, to think about what course our lives have taken, bifurcating endlessly through eternity.
God could eventually make a lot come out right in such a scenario. ...If that’s how He actually does it....
I would advise them to eat some mushrooms and see
what they think about that.

I’ve been living in an upside down world for the past 7-8 years. If someone can right it, go for it.
