Um, to nit pick you, it is you’re when contracting ‘you’ and ‘are’ (second person singular of ‘to be’), not ‘your’.

"No scientist worth ANYTHING would ever present proof of a controversial theory. Even theories that are more or less proven remain labeled theories because other, as yet undiscovered, explanations could exist."
Try telling that to a Darwinist on a crevo thread.

I’m taking this theory to the next level.
If all possibilities occur from any event, just in parallel universes, then at the very beginning when the very first split occurred, wouldn’t there also have been a universe created where there were no parallel universes, since that was a possible outcome. I think we live in that universe and thus the theory may be valid for all the other universes where parallel universes exist, but not in this universe where they don’t.
Where’s my government grant? I need it to buy a big bottle of aspirin.

If the parallel universe theory is true and a separate universe exists for every possibility, than in one of these universes, I am master of you all and you are all my slaves. I am going to attempt to find my way into that universe. See you all there and be prepared, I have a lot of work for you all.

You never have sensed an event in the present of the actual occurrence, yet your mind manufactures a scenario of 'present' based upon faithe in the constancy of spacetime phenomena rooted in the receiving of past events processed after the fact. Your very living is a time travel process, my brainy friend.
Indeed. Thank you so much for your engaging post! The subject of time is dear to me as you well know and I can easily get carried away (LOL!)
To be brief and focus on the spiritual aspects rather than the geometry, I should mention first that time is a part of Creation and not a limitation of the Creator. Indeed, the word timeless would be more appropriate in discussing the Creator of space and time and therefore, causation itself i.e. the First cause, the uncaused cause is God.
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3:14 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8
I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18
Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: - Isaiah 46:9-10
Personally, when I weigh anchor from this fleshy body - I fully expect to be able to observe Gods beautiful and enormous physical Creation in ways I could not physically owing primarily to the speed limit of the physical universe, i.e. the speed of light. But I also expect to be able to observe events throughout Creation (spiritual or physical) whether I would have considered them past or present or future while I was yet in the flesh - traveling my worldline in space and time.
Indeed, I expect to be able to observe what Christ did for us while He was enfleshed. How wonderful it will be to hear Him speak the Sermon on the Mount!
Also, I expect my own mortal life (worldline in space and time) to be an open book which, thank God, will be rolled up in the scroll along with everything else in this heaven and earth:
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. Mark 4:22 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree. Isaiah 34:4
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. Rev 6:14
Our experiences along our worldline in the flesh pales in comparison to what God has provided for us! And to think, some people believe the next life will be boring. (snicker...)
Maranatha, Jesus!

So, somewhere there exists a universe in which I never cried, never fell off a bike and skinned me knee, made straight A's without any study, won summer and winter Olympic gold medals, won the Heisman trophy as a freshman linebacker, won the Heisman again but as a sophmore tailback, won it again as a junior wide receiver and won it again as a senior quarterback. Won Nobel prizes every time they were handed out. Joined the military, became the youngest Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in history. Was elected president twice. Never had a sniffle, never experienced a headache or hangover. On and on the items go even including being immortal.
Call me a skeptic.

The last time I watched was when this guy just took over It is getting good now. They brought back The Doctor's arch-nemesis "The Master"
"The Master" survived "The Time Wars" by hiding his Gallifreyan Time Lord "self" in a pocket watch so that he could appear human to "The Daleks."

Parallel universe proof boosts time travel hopes Unfortunately, you can't go to any of those parallel universes without running into Dr. Who, so time travel really isn't worth the trouble.

After Tom Baker, the Doctors are also rans. But the current one is pretty good! The Doctor used the pocket watch trick, too!

Well this is merely "modal logic" and not necessarily embraced by any physicists that I know of, but the late philosopher David Lewis (Princeton prof) had a theory that can be called extreme modal realism:
"Lewis's best known, and most controversial theory is that there exist an infinite number of concrete and causally isolated parallel universes, of which ours is just one, and which play the role of possible worlds in the analysis of necessity and possibility...."[Wikipedia]

Try telling that to a Darwinist on a crevo thread.I predict the 90%+ would be in complete agreement with the sentiment. As am I.

I keep wanting to know why “I” can’t live in that parallel possible world in which “I” can do and have and be anything I want, even better than a Superman...... Jessica Alba would be just the beginning of my hedonistic delights.......
