So, in a parallel universe Al Gore won the election, John Kerry won the election....

Infinite universes and paralell worlds?...I think these guys are lost in their own minds.

A motorist who has a near miss, for instance, might feel relieved at his lucky escape. But in a parallel universe, another version of the same driver will have been killed.

Is that not "macro", not quantum? Or is this just an analogy he's making?

There was a recent theory put forward that, in fact, quantum principles do apply on a macro scale. For example, "Schrodinger's cat" is real, not just a model. And if a tree falls in the forest, it makes a sound AND it doesn't -- until something observes it... at which moment the outcome is determined by probability.

I don’t see any evidence, much less proof, there are parallel universes.

On the Science Channel tomorrow afternoon about 05:00 PM Central time there is a show called Parallel Universe about M-Theory, it is very good. It makes the Big Bang Theory finally make some sense.

Still, a horrendous name for it.

Will our parallel universe have parallel parking?

Well we send each other messages via parallelograms?

But the "many worlds" idea has been attacked, with one theoretician joking that it is "cheap on assumptions but expensive on universes" and others that it is "repugnant to common sense."

Too funny.

So when I have a really bad day, it is because I woke up in the wrong universe?

I woke up this morning and it was last week. Now I wonder if it’s yesterday yet. Back in the days of youth and lost weekends I might have understood this stuff. I never did drugs so I’m pretty sure it is still almost today for another 40 minutes.

"the universe splitting into parallel versions of itself can explain the probabilistic nature of quantum outcomes."

Even if you follow this stuff on a lay level you had to see this coming.

I'm glad that in a parallel universe I will live forever and get to see all this keen science play out.

In a parallel universe I have Bill Gate’s money and Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends.
