Parallel Worlds Exist And Will Soon Be Testable, Expert Says

By: Dick Pelletier

Is there another you reading this article at this exact moment in a parallel universe? Dr. Brian Greene, author of The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos, believes that this freakish quirk of nature may exist; and he discusses its amazing possibilities in this 3-minute TV interview.

A growing number of cosmologists agree with Greene that we are but one of many universes and at least one of these other worlds lies close to ours, maybe only a millimeter away. We can’t see this world, because it exists in a type of space different from the four dimensions of our everyday reality.

Haha. This is metaphysics with the point of denying God’s existence.

So what do cosmetologist know about the universe? They should stick to doing hair.

In the alternate universe, I wasn't thinking of Mr. Spock.

Thanks. The “Kennedy-Lincoln Links” have fascinated me for decades.

Amazingly, socialism works in this alternate universe.

However, people must hold onto the earth to keep from drifting into outer space, since the force of gravity is repellant rather than attractive.

Most scientists know a small part of reality well, but about the whole of it almost nothing.

Damn, I misread the headline again, and thought that it said (in part):

I like the idea of this because in some parallel world, i’m married to Jessica Alba.

I’m also a dictator and all the liberals are in “re-education camps”

Parallel Spock is a badass by the way....

Dark Matter theory is driving scientists nuts

How about a parallel universe with a President Perot?

I strongly suspect “Dark Matter” is a way to patch a big hole in a flawed underlying theory. Kind of how the ancient scientists had to come up with wheels within wheels to maintain a theory of a geocentric universe.

Yeah

Galaxies should be flying apart far more than they are if our understanding of gravity was correct.

To make the equations work they infer “dark matter” as a fudging coefficient.

But maybe there is no dark matter and our equations and understanding of gravity are wrong in some way.

or you can invent parallel universes with leaking gravity to make the equations work.

If people feel the need to talk about more than one "universe", they first should redefine the very word "universe".

u�ni�verse

[ ynə v�rss ]

1.all matter and energy in space: the totality of all matter and energy that exists in the vastness of space, whether known to human beings or not.

Frankly, I don’t think they are measuring the red shift/galactic regression correctly. I think the galaxies are not flying apart as quickly as they think, and thus their estimates of matter and gravitational constants are off.

But I’m not a physicist. I can’t even balance my checkbook without a calculator.
