Part 2 of 5 – Parallel Universes – BBC Horizon

by John on December 18, 2011

Everything you’re about to read here seems impossible and insane, beyond science fiction. Yet it’s all true. Scientists now believe there may really be a parallel universe – in fact, there may be an infinite number of parallel universes, and we just happen to live in one of them. These other universes contain space, time and strange forms of exotic matter. Some of them may even contain you, in a slightly different form. Astonishingly, scientists believe that these parallel universes exist less than one millimetre away from us. In fact, our gravity is just a weak signal leaking out of another universe into ours. In another universe, the British could win the American Civil WarThe same but different For years parallel universes were a staple of the Twilight Zone. Science fiction writers loved to speculate on the possible other universes which might exist. In one, they said, Elvis Presley might still be alive or in another the British Empire might still be going strong. Serious scientists dismissed all this speculation as absurd. But now it seems the speculation wasn’t absurd enough. Parallel universes really do exist and they are much stranger than even the science fiction writers dared to imagine. Greater dimensions It all started when superstring theory, hyperspace and dark matter made physicists realise that the three dimensions we thought described the Universe weren’t enough. There are actually 11 dimensions. By the time they had finished they’d come to the conclusion

“What banged, why it banged, what caused it to bang” – Science is so dirty.

@bg591979 your lack of intelligence astounds me. why dont you go and comment on a mickey mouse cartoon and say its ‘fake’

metamaggot December 18, 2011 at 5:54 am

isn’t the fact there’s five theories proof there is many different universes,each with their own theory?

bg591979 December 18, 2011 at 6:51 am

The Good Lord as thought by humans has already figured out all the probabilities and possibilities and situations of every thing and everyone…branches of choices or actions that lead to results…

bg591979 December 18, 2011 at 7:31 am

Maybe they looking for the wrong form…The Good Lord Might have done this from a cruder form to make it fine…

bg591979 December 18, 2011 at 8:28 am

Strings on this world as seen by the naked eyes are formed from iron ore through a process called manufacturing…what form was there before the Big Bang?

jordododo December 18, 2011 at 8:50 am

@TallandAsian89 probably… there should be also one where you are my mother or where you are bill gates…
you name it. it SHOULD exist

TallandAsian89 December 18, 2011 at 9:27 am

So there is an alternate timeline where the dinosaurs never died?

VetEngine December 18, 2011 at 9:47 am

@dvnupldr Thank you for the recommendation! I probably would’ve never seen that documentary if you hadn’t made the comment.

CharlesBloodInit December 18, 2011 at 9:48 am

BlackHeaven150 December 18, 2011 at 10:14 am

I believe God exist. I considered myself a Christian, but I don’t live a Christian lifestyle. I just believe in God. I’m really into this kind of science.

MrUrosSrb December 18, 2011 at 11:00 am

@MrBecomingBadass619 U must believe.

MrBecomingBadass619 December 18, 2011 at 11:52 am

@ProttoyEinstein god will stop it if he/she exists which I hope he/she does because if he/she does then ill still have a chance of seeing at how the universe turns out.

ProttoyEinstein December 18, 2011 at 12:04 pm

I have a complete support for string theory as I personally believe that we r not alone and many other universes exist with ours, and this system of universes is in cycle which states that before our big bang there had been many others and after big crunch there will be another big bang and this cycle will go on till…….may be……..for ever, until God wants to stop it!

PirateKing1256 December 18, 2011 at 12:05 pm

An Alien must be working behind the scene.

vinha1006 December 18, 2011 at 12:25 pm

@nycpd75 And your reply is from the Netherlands. We have no idea where you’re from, except lala land in one or another of its iterations. Your use use of idiom calls you a liar.

nycpd75 December 18, 2011 at 1:10 pm

@vinha1006 Dude i’m from poland, wtf is your problem ur talking shit about just a statement that i want an awnser to!

vinha1006 December 18, 2011 at 2:00 pm

@nycpd75 – The statement stands. The fact you are a very poor liar does not help your case either.

nycpd75 December 18, 2011 at 2:33 pm

@vinha1006 why should i learn something you suggest ? i dont give a fuck about my grammar or how even to spell in english, i aint even from a country that speaks english so i dont care;)

dvnupldr December 18, 2011 at 3:14 pm

@joryvans true, i guess it has to be all like “wow, look at this!” in order to appeal to the masses. besides, i was really hoping for a many-worlds docu, but instead it was more about string theory (which i dont adhere to)

joryvans December 18, 2011 at 3:45 pm

@dvnupldr I agree but bear in mind that this is a doc aim at the general public and not to those who already have an idea about parallel universe

vinha1006 December 18, 2011 at 3:48 pm

@nycpd75 I can tell you still haven’t looked up the word “dumb”. You remain an ignorant twit. By the way; please learn to spell and use puncuation. Until you do, I doubt that anyone will begin to take you seriously.

nycpd75 December 18, 2011 at 3:52 pm

@vinha1006 Whahahahahahah No i aint dumb my friend i just dont believe in a big bang theory dont you know ITS A THEORY ! they are all THEORIES there is no proof they even excisted

vinha1006 December 18, 2011 at 4:38 pm

@KhadaKuraki – Because “Uncle Michio” should more properly be named the great explicator. He surely has no idea how to explain something he doesn’t know.

vinha1006 December 18, 2011 at 4:43 pm

@nycpd75 – I have to say that you have just made one of the lamest and asinine statements ever to come down the electronic pike. If you don’t like the content, and if you are as stupid as you say (and somehow I think you are), go elsewhere. B-T-W- please look up the definition of dumb and practice it as well as you possibly can.
