	Parallel universe (fiction) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most common use of parallel universes in science fiction, when the concept is central to the story, is as a backdrop and/or consequence of time travel.
		Parallel universes in modern comics have become particularly rich and complex, in large part due to the continual problem of continuity faced by the major two publishers, Marvel Comics and DC Comics.
		Fredric Brown's "What Mad Universe" recounts the adventures of a science-fiction editor of the late 1940s who is thrown into a parallel universe that reflects the fantasies of his most annoying letter-to-the-editor writer (an adolescent male, naturally).

	PARALLEL UNIVERSES
		Parallel universes theory was invented by physicists in the hectic period of the 1950's and 1960's.
		Not only in a parallel universe must there be other human beings, but these may be human beings who are exact duplicates of ourselves and who are connected to ourselves through mechanisms only explainable using quantum physics concepts.
		If the parallel universes of relativity are the same as those of quantum theory the possibility exists that parallel universes may be extremely close to us, perhaps only atomic dimensions away but perhaps in a higher dimension of space-- an extension into what physicists call superspace.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon - Parallel Universes - Transcript
		MICHIO KAKU: All of a sudden we realised the Universe is a symphony and the laws of physics are harmonies of a super-string.
		The astonishing conclusion was that all the matter in the Universe was connected to one vast structure: a membrane.
		M Theory may really be able to explain everything in the Universe, but the victory will be bittersweet, for at the end of its long quest, science has discovered that the Universe it's thought to explain may be nothing special.

		A parallel universe is a hypothetical universe which exists separately from our own.
		The theories involving parallel universes are all controversial, and many physicists believe that there is no need to postulate the existence of any universes other than our own.
		Time travel, according to this theory, is merely travelling from one parallel universe to the other.

	MWI, Multiverse, Parallel Universes, The Fabric of Reality by David Deutsch
		Technically the main feature of parallel universe theories is that it is thought that one can do without the so-called "collapse of the wave function postulate." Reality as a whole is thought to be rigorously deterministic and to evolve according to the wave function.
		David Deutsch, inventor of the quantum computer, is one of the most outspoken proponents of the parallel universe theory or, as he calls it, the theory of the "multiverse".
		I think he would argue that those universes where the 2 slits are blocked would be separated by that event from the other universes so that interference between those universes and the universes where the 2 slits are not blocked becomes much more difficult to detect.

		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.
		For years parallel universes were a staple of the Twilight Zone.
		Parallel universes really do exist and they are much stranger than even the science fiction writers dared to imagine.

	Archived: A Parallel Postsecondary Universe - Information Needs for National Planning Everywhere
		To the extent to which there are occasional interactions between its secular providers and the traditional postsecondary and tertiary sectors in various countries, we will catch glimpses of its scope and dynamics, and may be stimulated to adapt some of its performance assessment processes.
		If a significant number of individuals follow paths that use the parallel universe, their actions affect planning and budgeting, and because the universe is transnational its information is analogous to that necessary for international trade.
		But until the parallel universe becomes part of national accounting systems and until we learn to follow the student--and not the institution--we'll never know.

	O.A.K.: THE UNIVERSE IS OBSOLETE
		Universe used to mean “All that there is.” That attribution has been co-opted by the term multiverse, although technically there can be many multiverses.
		There is not just one theory of parallel universes, but a variety of them ranging from bubble universes, accelerating universes, expanding universes to branching universes.
		Parallel universes might be utterly unlike our own, having different particles (such as mirror matter or dark matter) and forces.

	PARALLEL UNIVERSE
		Parallel port connection avoids the need to set I/O addresses (the locations in memory used by the PC to read and write MIDI data).
		Normally a selection of alternatives are needed, but in the case of parallel ports, the address is already decided by the operating system, giving one less potential source of conflict.
		For general-purpose interfaces, using the parallel port tends to be far more reliable, as it was designed to transmit and receive data at much higher speeds in the first place.

	Parallel Universes exist in other Circuits, Indian Cosmo Theorist
		The boundary of our Universe is the border of other Circuits and it is the gravitational force of our Universe that matters.
		So far the Universal Law of Gravitation is concerned, it is so crucial and its gravitational force has to exert on an object of a certain mass and our Universe is not an exception.
		Our Universe is limited to first three smaller Circuits, which have comparatively occupied lesser space and the other Circuits are extraordinary vast in space, and they would naturally have more gravitational acceleration," Dr. Raj Baldev concluded.

	SPACE.com -- Are There Other Universes?
		And if our universe was born out of a quantum fluctuation, say theorists, then it's possible that other quantum fluctuations could have spawned other universes.
		Of course, as University of Arizona astronomer Chris Impey points out, there are parts of our own cosmos that we can't observe, because light from those extremely distant realms hasn't had time to reach us.
		Because the different universes would not be detectable by one another, he says, "You can't really prove it exists or doesn't exist." When you talk about multiple universes, Steinhardt says, you're not talking about science anymore.

		Reason would probably insist that we include these worlds into our homogeneous universe: nuclear weapons would have a peaceful use, all the debts would be erased, all the flows of capital would be reinvested in terms of social well-being, and information would contribute to knowledge.
		Let these worlds remain parallel to ours, let their threats hang up in the air: their ex-centricity is what protects us.

		Although the book is free of physics and mathematics, the author could have spent few chapters to concentrate on the physics of parallel universes in layman's language to make the reader understand the physical principles on which physicists want us to believe in parallel universes.
		Fred Alan Wolfe brings great insight into parallel universes, and parallel lives, spacetime, fl holes, and, clashing waves of time, as well as the parallel "you" that does communicate with you in the life you live here and now.
