	Parallel universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		In quantum mechanics, a parallel universe, also sometimes called an alternate universe, or an alternate dimension, is a hypothetical universe which exists separately from our own.
		Distinguishing these sub-genres from alternate history stories is problematic, but one might confine parallel-universe stories to those in which at least two universes come into contact.

		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.
		Of the theories of parallel universes, that taken most seriously by modern physicists is the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, proposed by Hugh Everett III in 1956, or some minor modification of it.

		For instance, measurements of the cosmic background radiation (the echo left over from the big bang) indicate that the space we live in is infinite and that matter is spread randomly throughout it.
		But if our universe is one among a vast ensemble of universes with randomly varying physical constants, then it is only to be expected that a few of these universes should be life-fostering.
		Lewis believed (or at least pretended to) that all logically possible universes are as real as the one we call the "actual" one.

	TIME.com: Visions of the 21st Century -- Science -- April 3, 2000
		Considering their usefulness as a plot device, it's hardly surprising that science fiction and fantasy literature are filled with alternate universes of one kind or another.
		The first credible suggestion that alternate universes might exist came in the early 1950s when a young physics graduate student named Hugh Everett was toying with some of the more bizarre implications of quantum mechanics.
		In this so-called many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, the universe is incredibly prolific, since each particle in the cosmos produces a multitude of new universes in each instant—and in the next instant, every one of these new universes fragments again.

		A parallel universe, also sometimes called an alternate universe, is a hypothetical universe which exists separately from our own.
		The idea of multiple universes has been used together with the anthropic principle to explain why our universe seems fine-tuned for intelligent life.
		One example is the Star Trek episode entitled "Mirror Mirror" which features an alternate universe (the "Mirror Universe") in which the same characters are present, albeit evil.

		I've always been taught that alternate universes are simply in a superposition -- that infinite numbers of parallel universes stack up to become what see as one universe, or reality [if that exists].
		Whenever a choice is to be made, the universe then splits into the infinite pieces it is composed of, and [in the form of a wave], cancel each other out to collapse and reveal the result.

		It merely asserts that observed properties of the universe which might appear somehow astonishing or unlikely cannot be seen in the correct perspective until one has accounted for the fact that certain properties of the universe are necessary, given our existence.
		Before one may say that it is "unlikely" for the universe to arise by random with its particular set of laws, it is necessary to have some idea of the probability densities of all other possible sets.
		When someone tells me that it is "intuitively obvious" that the universe is too unlikely to be this way by chance, I can only think of the many instances where human intuition has been applied to the realms of the very small or the very large or the very fast, and has been dead wrong.

		Well, if you're right, then this does at least give us some way to prove through experimentation the reality of “alternate universes.” If the particle is being affected by a particle in another universe, then that suggests that there is some transmission of information (and force, even?) between universes.

	How to construct Alternate Universes that work as fanfic by Rat Creature
		There are several basic types of "Alternate Universes" (in the broad sense of AU as genre): Stories that diverge at a certain point in time from the canon universe and don't change the rules of that universe.
		In character centered universes (or stories) there are usually a couple of standard points of divergence in fanfic for each fandom, mostly employed to 'fix' a canon fact that some subgroups of the fandom don't like.
		It also has the advantage that the numerous changes to both character and universe which are necessary to construct 'transplanting AUs' in general, as character and background are closely linked, are cushioned by the fact that the universe is already familiar, and at least for fans of that universe worth exploring in its own right.

		The interval edges of a universe are a bit fuzzy: in which universe you are at a given velocity mostly depends on which hopping device you are in.

		The spacecraft universe (S-universe) even extends to infinity, but this is in fact the domain of Einstein's special relativity, and as the S-universe is beyond the reach of the average hitchhiker, it is not interesting to us.

		I don't understand the math behind the reasons for this, so I won't get into it, but I'll simply assert that one consequence of this is that if you travelled back in time, you would be in an alternate universe, and not in the past of the universe from whence you came.
