I was watchint a documentary on TV the other day about one of the more recent waves of scientist trying to find the answer to answer all questions. It started out explaining some of the science behind the 'string theories' putting it in words a commoner could understand. It went on to explain that this theory originally used ten dimensions in there calculations but every time they finished one up they had a new equation. They ended up with five related yet slightly different 'string theories' in the proccess.
Before the string theory had obtained the level of so-called success it had at the time another theory to find the same question using almost the same means was discredited by the string theory because it was based on eleven dimensions (the eleventh was there but not really). It turns out that if they calculated the string theory using this eleventh dimension it worked out. The five different theories they had at the time all reduced down to the same root equation. (later to be called the m-theory)
But what does parallel universes have to do with all of this? Turns out that upon calculations using this theory to explain the big bang theory ended up showing that the big bang wasn't just one root explosion but many over a very small period of time. These 'bangs' would have been caused by seperate planes of reality colliding into each other created a new plane which we all live on. It also goes on to explain that there are an infinite amount of these planes which could mean that there are other universes were I am sitting here typing this exact same entry using the exact same language only I have shorter hair, different color eyes, or even the moon is blue instead of white. The possibilities are endless.
So think about it. There just might be a you in another universe who just happened to not do that thing that you regret about in the past and is living how you wanted to. There is a universe where life in on Mars instead of Earth. There is a universe where we are the little green men.
