Living in a Parallel Universe
Parallel universes have haunted science fiction for decades, but a surprising number of top scientists believe they are real
In many cases, reality is weirder than any science fiction fantasy. Parallel universes have haunted novels and movies for decades and at the beginning of the 21st century in the labs and minds of theoretical physicists, parallel universes are being seriously explored as never before. Long since scientists believe that there is far more to the cosmos than we can currently detect. Particularly, quantum mechanics has made it very hard for them to ignore the idea of parallel universes.
Parallel universes, strange hidden worlds, where an alternative reality exists have haunted science fiction for decades. Parallel universes sound like a myth, but a surprising number of leading scientists believe they are real. National Geographic delves into the mysterious science of other universes and discovers that many of physics most cherished theories actually predict that there are other universes beside our own. But what are they like? Could we ever visit them? And if we did, who or what would we meet? The reality is weirder than any science fiction.
