« on: August 17, 2009, 07:05:17 AM »I've heard SF fans repeat this idea endlessly for years, without explaining the supposed physics. A parallel universe occupying the same space at the same time? Don't you think it might take more to create an entire universe than someone choosing paper instead of plastic, say?
Nope. The theory says that whenever there are different choices presented to us, we do indeed make each choice, and each choice creates it own parallel world. It's all part of Quantum Mechanics and String Theory - and we've discussed it here on the forum before. I even once provided a link to a PBS special on the subject.
