Black holes, curved space, the slowing of time at high speeds, and a round Earth were all plain scientific heresy and tall tales before scientific experimentation started to prove otherwise. One of these tall tales at our present capacity to understand (given the current limited verifiable information on it) is the concept of the parallel universe. It used to be just parallel universe. Then, it became parallel universes. Now, there is the multiverse. Somewhere in the future, this concept will also cease to be just a scientific heresy and will, through modern physics, be testable and proved (or disproved). First, it takes a curious mind, then a scientific idea, then the resilience and perseverance of scientists.
There is no concrete proof as of yet, but respected scientists now say ‘that parallel dimensions could very well be more than figments of our imaginations.’ “The idea of multiple universes is more than a fantastic invention—it appears naturally within several scientific theories, and deserves to be taken seriously,” stated Aurelien Barrau, a French particle physicist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
MIT cosmologist Max Tegmark made a conclusion on the existence of parallel universe in a parallel universes study published by Cambridge University: “The existence of such a does not even assume speculative modern physics, merely that space is infinite and rather uniformly filled with matter as indicated by recent astronomical observations.”
Here lies the big idea behind parallel universes: ‘that if the universe is infinite, then everything that could possibly occur has happened, is happening, or will happen.’ Down the road someday, it just may appear clearly to a curious scientific mind, as well as measured, tested, and verified by persistent researchers, that reality does occur in simultaneously existing realms.
