Do you believe in parallel universes? There are scientists that do. A team of physicists have claimed that there are multiple timelines that play out in parallel universes. Professors Howard Wiseman and Dr. Michael Hall from Griffith University's Centre for Quantum Dynamics claim that this isn't science fiction, but real. Helped by Dr. Dirk-Andre Deckert from the University of California, they are pushing the theory that there are not only multiple universes, but that they interact with one another. They say in their "Many Interacting Worlds Theory" that it would be possible for a time traveler to not only go back into the past, but that they could travel to parallel universes where events might not have played out like they have in our own history.
Professor Wiseman said:
"The idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957. In the well-known 'Many Worlds Interpretation', each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made. All possibilities are therefore realized - in some universes the dinosaur-killing asteroid missed Earth. In others, Australia was colonized by Portuguese. But critics question the reality of these other universes, since they do not influence our universe at all. On this score, our 'Many Interacting Worlds' approach is completely different, as the name implies."
What he is saying is that there many, many Earths, and that they all differ from one another, some greatly from ours, and some that you'd hardly be able to notice the difference. He's saying that all of the worlds are real, and that they all exist on the same timeline, but they interact when they "essentially bump into each other." Dr. Hall says that the groups theory fits into current scientific understanding, and that this new perspective could rewrite the physics rulebook completely.
I guess that The Flash got it right...
