Who Thinks Parallel Universes Are Real ?

[Tim18]

Well I don't know. Isn't the theory (oversimplified of course) that the rapid inflation after big bang caused loads of different universes whereas ours is one of the few where forces of nature and other circumstances are just right and balanced for life to exist? This is not my area AT ALL but I think that's at least one of the theories. If it's true that would mean that this universe basically got lucky which would at least solve the "but the world is so complex and just right for life to exist INTELLIGENT DESIGN MUST BE RESPONSIBLE" problem.

Yes, that is one of the theories for parallel universes.

No idea.
Though used in fiction, I can't remember if they are considered plausible in any scientific capacity.

Apparently they do exist already and there is proof:

New Proof from Oxford: Parallel Universes Exist



Soooooo....

Well, now we konw and that is half the battle.

Some scientists believe that if the universe is truly infinite, that somewhere there is another you...

Yet, we know that since the universe is actively expanding, that it's not infinite, since to be infinite would not require a rate of expansion, since a rate of expansion occurs from a size based on what already is, meaning that if you froze time the universe would have a set size. Hopefully that's not confusing.

Yet, one cannot say there aren't universes outside of this universe. In fact, there's a lot of research in regards to the idea of another(s) universe. Super cool!

"Scientists don’t yet have a perfect explanation for how it works, but that hasn’t changed the fact that the phenomenon APPEARS to be real."

I'm not sure that article counts as proof.

Good point. But there are definitely leads. One can hope that with more research, there will be a better understanding of this concept.
