The Multiverse and Multiple Me!

Just imagine that you exist in another Universe, a place equal to the one we know, but somewhere else. Would your life be the same - or not?! Would facts and events be different - or not?! Pure fiction? There are those who would disagree and who firmly believe that there are a series of Universes scattered around. The concept of the "Multiverse" has its origin in a complex combination that embraces ideas coming from Modern Cosmology, Quantum Physics and the Theory of Relativity. The most commonly used analogy is a group of separate and spread out soap bubbles, floating in an infinite space.

Despite it being a non-scientific theory with no evidence to back it up, many people embrace it. To its supporters, these parallel Universes could even be interconnected through special cosmic structures, such as black holes and wormholes. Strange? It may well be. Impossible? Apparently not. From a quantum perspective, multiple Universes, independent and isolated, always arise in response to each viable option.

Thus, you and I would be in this (known) and in other (unknown) Universes, at the same time, spread out across the vast cosmic expanse. In the majority of these, our lives would be totally different, as many of the quantum decisions taken would have led us to other realities. While in some of these soap bubbles our existence would be a reflection of our life on Earth, like in a mirror.

​Fiction or reality - the concept of a Multiverse is nonetheless interesting (and scary!). However, to live in parallel Universes touches on other complex and controversial ideas, such as eternity and the diversity of one's own soul, which would be surrounded by various (and countless!) reflections of ourselves.
