🌌 What Is a Parallel World?
A parallel world is a hypothetical universe that exists outside or alongside our own, possibly with different:
- Physical laws
- Histories
- Timelines
- Versions of you or events
These are part of what’s called the “multiverse” — a collection of multiple possible universes.
🧠 Scientific Theories That Support Parallel Worlds
1. 🧩 Many-Worlds Interpretation (Quantum Physics)
- Every time a quantum event occurs (like a particle spin), all possible outcomes happen in separate, branching universes.
- Example: If you flip a coin, one universe sees “heads,” another “tails.”
- So, there could be infinite versions of you, living all possible timelines.
Origin: Hugh Everett, 1957
Related to: Schrödinger’s cat — alive and dead in separate worlds.
2. 🔁 Cosmic Inflation Theory (Cosmology)
- After the Big Bang, space expanded rapidly — but in some models, it never stopped expanding in certain regions.
- This leads to “bubble universes,” each with possibly different constants, particles, and dimensions.
3. 🕳️ String Theory / Brane Cosmology
- Suggests that our universe is a 3D “brane” floating in a higher-dimensional space.
- Other branes (universes) could be nearby — even interact through gravity or collisions.
4. 🌀 Black Hole Theory
- Some physicists theorize that every black hole might contain a new universe inside.
- So, each black hole in our universe could be a gateway to another entire world.
🧪 So, Is It Real?
- Mathematically possible under many theories.
- But there is no direct evidence yet.
- It’s extremely hard to test — other universes may be unreachable, even if they exist.
🎬 Parallel Universes in Pop Culture
