The first time I heard about parallel universes was when my friend told me about the M-theory and Ed Witten. That was staggering information because my understanding of “this all” changed rapidly. Actually, I did not really believe in parallel universes because there was no way to prove it. I thought “well, it’s a nice theory, but it can’t be verified”. Or can it be verified?

I recently stumbled upon the video below. I was lucky to find it, because in the video scientists discuss about various ways to prove that parallel universes exist. As we cannot travel to distant universes, scientists take examples from microcosmoses.

It is interesting how scientists compare the behavior of waves to parallel universes. The point is that when interfered, a wave produces multiple identical waveforms. Now, you might think this does not happen with solid particles. Wrong, particles do the same. Just watch the video, it’s pretty interesting.

However, it is very difficult for me to believe that somewhere in distant universes, another Marko (me) is sitting with his laptop, drinking way too much coffee, and writing his astronomy blog. In fact, that me-looking-dude must be writing about parallel universes, just like me here in our universe. Come on.. I got the point of the theory, but seeing another me, or even infinite number of copies of myself, in distant galaxies sounds ridicculous.

How about you? Do you believe in parallel universes?
