An infinity of universes

Mapping the multiverse: How far away is your parallel self?

There seems to be an infinity of invisible worlds lurking out there

SOME of your doppelgängers mimic your every thought and action, only with a snazzier haircut. Some live in a world where the Nazis won the second world war, or where the dinosaurs survived, ort where things fall up instead of down. Not here. Not in this universe. But they are out there – in the multiverse, where every possible world exists, along with all the infinite versions of you.
Travel any distance in modern fundamental physics and you will soon find yourself in the multiverse. Some of our most successful theories, from quantum mechanics to cosmic inflation, lead to the conclusion that our universe is just one of many. “It’s proven remarkably difficult to come up with a theory of physics that predicts everything we can see and nothing more,” says Max Tegmark at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
