      Hmm it’s one of the possible interpretations of quantum mechanics, though personally I remain unconvinced. It’s not an idea you can totally discount though! A lot of research has certainly gone in to it, and it’s still being investigated by physicists like David Deutsch.

      Michio Kaku is really big on parallel universes – you should take a look at some of his videos on youtube and he has written lots of popular science books 🙂 I don’t think I could answer this question better than him 😉 Although I don’t think I would like parallel universes to be real… its a nice idea but what if the other you was rich and famous or really successful and happy? It would make some people wonder where their life went wrong and I think it would make more people sad than happy
