Parallel universes exist - study

                                               Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as "one of the most important developments in the history of science".
The parallel universe theory, first proposed in 1950 by the US physicist Hugh Everett, helps explain mysteries of quantum mechanics that have baffled scientists for decades, it is claimed.
In Everett's "many worlds" universe, every time a new physical possibility is explored, the universe splits. Given a number of possible alternative outcomes, each one is played out - in its own universe.
A motorist who has a near miss, for instance, might feel relieved at his lucky escape. But in a parallel universe, another version of the same driver will have been killed. Yet another universe will see the motorist recover after treatment in hospital. The number of alternative scenarios is endless.
It is a bizarre idea which has been dismissed as fanciful by many experts. But the new research from Oxford shows that it offers a mathematical answer to quantum conundrums that cannot be dismissed lightly - and suggests that Dr Everett, who was a Phd student at Princeton University when he came up with the theory, was on the right track.
Commenting in New Scientist magazine, Dr Andy Albrecht, a physicist at the University of California at Davis, said: "This work will go down as one of the most important developments in the history of science."
According to quantum mechanics, nothing at the subatomic scale can really be said to exist until it is observed. Until then, particles occupy nebulous "superposition" states, in which they can have simultaneous "up" and "down" spins, or appear to be in different places at the same time.
Observation appears to "nail down" a particular state of reality, in the same way as a spinning coin can only be said to be in a "heads" or "tails" state once it is caught.
According to quantum mechanics, unobserved particles are described by "wave functions" representing a set of multiple "probable" states. When an observer makes a measurement, the particle then settles down into one of these multiple options.
The Oxford team, led by Dr David Deutsch, showed mathematically that the bush-like branching structure created by the universe splitting into parallel versions of itself can explain the probabilistic nature of quantum outcomes.
So you're saying that out there, there really could be an Evil WB who terrorizes all of space and time (or at least his local area) with his own Cosmic Icky Stick and brings terror, mayhem, and wanton destruction on all of the people surrounding him?
........
DELICIOUS!
Hahaha, let's hope that Evil WB can't find away into our universe. But yes this is totally possible. Then again what isn't possible when speaking of space and black/worm/white holes.

**somewhere in the Crystal Floating Fortress Evil Vector sits in his high chair, reading the newspaper with a comfy fez on head as Evil Jinsoku bursts into the room in complete panic**
Evil Jin: "DUDE! SOMETHING'S HAPPENED TO EVIL WB!!!"
Evil Vec: **sigh** "What now?..."
**quick cut to Evil WB scrambling around in a paper bag as Evil Chainspike pours a continuous flow of water on it**
EVIL WB: "I CAN'T FIND MY WAY OUT!!!!!!!!!!"
Evil Chainspike: "Teehee!"
Superior Sam: **facepalms** "Oh dear lord..."
**quick cut back to Evil Jin and Evil Vec**
Evil Jin: "Yeah, he got lost in a giant wet paper sack....again. Last time this happened he nearly starved to death - though I do admit, it WAS a lot quieter around here for a change."
Evil Vec: **double sigh** "i hate my life...."

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah, I don't think we have anything to worry about....
XDXDXD! Wow.
"Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists."
Pssh. Oxford. What do they know? 
As long as I'm in the universe where everything runs smoothly I'm fine with it. 
I had an accident when I was 13.
...
I wonder what the universe without me looks like.

(p.s.: is joke! :P)
THE OCEAN WILL AWAKEN AND FORM WATER TUBES IN THE SKY
Do RPs exist IRL then? I wanna meet SX, she's rich.
*claps at the WB skit* MOAR!
Also, I wonder what the universe where I became President of America is like.
Parallel universes already exist.
They're called video games
That universe looks mighty educational, Boxy.

This has already been done, Dub. >.>
So do the Teletubbies really exist in a parallel universe? D:
O god no, not the Teletubbies. I want the parallel universe where Barney gets beaten down by King Kong :O. That is a world I love.

What in the Who-ha Heck is that; and 
!!!!!
That's scary. ;_;
You mean like "Sliders"? I loved that show... back when it was just Rembrandt, Quinn, Prof. Arturo, and Wade... none of that "Mallory v2" and Maggie stuff...
It's an interesting concept though. (Sonic the Human, anyone? xP)
Dub, I didn't think it was possible to win a thread you already won... but that group pic thing is so awesome I shall steal it and pretend it's mine.
It's how I roll.
