The multiverse is an odd scientific theory, well, hypothesis, that says there are are an infinite number of Earths and an infinite number of you. Taken to its logical conclusion, as Robert Heinlein did, the best way to teach your children about sex is to have sex with them. Yes, Robert was going insane. Anyway, the whole idea has inspired some seriously bad fiction, like Star Trek's mirror universe, yes this is where intelligent thought goes to die, to cogent ramblings that are worth considering. Simply put, there's another you who's actually interesting and successful. And if you're interesting and successful here then your Doppelganger is … [Read more...]

As, the late, Douglas Adams once famously said, "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space." He also said "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe … [Read more...]
