What’s a parallel universe?

[Somegirl124]

Does it mean everything that exists now but in a different universe with a different outcome?

[magiusX26]

yes and more. examples being one is exactly as this 1 with only 1 minor thing different such as butterflies are live birthed instead of being catepillar then cocooning into one. another may be 2 or 3 minor changes such as grass is purple instead of green and humans have a 3rd earlobe. yet another would be 1 or more major differences such as native americans were never conquered and sparta lost against persia. others would be mixes of such with numbers of such major and minor changes varying greatly. also there are those that the only difference is a single decision one person made (step left or step right while hiking in the woods) changed then include multiple such choices by that one person then imclude alternates where multiple people made a different choice. then there are the mixes of various forms from above upto every one of the above maximum leveled of the variants. hence the full term infinite alts.

It means another realm of existence, its contents don't matter.

It's impossible though, because the universe is 3D, not 2D, so there is only 1 universe.

Sounds reasonable but sad! A duplicate world as ours nothing but fighting and fucking over whoever! How about a dream world where everyone is honest, everyone gets along and does no harm to anyone else.

It’s just a theory but yeah, you should watch the tv series “Sliders” , it’s pretty good from 1996
