Sliding Doors - The Multiverse

Stephen Hawking's multiverse theory suggests that there may be multiple universes out there, each with its own set of physical laws and properties.

It's like having a cosmic buffet of universes, where each one has its own unique flavors and ingredients. Imagine this: you're at an all-you-can-eat restaurant, and instead of just one buffet table, there are countless tables, each representing a different universe. On each table, you have different dishes, representing the laws of physics in that particular universe.

Some universes may have gravity that's stronger or weaker than ours, some may have different numbers of dimensions, and who knows what other bizarre things could be happening?

Parallel universes are no longer just a feature of a good sci-fi story. There are now some scientific theories that support the idea of parallel universes beyond our own. However, the multiverse theory remains one of the most controversial theories in science.

Our universe is unimaginably big. Hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of galaxies spin through space, each containing billions or trillions of stars. Some researchers studying models of the universe speculate that the universe's diameter could be 7 billion light-years across. Others think it could be infinite.

But is it all that's out there? Science fiction loves the idea of a parallel universe, and the thought that we might be living just one of an infinite number of possible lives. Multiverses aren't reserved for "Star Trek," "Spiderman" and "Doctor Who," though. Real scientific theory explores, and in some cases supports, the case for universes outside, parallel to, or distant from but mirroring our own.

My Multiversion

In my parallel universe
I am married to Russell Crowe
we live in a fabulous house in the lakes
with a multiverse of trees.

I make a living by writing
I won the Nobel prize
now everyone knows my name
they've even made me a dame.

Our son was Wimbledon champion
our daughter's a concert pianist
I only live there when I'm sleeping
because I am a realist.

We're each in our own little bubble
just trying to survive
but it's really nice to fantasize
it helps us to get by.

If there really is a multiverse
it couldn't be better than this
I have a lovely grand-daughter
and every day life is bliss.
