Would parallel universes interfere with each other?
486453
By definition, parallel lines can never intersect or meet.\nParallel universes, if they would exist, must behave similarly to be truly parallel.\n\nConsider: If parallel universes were to be within a few billion light-years of each other, they would eventually be drawn toward each other. Result: No longer parallel.

I have heard of the theory before, I wish I could remember the scientists name in the UK who proposed it. Well he may not have the one who proposed it but he was the one featured in the documentay. Its outlandish by most peoples standards, but its a very interesting theory. What I remember most about this gentleman is that he is so paranoid about what could he happening in parallel worlds with his own self that he is terrified to leave his house.....it has to do with every single thing we do affecting our parallel lives in other dimensions and realities.\n\nI would suggest looking it up on www.coasttocoastam.com George Nori and Art Bell touch on stuff like this all the time and have a lot of interesting guests that discuss it.\n\nI first read about parallel lives in a book by Dick Sutphen called "Unseen Influences". This book touches on how every thing affects our lives from processed foods to alien abductions and everything in between. You might want to have a look at that too.

Sometimes, when people cannot fathom or answer an issue, they turn to blind faith for that answer.  That is not the scientific approach and, carried to extremes, such blind faith can lead to the Dark Ages when very little was done to advance mankind's knowledge.\n\nThat being said, string theory can lead one to conjecture about the pre-big bang.  (I like your "big suck" idea by the way.)  String theory conjectures the possibility of parallel null universes, devoid of observable mass-energy as we know it.  Then, according to the theory, two of these big nothings collide.  Since they have an eternity to do it in, one can even show (using simple probability) at least one such collision is likely over an infinity (eternal) number of attempts.\n\n(If the concept of two "nothings" colliding gives you a headache, join the crowd.  Nothing, however, is only nothing in our limited four dimensional observable universe.  String theory goes up as high as eleven dimensions; so if these null universes exist in these higher dimensions, they would seem to be nothing to us because we cannot see beyond four dimensions.)\n\nSo two null universes collide.  When they do, the collision releases a lot (I mean A LOT) of energy (and mass, its all a jumble in the beginning).  That released energy-mass is what we on Earth now call the "big bang."\n\nThe last part of your question, re another big bang in our universe, is also a possibility according to string theory.  There is no reason to limit our null universe to just one collision with another null universe.  We can say "at least" one collision, because we live in one of the results.  \n\nBut there could very well be others, where our null universe has collided with other null universes, and not necessarily the one our null collided with to create the observable universe we live in.  Which brings up the possibility that other observable universes in our null universe might be totally different from our own.

The origin of the universe has always been a mysterious event in which the laws of physics appear to break down. Could it be that the big bang was caused by the collision of two parallel universes?\n\n*Riddle of the Big Bang (scroll down 3/4 of page.

That could be tricky, and I'm not sure the religious folks so far have thought about the implications. For example, if Jesus did exist and was crucified in "our" universe, then under one of the multi-dimensional paradigms, there must be another universe in which he lived and was NOT crucified.

the universe WAS a singularity (everything packed into an tiny tiny tiny space) before the big bang. So, i guess, technically, you  can go see the consequence of a singularity by opening your eyes. but see one as a singularity, i have no idea, sorry.

No I think that the alignment of the universe can answer and solve many questions and problems ,Great mathematicians have done this for Centuries and you would be amazed at there predictions and preciseness

The thing is ... a parrallel universe may exist. We cannot prove it one way or another ......YET! :) How do we know that another universe and our universe and many other universes .... do not exist in a metaverse? And if so .... maybe something like distance etc. exists in that metaverse ... which imparts some of it's qualities to our own universe and indeed to any other universe within that metaverse. Hence ..... we may not even have a void outside our universe at all.

If you would belive in the parallel universe theory\nthere is a possibility that the past exists in a \nanother parallel univerese.However if you would\nbelive in the space-time continum,the past would\nnot simply exist as would the future.But theoriticaly\ntime travel is possible is you consider slowing down\nthe rate of time advancing but this will not lead you to the past but it would take longer you to reach the future in your particluar reference of time\n,here relativity comes into picture and the solution is still not clear.

Not really. Some of them would be the same, but others would be different. Here's an example. If you're looking out your front window, do you see the same things as your neighbors when they look out their front window? Your viewpoints will be different, so you'll see some things the same and some things not the same.

You might be interested in M-theory of the universe. It suggests that the universe, ie the big bang that we see is the result of two higher dimensional membranes touching each other. Other membranes may actually touch and produce other kinds of universes but with physics that might be unstable or unusual

No problem. They ony temporarly have interference. When they passed each other both have not been disturbed.

Keep in mind that a novel is fictional, as in made up imagination content for entertainment purposes, and thus is more entertaining if the basis for the plot and logic is believable. In reality parrellel universes exist in parrellel, not adjacent, and rarely intersect or exchange matter or energy. It is unlikely the exchanges can be instigated, controlled or predicted.\n\n1)  Universes are in parrellel because the cycle of existence disposes of and recycles matter and energy in a non-random fasion, with high concentrations of some types of energy and minimal amounts of others. Each Nuclide and nucleotide has an intention to its existence, and actually requested it's state of being, so to determine which universe is the origin of which nuclide, just ask it. If your listening in the right way, you'll hear it (Not attempting to mock you, this is how I communicate with matter and it works).\n\n2 to 4) these questions are irrelevant, due to an important factor you've failed to account for, besides the fact that this is all fictional. Once something transfers from universe 1 to universe 2 it goes from stable to unstable, or unstable to stable, because the exchange recombines it into different nuclides. You don't really get what you asked for.\n\nThe science you've read is accurate and correct, but you could use some more study hours in the astrophysics and quantum physics theory labs. I'd suggest checking out my source.

It is believed that that since the universe evolved out on 'nothing'.....so every matter has an anti-matter..(since the sum total of all matter and anti-matter is zero in universe)...so chances are there are is another earth (anti-matter of where we are)....and hence the all the people and other things are in pairs......BUT, all these are theories...there are no scientific validations of these.

The most recent investigations (WMAP) about the shape (geometry) of our universe show that it is FLAT, meaning that it will expand infinitely, parallel lines never meet, etc.,.\n\nhttp://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/m_mm/mr_content.html

don't lagph but i think that there parrell uniiverses out there one that just so happens to have our opposite on them.

What we learn from the book A Brief History of Time is that time and space as spatial parts of the cordinate system can't be separated from one another in a model of an ever expandng Universe. We know, or have a idea, that before the Universe started expanding it had no space cordinates .Hence as time and space cordinates are inseparable it is only safe to assume that time had a start just as the universe was created. \n\nSo the answer to the question is No.
