In a mathmatical sense, yes. Here is a small example which I had conjured up which I assumed might be interesting to those reading my post: take two pieces of paper, and illustrate one geometrical structure on each piece (both being identical on each page). There, now you have parallel dimensions in geometry, existing within real time. As of today, there are a total of three known spatial dimensions, consisting of length, height, and lastly; depth.

As for parallel universes, the ''Parallel Universe Theory'' is such that all universes already exist in parallel and span all of existence as we know it, like a complete vector space. Being such, it's fundamentally impossible within the parallel universe theory for there to be space where a universe does not exist. In all seriousness, each distinctive universe (assuming that there are multiple universes) has its own individual set of physical and chemical properties. Two universes cannot possess the precise set of properties; thus making it impossible for parallel universes to exist.

+ + + - but sometime - - - + is used. The forth item in each signature pertains to time.

I saw the documantary with Michio Kaku and i was amazed.
Is the 4th dimention also a parallel univerese?

Yeah I do believe it, Michio Kaku is really a smart person, listening him talk on The Universe series is always mind-blowing.

hmmm not sure weather I believe in it or not, these things are proven and disproven with a degree of mathmatical understanding greater than I posess!

However I did listen to this podcast on the subject earlier in the day and found it very interesting..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/ ... im-jackson

I found the idea that dark matter is in fact a gravitational pull from another universe especialy interesting.....

it also talks about how their looking for evidence of the multiverse theory with the LHC...

enjoy!

First they have to find the Higgs Boson.

Aren't the theories of several universes strictly theoretical?

I agree with ruveyn.

It is impossible for one to extrapolate such information with so little proof. Science only goes so far to explain phenomena.

If it was true, me in the parallel universe would be loud and confident and typical NT.

Far less silly than all the various religious beliefs. For my part I simply do not know and I am at ease with my ignorance, the obvious question to people who flat out deny the possibility of multiverse/parallel universe hypothesis is why?

I am very much fond of the Multiverse Theory. It actually sounds very likely to be true once you read up on it.

Though I can't say that I am 100% sure that it's true (since it hasn't been proven to be right, just likely to be true because of it making sense in a lot of ways with what we know to be true today, and other theories likely to be true), but I sure hope it is.

I am very amused by the many-worlds hypothesis but there is not an iota of empirical evidence to support it.
