# Parallel Universes
Scientists have come up with the theory of Parallel Universes. Any time we make a choice we create an alternate universe! So that means this morning when you chose to put milk in your serial, somewhere far away someone, just like you, put water in their serial!
I have been thinking about this a lot lately whenever I make a choice. Like the other day, I chose to flick my fried in the face; He laughed but, then i thought," Oh shit somewhere out there i flicked my friend in the face and he might have killed me instead of laughing!!
My point is, now I’m all sketched out that all of my actions are being controlled by someone else and I’m just doing the opposite of what they do O.O
What do you guys think about this, how many parallel universes do you think you have created today alone???
**BTW** You just made one in the past 10 minutes by deciding to read this thread O.o

No they didn’t.

You’re not; you’re being a contrarian asshole and doing everything differently.
> What do you guys think about this,
It’s completely hypothetical but I like to think it’s true because it’s kinda cool.
Also hypothetically is the omniverse, where you have universes that follow other laws of physics.
> how many parallel universes do you think you have created today alone???
Hypothetically infinite.

Based on today’s experience, not many. Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

Prove that they didn’t
Who are you to say that I’m not because I am…. your the asshole…
Stop acting like you know everything because you dont :p

Because there isn’t actual evidence supporting the hypothesis of parallel universes existing, thus they cannot create (especially not “come up with”) a theory about parallel universes.

You’re\*, and your first ellipses have one too many periods and your second one is grammatically incorrect.
It’s called a joke.

I do in an alternate universe.

My guess is you’re taliking about [Many Worlds](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation) which is a set of theories (based on roughly the same data) for the more esoteric functions of quantum mechanics. It provides no data for the existence of multiple realities. It admits they could be possible if the additional data theoried is found. That’s about the extent of it, relative to your claim.

The most stupid theory about multi-verses (not parallel universes) is:
there exist universe with anything one can think of.

It appears you are the go-to guy on stupid theories.

Providing _all_ the available evidence supports your theory, yes. If there is no evidence, then as tenco points out you have a hypothesis.
If any evidence disagrees with your theory – even a single piece – you have to amend your theory if possible to support the new evidence, or if you cannot do that you discard the theory as wrong.

My two penneth. The notion of previous and/or subsequent universes is fine, the notion of several other distinct universes is fine, but the many-worlds theory sux because **it’s a sprawling mess**. There’s no evidence for it, it’s a dodgy way of solving one or two big physics problems, and the only reason it’s popular is because everyone can easily grasp it and it provokes obvious rom-com-type ideas, such as “ooh, in a parallel universe I married a different person”.

I have a [bumper sticker](https://www.google.com/search?q=bumper+sticker+my+other+car+is+a+porsche&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=z7zKU4mqEMLdoATKvYB4&ved=0CDMQsAQ&biw=1536&bih=721) that sez: In my other universe, I’m rich, handsome, and have a large harem…(and sure as hell don’t drive a piece of shit like this one).

If we’re following this insanity to its logical conclusion Karma, then several versions of you are members of that harem.

The bit that makes me laugh is how it’s been floating about in one form or another for over fifty years, so why is it suddenly so popular now? Did a pop-sci rag just cover it or something?
The evidence certainly hasn’t changed, so it’s not that.

1. You didn’t pose a theory. Not even a hypothesis. How can anyone disprove one when you haven’t made it?
2. A theory is not stupid just because it has been disproven. With that attitude you’ll never get very far in any scientific or engineering discipline. It became a theory because it had boatloads of evidence backing it up. It was sound and solid, and most likely one of the most sensible ways of explaining a phenomenon we had at the time. It was only when new data that disagreed with it was found, that the theory had to be tossed.
Saying that, using the many worlds theories as proof of alternate universes _is stupid, yes_, because you’re trying to use the theories in ways they were not intended, and applying them where there is no data to support them. They are postulates, nothing more.

That’s the point ;)
I don’t think it’s necessary to reply on second point. Karma just requires special treatment for his attitude.
There’re more ‘baits’ than ‘claims’.

Rule of thumb for SD, Yeasy: Attack the argument, not the person. Attack the thought process around the argument and question what the person is doing that leads to that line of thinking. But don’t hurl abuse or direct unrelated insults at the person themselves.
