Theories of Multiple Universes
Parallel universes have long been suspected because of the "Many-Worlds" theory, and several other plausible theories that have come from it. The most famous besides the Many-Worlds theory is the String Theory. This radical theory was started by a young Princeton University doctoral canidate named Hugh Everett, III. He stated that there are parallel universes, exactly like our universe. These universes have sprung off from ours and ours have sprung off of others. For instance, a species of bird that has been extinct for millions of years in our universe could still be thriving on another one. Even scarier, while humans are still living strong and healthy in our dimension, there could be a dimension out there in which humans have become extinct.
The biggest question in this whole theory is why a young up-and-coming physicist would risk his career on such an elaborate thought. As all physicists know, a dimension "is an expression for a derived physical quantity in terms of fundamental quantities such as mass, length, or time, raised to the appropriate power (acceleration, for example, having the dimension of length × time -2)"(http://www.merriam-webster.com/). Also, physicists have to know that a universe is "commonly defined as the totality of existence, including planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, the smallest subatomic particles, and all matter and energy"(http://www.merriam-webster.com/). This radical new idea could explain why quantum matter behaves so eradically. The most undiscovered subject of science is quantum level(http://www.howstuffworks.com/).
In 1900, Max Planck first introduced this concept ...
