A Mathematical Answer To the Parallel Universe Question

diewlasing writes to mention that Oxford scientists have proffered a mathematical answer to the parallel universe question that is gaining some support in the scientific community. "According to quantum mechanics, unobserved particles are described by 'wave functions' representing a set of multiple 'probable' states. When an observer makes a measurement, the particle then settles down into one of these multiple options. The Oxford team, led by Dr. David Deutsch, showed mathematically that the bush-like branching structure created by the universe splitting into parallel versions of itself can explain the probabilistic nature of quantum outcomes."

Is THIS the answer we're looking for?

maybe, maybe not...or both!

Universe means "one everything".

So how can there be more than one? That's like trying to have more than one identity element or zero element in a vector space. It doesn't work.
