      It has been shown by mathematics that parallel universes could exist but noone has ever actually discovered one. It is super weird thinking about this!!

      Yes.. There is real physical evidence.

      but the evidence can be interpreted in many ways so not everybody is convinced.
      In fact parallel universes are one explanation for the out come of my favourite experiment!!

      The Young’s double slip experiment, –
      Shine light through one slit in a piece of paper and it projects an image of one slit.
      Shine light through two slits* in a piece of paper and it projects 100’s of slits.

      This also happens if you shine electrons, partials or even very small balls (buckyballs) at the slits

      and nobody fully understands why this happens….

      one explanation is…….parallel universes!

      Yep absolutely. It started off as a physics theory about 60 years ago but lots of mathematicians have since been working on the equations that can only be solved if parallel universes exist! If you have a look online, you’l find the scientist Erwin Schrödinger – his thought experiments and physics puzzles are really interesting and I think you’d like them!
