Existence: Is there more than one me? - space - 02 August 2011 - New Scientist
"FAR, far away, in a galaxy with a remarkable resemblance to the Milky Way, is a star that looks remarkably like the sun. And on the star's third planet, which looks like a twin of the Earth, lives someone who, for all the world, is you. Not only do they look the same as you and lead an identical life, they are reading this exact same article - in fact, they are focused on this very line."
This is a really thought provoking article for me. I've always been interested in the theory of multiverses. I can definitely see how it could be possible, taking into account the laws of quantum mechanics. However I always come back to asking the same question. "If there is an infinite number of universes or 'bubbles' out there and, in each one is another version of me playing out every possible outcome of every decision I make, resulting in an infinite number of histories. How come one of those versions of me hasn't yet proved multiverse theory and found a way to convey this to the other infinite numbers of me out there, including me?". Do you see my point?! ;o)
