    To be exact, the researchers created a metamaterial — like those used to fashion invisibility cloaks — that, when light passes through it, multiple universes are formed within it. These universes, called Minkowski spacetimes, are similar to our own, except they more neatly tie up Einstein’s theory of special relativity by including time as a fourth dimension.

    My head hurts. But just imagine the possibilities. In another universe, there could be all manner of eventualities being played out.

    You could be a high flying exec, with that trophy wife/husband and private yacht. WW2 might not have happened. Abortion could be available on tap.

    The mind boggles, doesn't it?

    In my universe, we had The Fantastic Journey. Anyone remember that? Bunch of people stranded on a mysterious island encounter people from other times and dimensions?

    The multiverse theory implies that all things are possible in one of the other universes. So, in one of the other universes the multiverse theory dosen't work.
    So we don't exist.
