Could alternate realities exist? If so could they overlap at times?

Question

If there are other universes existing as our own how similar would they be?

Answer 1

COULD there be... YES!

What are they like?

I don't know because I have never been there.

Using the common def. of "alternate realities":

If they overlapped, even momentarily, they would no longer be "alternate."

IMO: A much more interesting line of inquiry is:

"WHAT IS REALITY?"

People have been working on that one for as long as there has been philosophy. There still is not an answer that everybody agrees upon.

Find out WHAT IT IS before you contemplate whether or not there is ANOTHER one!

Answer 2

Well supposedly - there are an infinite set of universes all running along parallel to each other - if you could hop from one to another they would appear similar until you got further away from your own "reality"

and from time to time one take an unexpected turn and crosses paths for a moment not really sure what happens there - mind you this is all speculation

Answer 3

wow, thats a hard question mate.

Bascially. think about this, our solar system travels round the sol yeah? which in turn is a star. Now look up to the sky, theres billions of stars out there, each could have its own solar system, own worlds, own inhabitants. How do we know? well...we dont. Such a hard question to determine. And its not just that, theres even more galaxies out there, and we are in our own galaxy with all these stars. The sol ( sun) is quite a small sun compared to other stars we can see through telescopes.

But the question is, who knows :S, we will never find out to be honest when space is expanding at like 11000 km a second lmao. It would take 1000 lifetimes to get to the nearest star. And after that, the stars are ALOT further away lmao.

wow eh?
