      If you believe in some theories…there could be an infinite number of them! Some theories say that for every possibility there is a parallel universe in which it happens!

      Hi there, thanks for your question. The parallel universe theory is just a theory at the moment, we have no evidence that there are parallel universes and no way of telling how many! But there may be an infinite number!

      Well honestly we don’t really know. But I guess there could be, and we just can’t see them because we are all wrapped up in our universe.
      I like the idea that there are though, and I like the idea that you can use black holes as tunnels to other universes!

      If there are parallel universe, as with the many world theory, then there ought to be one universe for every unique combination of quantum decisions ever made to date. Since there are billions of such decisions being made in the observable universe every nanosecond, then there ought to be an effectively infinite number of universes.
