Title: Large Hadron Collider could be on the verge of finding a parallel universe

QuoteScarily, the Large Hadron Collider could be on the verge of finding an, actual real parallel universe.

But – unlike in sci fi – it won't mean that we suddenly wake up and Hitler won the war.

But scientists at the particle collider are now analysing data collected since June – in a bid to find traces of other universes.

It won't, of course, be anything like the sci fi ones, and Hitler will not be involved.

'Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects (breadth and length) can exist in a third dimension (height), parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions' Cern employee Mir Faizal from the University of Waterloo said.

'We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.'

MORE: That awkward moment the BBC calls Large Hadron Collider 'Hardon Collider'

'Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised.

'This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science. This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.'

One of the many mind-scrambling ideas on the table is that the Big Bang never happened, and the universe has always existed.

If the Collider detects these 'mini black holes', then our understanding of physics is about to take a very big jolt indeed.

Tim, you need to cut out the parts of the article that link to other articles.  The phrases "MORE: Is the Large Hadron Collider going to summon the Antichrist next month?" appearing the middle of the article you posted damages your valuable credibility.  Someone might come to the conclusion you either insane or doing a lazy copy paste job without reading what you post.

The multi-verse view would state that not only are there universes where there are teams doing the exact same thing at the same time, there are an infinite number of them.

I think the types of multi-verses they are talking about is where certain fundamental forces have more or less strength.  You couldn't go there because if you your atoms would all fall off.

no, that's so statistically improbable that even with infinity universes it would never come to be.

There is but the physics of that universe are so completely different from ours that it would be impossible to witness the event.

That goes double for the Leafs winning the Cup. Such a universe would not support sentient life (though that does not, of course, rule out professional sports  :P ).

The Leafs won the cup in a different era.
