The theory most people have heard of, is that for every tiny little decision we make, another world is created where that decision was made differently, or where an event didn't happen (or happened differently). This would mean there would be an endless number of universes, and when our world ends, another one might continue elsewhere. (Which is a nice thought.)

I can't see how this could be true, but then I can't see why not either... I'm the sort of person who must see something to believe it, so until we rip a hole in this world and see into an alternate one, I'm not believing anything.

I've always wondered about dimensions and parallel worlds, but what brought it back to mind was Doctor Who on Saturday. If you like the topic of dimensions and parallel worlds I recommend Doctor Who, even if it is a little childish.  

I do however think that there's a possibillity that there is a world that coincides with ours.  Essentially, I think it's possible that are beings that are at a different level.  The best why I can describe it is by Paper Mario, if anyone knows the concept.  In 2D, you can't view the 3D world.  In a sense, we view things in 3D, is it possible that there are those in a higher world that can view us, but not the other way around...?  I dunno, seems unlikely, but it's interesting to think of.

I should make a movie of his sometime, it really would make more sense with diagrams and shit.

I believe in parallel universes. I believe they're inevitable.

Why exactly do you believe that?

[note: I am a quasi-supporter of the "brane" theory, so I'm not putting you down] Simply want to know why you think parallel universes are inevitable

Well . . I do believe that the theory of having different outcomes being plausible, but in fact, isn't there only a single reality at one time? All possible branches only remain possibilties, but the actual outcome is the single line, of what actually occured, not just via possible branches, because every other branch did not occur.

But then again, I've enough trouble trying to contain the complexities of a single realm . . I've little worry on another parallax lest I fall into insanity. . .

I believe producing a hole in the fabric of space-time creates an opening into another Universe. I believe in the multiverse model where each Universe is connected tightly to one another. Because of this, I believe alternate versions of Earth etc. are inevitable.  

I believe black holes are 'gateways' into an alternate Universe, even if they do chew anything and everything up and convert it to a singular massy point. Perhaps on the other end, the matter is unraveled, potentially from a reversal of time.
This is in accordance with the theories of "White holes", pretty much the opposite of the black hole. Where time and matter is spewed out of the event horizon. I believe that when black holes form, they also form a white hole in a neighboring universe. One sucks matter in, the other sucks it out. In addition, there are white holes in our Universe constantly spewing out new matter - an explanation of the abundance of this "dark" matter (not necessarily unique matter) in our universe.

I don't really agree with this thought.  As you've said, I can't really see how it's true, and unless I witness it, (or am shown scientific proof), then I won't easily believe it.  I can't see why a decision would create an alternate form of living.

I do however think that there's a possibillity that there is a world that coincides with ours.  Essentially, I think it's possible that are beings that are at a different level.  The best why I can describe it is by Paper Mario, if anyone knows the concept.  In 2D, you can't view the 3D world.  In a sense, we view things in 3D, is it possible that there are those in a higher world that can view us, but not the other way around...?  I dunno, seems unlikely, but it's interesting to think of.

I love Paper Mario. Graustein introduced me to that concept.
