Recent discoveries have reignited excitement and curiosity in the scientific community, suggesting the possible existence of ...

As part of ongoing efforts to derive a scientifically testable multiverse theory, a team of researchers proposed recently that parallel universes exist and that they influence each other. The ...

The universe is a strange, beautiful place—rich with possibilities and governed by the odd rules of quantum mechanics. One of the most mind-bending ideas from this realm is the many-worlds ...

Google's cutting-edge quantum chip Willow has prompted discussions among scientists about the possibility that we may indeed be living in a multiverse.

Well, a new theory posits that other universes may not be so separate from our own at all. Quantum physicist Howard Wiseman and his colleagues just proposed a new "many interacting worlds" theory ...

Frequently used to change scenery in science fiction, parallel universes and the multiverse are indeed possible, but jumping from one to another might be a little tricky.

One version of parallel universes that cosmologists consider is the so-called ‘Multiverse,’ which is a consequence of the dominant theory of cosmic genesis known as inflation.

Parallel universes crop up in two places in physical theories. One is in our conception of inflation, the theory of the extremely early universe.
