It has already been tested.
Obama got elected twice.
There is your proof
More string theory mathematical masturbation.
They would be part of 'the' universe.
Just hop the bus for DC!
There you go, throwing the wet blanket of consistent logic over the fires of imagination.
It is an imaginary construct that is only a "scientific possibility" because it is impossible to falsify. It was dreamed up solely to provide some response to the unmistakable theistic implications of the anthropic principle and the beginning of the universe itself.
There have been days when I have heard things on the “news” that made me think I had awakened in a “parallel universe….”

You got a point there, we ARE living in the “Bearded Spock universe”
There cannot be “multiple universes.” The word it self- UNIVERSE- is defined as all that exists and would have to include any parallel environments or anything else that might exist “out there” or sharing the same space. Multiple sub-universes, perhaps or multiple divisions of the Universe. Multiple Universes is an oxymoron.
Spot on.
I loved Fringe!
If a parallel universe without Obama, Pelosi, and friends exists, how do I get there?
The article is scientifically illiterate. It confuses the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics with multiverse cosmology.
Interpretations of quantum mechanics are a consequence not of our understanding of nature, but of trying to force the weirdness of quantum mechanics into the framework of classical physics. They are quite pointless. The interesting thing is to get right why quantum decoherence and statistical averaging cause large aggregates of quantum mechanical wave/particles to behave approximately as classical physics predicted, leaving quantum mechanics to be just weird (if you learned classical physics first and can’t get it out of your head as a picture of reality).
Multiverse cosmology is quite unrelated to the many-worlds interpretation, and is itself not a consequence of our understanding of nature, but of an intellectual exercise in trying to avoid the logical consequence of Big-Bang cosmology, that the first cause can’t be physical, by reviving the eternalness of matter, space and time putting the bits we can’t see (before the Big-Bang) in another universe (if they were in our universe, they’d be observable).
It is popular not because it is scientifically compelling, but because it provides committed atheistic naturalists with a way of avoiding the simpler explanation for the Big-Bang. It is really quite amusing to see polemical atheists abandon their strongest argument based on Occam’s Razor to embrace the multiplication of empirically unobservable entities and laws in the form of an infinitude of other universes with slightly different physical laws.
And found that mirror device which allowed movement between the universes :-)
I think the author of this article is conflating different kinds of multi universe theories. The Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics where every possible quantum choice of our universe is played out which seems to have inspired the typical “parallel universe” of science fiction. In this view universes may be the same up to a point in history and then diverge. Other views seem to have universes simply being something created by a big bang and have their own history un-split from there. There are tons of different kinds of these second kind.
between the Rovian weather machine and the basement mosque....
Only works in 2 dimensions....
Here it is spitting out a new BC for Obama
Schrodinger’s cat, a brilliant way to illustrate that something exists in two forms. Unless you’re the cat.
