The idea of parallel universes, once consigned to science fiction, is now becoming respectable among scientists – at least, among physicists, who have a tendency to push ideas to the limits of what is conceivable.
In fact there are almost too many other potential universes. Physicists have proposed several candidate forms of "multiverse", each made possible by a different aspect of the laws of physics.
The trouble is, virtually by definition we probably cannot ever visit these other universes to confirm that they exist. So the question is, can we devise other ways to test for the existence of entire universes that we cannot see or touch? ...

A note to our subscribers:
It's been an intense and fascinating time these past few years. I have been on sabbatical. Just coming out of a long quiet adjusting period! Nice to send you this discussion of multi-dimensional thinking in contemporary science circles.
This blog article archive has many fascinating discussions of just exactly what being multi-dimensional means. Have fun exploring!
I hope you are all doing well and hanging in there! The ride on planet earth continues....
Best,
Pat Crosby
