An astrophysicist says he may have found evidence of alternate or parallel universes by looking back in time to just after the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago.
While mapping the so-called "cosmic microwave background," which is the light left over from the early universe, scientist Ranga-Ram Chary found what he called a mysterious glow, the International Business Times reported.
Chary, a researcher at the European Space Agency’s Planck Space Telescope data center at CalTech, said the glow could be due to matter from a neighboring universe "leaking" into ours, according to New Scientist magazine.
"Our universe may simply be a region within an eternally inflating super-region," scientist Chary wrote in a recent study in the Astrophysical Journal.
"Many other regions beyond our observable universe would exist with each such region governed by a different set of physical parameters than the ones we have measured for our universe," Chary wrote in the study.
While the findings sound promising and have already gained the attention of other astronomers, as Russia Today (RT) reported, it could be quite complicated to verify, since the Planck telescope provides limited data for further study.
“Unusual claims like evidence for alternate universes require a very high burden of proof,” Chary noted in the study.
The first thing I thought of was "Sliders." I used to love that show, I wonder if it still holds up.
I LOVED that show!
I didn't know I was a geek when I was a kid but looking back at all my favorite tv...I was a huge geek. I have just learned to embrace it as I get older.

I LOVED it too. My favorite episode was when they flipped society around to have the women in charge. Men had their asses grabbed and were belittled on appearance. It was my first explicit exposure to what male privilege meant.

My favorite was the one where England won the revolutionary war.

This is where my mind went:
My first thought was, "Are there zeppelins there?"
I'm not sure why, but when they started talking about the alternate universe leaking, I just started thinking about universe tampons. No celestial leakage.
I'm just wondering what all the other infinite mes are doing right now. I mean obviously one of me is totally banging Sam Heughan or Henry Cavill RIGHT THIS SECOND

The infinite yous are doing an infinite number of things. Right? I can't take this.
You and I are both banging Sam Heughans. But not the same Sam Heughans.
This is why I think that man made the Biblical God in his own image. We can't even conceive of the forces out there. We couldn't possibly conceive of the entity that created it. Just like they said in 'Cosmos' - your God is too small.
eta: I say this as someone who leans towards belief in "something"
