Is There Another Me in Another Universe? (Parallel Worlds Theory)
Imagine waking up in an entirely different world where everything – your house, bank balance, friends, job, etc. – is entirely different, but you remain the same. I have been fascinated by the theory of parallel worlds to the extent that, at one point in my life, I was ready with a fictional storybook about it, which I may write someday. Today, I’m here to explain to you the concept of the multiverse and how various scientific theories and phenomena like quantum mechanics suggest that the existence of parallel worlds might be more than mere speculation or the imagination of a fiction writer.
I’ve come across numerous stories about people experiencing parallel worlds on Reddit and Quora. We can’t simply dismiss these accounts as lies or attribute them to some sort of psychological issue. If something like that were to happen to us, no one would believe us, and they would put us in the same category.

However, when someone shares their experiences, no matter how extraordinary they seem, we shouldn’t be quick to judge. Many bizarre tales related to aliens, ghosts, angels, etc., are often not shared due to the fear of ridicule. However, the subjective experience, regardless of whether it is objectively genuine, should be considered for serious discussion without disrespecting the person sharing it.
Suppose these theories are not just ideas but reality. Is there a probability that some other version of myself exists in another universe? Would I be the same person as I am in this reality there? These are some questions that I will try to answer with the help of this discussion. Continue reading
