These universes are all related to ours; indeed, they branch off from ours, and our universe is branched off of others. Within these parallel universes, our wars have had different outcomes than the ones we know. Species that are extinct in our universe have evolved and adapted in others. In other universes, we humans may have become extinct.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://science.howstuffworks.com/parallel-universe.htm">With his <STRONG>Many-Worlds theory</STRONG>, Everett was attempting to answer a rather sticky question related to <STRONG>quantum physics</STRONG>: Why does quantum matter behave erratically? </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://science.howstuffworks.com/parallel-universe.htm">   In fairly short order, physicists studying the quantum level noticed some peculiar things about this tiny world.
