Parallel Universes

Today i had a spooky experience.I bet many among you have gone through it-the time when you hear someone call your name ;only to find no one when you turn.Now in my case it happened at three in the morning while i was having a liesurely stroll in the park.
That set my mind racing and i come to remember an explanation offered by one of many magazines i read.here it goes...
Evidently we are not alone in the universe.There exists a number of parallel universes each with its own peculiarity.Evidently the universe contains our mirror image though it is our anti matter.If you were to shake ur hands with ur anti then both of u would vanish in a bang.This parallel universe thing came into the mind of a graduate named Hugh Everette in 1954.Now a days scientists working on the string theory have started placing emphasis on it.I remember a movie "the one"of jet li in which the character goes across different universes killing of his carbon copies therby gaining in strength.Now the same hypothesis may hold true-An infinite no. of universes with an infinite no. of ur carbon copies each differing from youin a unique way.Sounds crazy,doesn't it?
Not according to superstring theory,according to which there are 11 dimensions instead of the three we are familiar with.They say that our Universe is just one bubble among an infinite no. of bubbles which ripple as they wobble through the eleventh dimension.
Now quantum does not offer much solace either!Photons behave both as a particle as well as wave.On top of which comes Heisenberg's principle which says that by observing quantum event we effect its behaviour(pos. & vel.).Bohr said that partcles exist in all of its possible states which is given by wave function and principle of superposition.The moment we view it,it is forced to choose one of possible states thereby altering its natural behaviour.
What ever be the reality the idea holds fascination.

Very interesting. I have had such experience on several occasions. But people say they come from the departed ones willing to pass on a message!
