Alternate realities are real says scientist

[Raph's Girl]

Sooo... according to science there really is a multi-verse... and a scientist believes he found proof of light from said alternate earths leaking into ours. Uh....so can we blame the events on The Flash for this? :P

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.

That's the only logical explanation for why so many people can't remember how to spell the Berenstain Bears. Clearly.

[TurtleTitan97]

So it's only a matter of time before the Anti-Monitor shows up, right?

[Powder]

I wonder how many unfunny pop culture references this thread will have before it fades into obscurity. :tlol:

[PangolinFeets]

the glow could be due to matter from...
Our universe may simply be a....

SCIENCE CONFIRMS REAL. SCIENCE SAID SO.

Also, you forgot this bit:
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.

IT WAS WITH AN E, OBVIOUSLY.

I want to go back to the E universe.

[shuriken]

That's actually really neat. Not really saying they are real, just very very likely to exist.
This reminds me of a friend of mine. We sorta had an attraction thing but nothing really came from it and we always reference "An alternate universe" as like a running gag thing whenever people ask why we never got together. We'd be all "Oh we did. In an alternate universe."

[tmnt transformer]

Great. Let's hope the alternate universe is friendly and not full of dark beings that want to take over the planet...

[BubblyShell22]

Interesting to hear that they may be real. But like others have said, they probably have to study further to make sure this is possible.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Dammit. Of course I'm stuck in the reality where I DON'T have superpowers. :tsad:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I know, so disappointing, right? I was thinking the same thing. You'd think we could at least pick the one where we're both famous authors like King or Rowling.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

YES.

No superpowers, no famous writing careers... this reality sucks. :tlol:

[ProactiveMan]

I found a 'mysterious glow' once, but it turned out to be an overpowered blue LED on a USB phone adapter, plugged into an outlet in my kitchen.

In an alternate reality, that mysterious glow was actually an alien power source that gifted you with the ability to manipulate matter on an atomic level.

But you abused that gift and had to be taken out by a superhero who didn't have a "no-kill" moral code, so honestly, it's probably for the best. Consider yourself lucky, I guess...

[Amaranthus]

Maybe there's an alternate reality in which I have a gf.
:^)

[ProactiveMan]

Abusing gifts is so like alternate reality me.

[ZariusTwo]

If you have a beard, you are the alternate twin

[precision]

That's the only logical explanation for why so many people can't remember how to spell the Berenstain Bears. Clearly.

You wouldn't happen to be a GLPer? I've heard of the theory that some people thought Mandela had died years before his actual death.

[Leo656]

If you have a beard, you are the alternate twin

Doesn't it have to be an Evil Goatee, specifically? Didn't Star Trek set the Evil Goatee precedent? Furthermore, I have perpetual Don Johnson 5 O'clock shadow, I never have an Evil Goatee or a clean-shaven face so am I just a Neutral Singularity or what?

It's no wonder we can't move forward on this kinda sh*t. Too many Unknown Unknowns.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

But what about women? We don't have beards, so how do we tell who is an alternate? Knowing my luck, I'm probably the one.....

[Leo656]

But what about women? We don't have beards, so how do we tell who is an alternate? Knowing my luck, I'm probably the one.....

That's easy. Women with armpit hair are automatically evil and everyone already knew that.

When in doubt, check the pits. "Don King in a headlock"? EVIL TWIN. 100% accurate 120% of the time. Which is 150% amazing because anything higher than 100% is bullsh*t. So like, yeah, WOW.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

So.... only French women are evil? And what if you just forget to shave for a few days? Does that make you evil? See, that rule makes no sense....

[Leo656]

If you analyze exactly what you said a little more carefully you'll realize you've only reinforced my point. :trazz:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

So you're evil if you forget to shave? C'mom, man, I might be a witch and yeah, I get kind of catty sometimes, but that doesn't make me EVIL!! Cause I do sometimes forget when I've got a lot on my mind. Didn't think that was a sign of being evil, just preocupied.

[Leo656]

To all of the men who have to endure those kinds of "off days", it's astonishingly Evil. :trazz::trazz::trazz:

"Preoccupied" is more like, "Whoops! Haha, silly me! I forgot to take those Ben Wa Balls out before I went to work! This ought'a be a fun meeting! Ha ha ha!" :tgrin:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Ah, so you were referring to THAT time? No that wasn't what I meant at all. Granted, ALL women get a little "evil" then, but I was just talking about when you've had a really busy and stressful week, and you just plain don't think about it.

[Leo656]

No, not specifically. I meant "off days" in the general non-shaving sense, but yes, they do occasionally line up with other "off days" and that's just doubly awful.

For a guy, that just adds up to, "Great, my pet manic-depressive cactus is once again alternating between crying, screaming at me, and asking if she's getting fat." No bueno. In fact, Anti-Bueno.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

See, I don't really equate the two as being the same. My off days qhen I just forget are usually just busy and hectic. Days when you barely have time for a quick shower much less a shave.

[Commenter 42]

Earth 2 can have our Kardashians and Trump, but we get their Hawking and Dawkins, I called it-black-magic no erase-ies.

No take-backs-jack.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I've had an Evil Goatee for years now.

I'm my own Mirror Universe self! All of my bad behavior and sadism is now excusable and understandable!!! :tevil:

[Jephael]

I just wish I lived in a reality where @$$holes didn't exist!!!

[MsMarvelDuckie]

No such place. Every universe has 'em. Pretty sure it's required. It's like a law of physics, or something. Balance, man. Multiversal balance.

[IndigoErth]

Great. Let's hope the alternate universe is friendly and not full of dark beings that want to take over the planet...
Given the state the world, I think we already live in that one. That other universes need to fear.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Maybe there's an alternate reality in which I have a gf.
:^)

Given the state the world, I think we already live in that one. That other universes need to fear.

Soon we will cross over and conquer them all!!!!

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Hmm, An inter-dimensional warlord? I could see myself doing that. I still need to perfect my anti-matter particle cannon first, though. Gotta' have a doomsday weapon to scare them into submission, after all.

[TigerClaw]

There's probably an alternate universe in which, TMNT did not exist.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Sacrilege! Bite your tongue, heathen non-believer!!

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

There's probably an alternate universe in which, TMNT did not exist.

Why so you think I'm going to war? The Holy Gospel of Hamato Yoshi MUST be spread throughout the cosmos!

They will welcome me with open arms... Intergalactic Turtle Power, forced upon them by my intergalactic crusade!!!!

[plastroncafe]

Um...you're IN the universe where the TMNT don't exist.
Everywhere else they're real.

A la All Star Superman.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

No, no, we're just in the universe where they're fictional. He meant the one where nobody ever heard of or created them. The "No TMNT At All" universe. That's not us.

[plastroncafe]

I know what he meant, I just happen to like my idea more.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

But that would be a very BORING universe. I'm glad we at least have the fictional turtles....

[plastroncafe]

To each their own.

[shuriken]

What if there's a gender swapped universe... trippy
