"Strange happenings have been observed by cosmologists such as the Andromeda galaxy, 2.2 million light-years away speeding towards the Milky Way at 200,000 mph. This phenomenon makes sense logically if gravity leaking from an invisible universe were pulling the two galaxies together." ^Citation please? "It may make me feel less unique as a person, or maybe grateful; because many things I've not found time for are maybe being done by a copy of me somewhere else!" Puh-leeeease! This person is confusing two different connotations of the phrase "multiple universes". One is Everett's many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics (which some people think of as having multiple "you"s). The multiple universes concept used here has nothing to do with that. This article is like a child born out of a speculative mother and a speculative father. I'm at a loss for words to describe it. The article gets progressively worse after that. The last two paragraphs are pure and utter BS. Sorry if I'm not polite, but as someone who understands a bit of the physics, I find this to be a very very bad article.

Love it. Cosmological constant, dark energy, parallel universes, combining of our clones to become better humans. All things in the mind of people claimed to brilliant, not proveable (so far, of course) with any scientific method. The prove always behind the corner. I think this happens when people with a predetermination to esoteric thinking become scientists: They reach the barrier of science and start to invent stuff. Sure, if any of it proves true, it may be groundbreaking. But till then, I will stick to things which hold true in experiments. Not god, not the invisible pink unicorn, and for sure not merging with my clone of a parallel universe.
