Some of you may already be familiar with the theory that there are an almost infinite number of parallel universes in quantum theory.

It basically states that there is a seperate universe for every possibility. One for when you read this post, one for when you don't, etc.

I found an interesting link to a Scientific American article on the subject on Slashdot. I don't normally like Slashdot, but I thought this was worth a mention.

I know the theory of highway work: The shortest distance between two points is under construction.
