Professor Howard Wiseman and Dr. Michael Hall however have put forward a groundbreaking new theory proposing that parallel universes are not only real but that they interact with one another through a subtle repulsive force.The physicists believe that this interaction could help to explain the oddities of quantum physics.

"In the well-known ‘Many Worlds Interpretation', each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made," said Professor Wiseman.

"All possibilities are therefore realized – in some universes the dinosaur-killing asteroid missed Earth. In others, Australia was colonized by the Portuguese."
