Unless of course, they are all reflected images of one universe ! as has been mentioned before in a post called "A Hall of Mirrors Universe," in which yours truly seems to have forgotten how many sides a soccer ball has. Anyway...
<personal plug> Oh soccer balls, smoccer balls! I think the esteemed Science Fiction novelist, Larry Niven, sed it best when in a short story based on his imaginative universe called "Known Space" an adventurer was commissioned to travel in a specially outfitted spaceship (designed by the crazy & paranoid Pupeteers species) to the core of our galaxy. However, the closer our adventurer got to the galactic core the more obvious it became that the core was in the process of exploding in one unbelievably massive supernova. Of course our adventurer reported his findings when he returned. Nobody, excepting the Pupetters, were terribly freaked. With deadly radiation traveling at nearly light speed everyone figured they had another five thousand years (plus or minus a thousand) before it was time to move. But then I might be prejudiced, having illustrated one of Larry's novels, RingWorld.

I'm currently negotiating the publication rights in adjacent mirror universes. </personal plug> Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com
