Makes you wonder how consciousness is affected by these realities. It means that for every action you take, to some extent you chose your own reality. Considering that everyone with free will does this, it may imply that everyone is criss crossing the multi-verse. That all those close to you that you've known for years may not be from the original reality you met them in. That all you know today may not be relevant in the future because everything will have shifted to be linear to the reality you find yourself in. Maybe there were weapons of mass destruction, for instance... But in this reality they no longer exist because we all chose the reality where they do not. It may not have been a pack of lies, it's just truth thats wrong. I think the Bush Administration has the hang of this multi-verse.

Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as "one of the most important developments in the history of science".

The parallel universe theory, first proposed in 1950 by the US physicist Hugh Everett, helps explain mysteries of quantum mechanics that have baffled scientists for decades, it is claimed.

In Everett's "many worlds" universe, every time a new physical possibility is explored, the universe splits. Given a number of possible alternative outcomes, each one is played out - in its own universe.

A motorist who has a near miss, for instance, might feel relieved at his lucky escape. But in a parallel universe, another version of the same driver will have been killed. Yet another universe will see the motorist recover after treatment in hospital. The number of alternative scenarios is endless.

It is a bizarre idea which has been dismissed as fanciful by many experts. But the new research from Oxford shows that it offers a mathematical answer to quantum conundrums that cannot be dismissed lightly - and suggests that Dr Everett, who was a Phd student at Princeton University when he came up with the theory, was on the right track."

So there's a parallel universe where they actually counted the votes in Florida and Gore won? Or one where the GOP's ballot stuffing in Ohio in 04 got caught and they all went to jail and Kerry won? Dammit! Why did I get cursed to this shithole of a parallel universe!
