In this short bizzare Science Fiction (SF) story, Paul Melka describes about a million universes existing simultaneously.
The idea is that our consciousness is distributed across a million parallel universes we are not aware of (but the protagonist in the story is).
You know, I like the way SF authors imagine things that provide arguments to lot of things we observe in life.
According to an incident in story, the protagonist finds out that his girlfriend is going to cheat on him as it happened in one of the several universes. So he breaks up in the present universe. Foresightedness, my friends!
Have you ever had an experience in which you realized that if there had been a difference of just a second, your life could have been different. 100km speed on a crossroads? Slab from a construction site fallen just behind you? Anything like that? I am not saying it happened to me. But there are such incidents. Now if you want to go tell it luck, that would be boring. Don't you want to imagine stuff?
How about the idea that this could be more than just a story, and that there could be actually a million parallel universes? And our consciousness distributed among these universes may follow different laws of Time and Space... and that some of the universes are actually ahead in time than us.
How about the idea that what you call your gut feeling or your hunch, might just be communication from a parallel universe about what's going to happen?
There have been incidences where scientists have invented and discovered in dreams.
Have you heard of Benzene? Its structure was discovered in a dream! You want to call it dream? Really boring. Why couldn't it be a communication from another universe secretly describing the structure? So are dreams one form of communication with another universe? Maybe. Maybe not.
But thinking about it is really fascinating isn't it?
