This is a poor, and fairly useless article. The source it links to is better though.<p>Summary. Brian Greene is a respected and credible theoretical physicist who teaches at Columbia and has written several books.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Greene" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Brian_Greene</a><p>Greene wrote a book published in 2011 about multiple universes called &quot;The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos&quot;.<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Hidden-Reality-Parallel-Universes/dp/0307278123" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;The-Hidden-Reality-Parallel-Universes&#x2F;...</a><p>When he was doing his book tour for that one, the 9News article was written and features an excerpt from the first chapter of the book.<p><a href="http://www.9news.com/news/article/182664/509/Is-there-another-you-reading-this-in-a-parallel-universe" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.9news.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;article&#x2F;182664&#x2F;509&#x2F;Is-there-anothe...</a><p>Somebody at this IEET site, whatever it is, found the 2 year old article and today published a poor summary of it filled with mumbo jumbo and hand waving. That is what is linked to by OP.<p>To find more information about how the multiverse theory is testable, presumably the details are in his book, which has fairly good reviews on amazon and is the #4 best seller in the category of Quantum Physics.<p>A summary of the book&#x27;s content is present on a wikipedia page dedicated to it.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hidden_Reality:_Parallel_Universes_and_the_Deep_Laws_of_the_Cosmos" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Hidden_Reality:_Parallel_Un...</a>

This is a terrible article. It contains no information about how what is going to be testable. It also contains sentences that make no sense, eg, &quot;Researchers at the WMAP space telescope recently discovered a force 10,000 times larger than the Milky Way&quot;. The Milky Way is not a force.

Please note that IEET has nothing to do with IEEE or similar institutions who will only publish peer reviewed material. This article sounds like it takes parts from proper science and others from Quantum Mysticiscm <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mysticism" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Quantum_mysticism</a>

What in the world is this pseudoscience garbage doing on HN?

How will we test for these worlds? Per the article, let&#x27;s talk about psychology and sociology instead

Some &quot;science&quot; is just warmed over religion.
