"In his book Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll imagines a fantastic, nonsensical world for ALice after she walks through a misty mirror. Physicist Stephen Hawking has speculated that a black hole, not a looking glass, might someday take us to many parrallel universes. Three years ago, The Matrix mixed a bit of science with Carroll's fiction to create Thomas Anderson, a contemporary Alice who discovers that the "real" world is in fact a computer-generated dream. Explore the idea of a parallel world through the eyes of a philosopher, an artist, a theologian, a psychologist or a scientist , or from any perspective you choose. How would you find this alterate reality? Who or what would take your there (by choice or accident)? Would you or could you be a different person in each world?"

Nice copy and paste job there ;)
Well, in a way, I am several different people in different worlds. I have several online personas, my work persona and my real self.

Actually Hawking strongly disagrees with the parallel universe theory and even wrote a paper challenging it, if you want to find someone who Agrees in this you should point you finger towards Kip Thorne but even he is very speculative...
Also anyone who goes into a black hole has there molecules ripped apart Atom by atom so if you do make it too another universe through there you are going to be too small to even be seen through a Microscope. But Wormholes now there is a whole other story :D

it's really werid, cuz everyone i ask about this question gives me scientific stuff. I'm hopeing to write more about fantasy...
P.S. Wormholes are only a few atoms wide also
now that u mention it, how come when my brother isnt in front of a mirror (like to the side of it) i can still see him in the mirror? is that considered an alternate reality?

true but there are ways too make them wider, Which takes an entire planets energy and doesn't stay wide for very long. So ....
