So, here's something I thought about parallel dimensions.
The premise to my theory is that a parallel dimension is defined as a bifurcation of the reality we live in, where events happen in a different order or way. We continuously shift between dimensions, by every choice we make in our life. We can only live in one dimension and the others are not accessible to us.
If we think about time, it can be represented as a set of events happening in an ordered way. In this case I'm meaning event as a movement of electrical charges or matter. Since time flow doesn't have a "frequency", we can divide a portion of time infinite times, until we can get the "moment" when one single event happens.
Each time an event is going to happen, reality is split in two: in one reality, the event does indeed happen and it yelds its consequences. In the other one, the event does not happen, without a reason, it just doesn't. And that is when two dimensions are born.
This means infinite dimensions exist, and in each dimensions events will evolve (and new dimensions will be created) as a result of the generator event happening or not.
You can think of it as a tree scheme:

Every branch of the tree divides into two and so on, towards an indefinite future and an infinite number of other branches.
If we can get to the roots of this "tree", we will find the beginning of time, when the first event happened (or didn't happen), and everything we know today evolved from it.
An event is indeed meant as a single movement of mass or charge, but we can make "groups" of events to determine an action, which could be anything from sneezing (or not sneezing) to shooting (or not shooting) or even breaking your leg (or not breaking it). In fact, you can think about any of those as a set of electrical charge or mass movements.
Here are a few examples of how you could change the reality you would live in by making an action. The requirements for this would naturally be the knowledge of one of the event branches (the one we come from), and the ability to travel back in time to where that event branch was generated.
Say your dog was hit by a car yesterday, and it died. The dog being hit by a car is an event group that generated a reality branch in which the dog died due to the hit.
This is the reality you live in. Now say you could go back in time, and make a traffic light go red and stop the car that would hit your dog. Whenever you make the traffic light turn red, you've entered a new reality branch. As a consequence of the traffic light turning red, the car will stop, and your dog won't be hit, thus it will not die.
Also note that once you've modified the past, you will never be able to reach back to a future that is the exact same as the one you came from. In fact, by going into the past you automatically modify it, and even if the changes aren't noticeable they do happen, and you can not avoid it in any way (just by traveling back in time you've created a new reality branch).
So yeah. This means that infinite parallel dimensions exist, and the difference between two that come from the same branch is of only one event. It also mean that traveling through dimensions would be possible, but it can only happen in one way, since there is no return to your old dimension.
Wow, you are the FIRST person to have ever thought of such a theory, Congratulations!
I think Stephen Hawking beat you to it...

Why do you use the word dimension if you haven't even defined it yet?

Your theory doesn't work because you obviously do not understand the concept of dimensions judging by this part.
Your essentially stating, "When you make a decision, you pass through another dimension."
This is not your theory dude. You're INCREDIBLY late on this. Any chance you were "inspired" by 1.21 gigawatts of electricity passing through you?
It's interesting, but i'd need to see a bit more.
Not your theory.

This.
Our 'reality' can be described in it's most basic form as a universe consisting of 4 dimensions, 3 spatial dimensions and a fourth temporal dimension. We can imagine the time dimension as being a dimension in which every point has it's own unique set of spacial dimensions. Our velocity along the time dimension is equivalent to the speed of light. Our velocity in 4 dimensions is equal to the speed of light, c. Our velocity v = sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + t^2), so as we increase velocity in our 3 spacial dimensions (x,y,z) our velocity in the time dimension must decrease to maintain equality. This is an explanation as to why time slow down as you approach the speed of light.
Not sure if this is true, but It was in a program we watched in advanced physics 2 years ago and it seemed a plausible explanation to me.
That's not a theory.
Also, you don't seem to understand what a dimension is.
In my opinion, for parallel universes to exist there'd have to be infinite numbers of them, which means infinite numbers of universes where almost anything is possible, i.e. travelling to other parallel universes, resulting in every single possible thing happening at the same time and eventually reality breaking.
I realise this is a ridiculous theory, but whatever :v:
This has first be tought of in 1985 by William, something something.
If the universe is infinite (Or effectively ever expanding) then surely everything that ever is, was, could be, couldn't be, won't be and will be already exists in this universe. Why would there be another? It would be the same.
holy fuck i saw that same thing on stargate did you write that episode
universe and dimension are not interchangeable
a dimension is a number used in a coordinate system
if you have a sheet of paper, you need two numbers to define a point on it - height and length. this means the surface is two-dimensional
in space-time, we need 4 coordinates - height, length, depth and time. therefore space-time is four dimensional
now you could well state that your multi-verse idea is five-dimensional - you need 5 numbers to describe height, length, depth, time and which universe the point is in. but assigning each universe a separate dimension is [B]wrong[/B]. it's akin to giving each centimetre increment on a 2d graph a dimension of its own, it doesn't work
also if you're wondering, you can have fractional dimensions. these come up in fractals, for more information see this article:

in fact, "parallel dimension" is an oxymoron
by definition, dimensions are perpendicular to each other
I think i saw this on history channel once...
That's not a theory, I'm not even sure if it's a hypothesis. It doesn't have enough evidence to be a theory.
Sorry.
Dude! Dont go so far, liek i did! YOU WILL RUIN UR FKIN LIFE LIKE I aLLMOST DID.
I was thinking and searching really deep into this how is space made(by accident?),ghosts are real(we die and our souls burn),if you die u will go to forever blackness(I want that god is real!)
Really dont go that far u will turn int psycho couse of this thinking you will ask yourself
Why we are even living if we die and its all (GaME OVER)!
accept is as friendly suggest, not an [b]attack![/b]
:smile:

Very similar to my idea.
If everything is possible in one universe or another, surely there is one where parallel universes aren't possible.
Perpendicular universes?
Did you guys hear about these thing they call Dinosaurs? They are supposedly giant lizard bones.
By the way if you think about this in an abstract term, even in an infinite closed system with infinite outcomes there are still only a finite number of outcomes.
Isn't this just the Schrodinger's cat experiment?

Damn it that's just what I thought when I read the title! You beat me to it! :P
Don't you mean you'r hypothesis?
You're confusing dimensions with timelines, and this is actually the leading theory on how time works right now. You kind of thought up something there are twenty-thousand-page books written about.
You're mixing up dimensions, universes and timelines.
