Also, what Il Duce said.
i was in the midst of typing this yesterday, Tuna, but the timer cut me off

recent science suggests that there can be parallel universes, and multiverses

however, my own 2 cents to this is even if we can traverse to alternate universes, you'd still find another you who was bound to the "predestination" of that universe, and choices he made would still not have been choices of his own free will

if you want to trade places with an "alternate" you, you'd find yourself being bound to the "fatalism" of that universe

not to mention you'd probably go insane, cos the laws are different
