Parallel Universe (Red Dwarf Episode)
Parallel universe may refer to: Science * Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which implies the existence of parallel universes * Multiverse, the sum of all universes, e.g. everything that exists Philosophy * Possible world, a construct in metaphysics to bring rigor to talk of logical possibility * Modal realism, an account of possible worlds according to which they are all just as real as the actual world * Extended modal realism, the view that all worlds, possible as well as impossible, are as real as the actual world Arts and media * Parallel universes in fiction, a hypothetical self-contained plane of existence, co-existing with one's own * Alternate history, a genre of fiction in which historical events differ from reality * Alternative universe (fan fiction), fiction by fan authors that departs from the fictional universe of the source work Literature, film, and television * Parallel Universe (Red Dwarf), "Parallel Universe" (''Red Dwarf''), a 1988 TV episo ...

Many-worlds Interpretation
The many-worlds interpretation (MWI) is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts that the universal wavefunction is Philosophical realism, objectively real, and that there is no wave function collapse. This implies that all Possible world, possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in different "worlds". The evolution of reality as a whole in MWI is rigidly Determinism, deterministic and principle of locality, local. Many-worlds is also called the relative state formulation or the Everett interpretation, after physicist Hugh Everett III, Hugh Everett, who first proposed it in 1957.Hugh Everett]Theory of the Universal Wavefunction Thesis, Princeton University, (1956, 1973), pp. 1–140. Bryce DeWitt popularized the formulation and named it ''many-worlds'' in the 1970s. See also Cécile DeWitt-Morette, Cecile M. DeWitt, John A.
