Modern science tells us that somewhere out there, in another fabric of time, there could be entire worlds that look very much like our own. Take our Parallel Universe Theory Quiz to see what you know about these unknown worlds.
To the uninitiated, quantum physics is an arcane and improbable way of looking at the universe. But the theoretical study of tiny items has big effects in the real world.
