PAR·AL·LEL U·NI·VERSE
(in quantum mechanics) a universe theorized as existing alongside our own, although undetectable.
"the concept of parallel universes is not widely accepted in physics, but is gaining ground"
(in fantasy or science fiction) a world conceived of as coexisting with and having certain similiarities to the known world but different from it in some fundamental way.
"they are whisked out of World War II London into the spectacular parallel universe known as Narnia".
A parallel universe, also known as a parallel dimension, alternate universe, or alternate reality, is a hypothetical self-contained plane of existence, co-existing with one's own. The sum of all potential parallel universes that constitute reality is often called a "multiverse".
