Hey there! You ever heard of parallel dimensions? Bet you have. And what if I told you they really exist? I’ve got a story to tell you, and you’re
probably not gonna believe it, but here it is anyway. You know, I was just an ordinary guy: working
as a mascot, meeting with my bright friends, well, the usual stuff. Like everyone else, I enjoyed sci-fi movies
and books, but I didn’t really believe the things they showed were for real. At least until I stumbled upon this… object. It was lying in a ditch near the street where
I usually walk home from work. I don’t even know what made me pick it up. It looked like some kind of an MP3 player,
with just three buttons. I turned it this way and that, and then pressed
the middle button. What happened next was… inexplicable. I felt as if I was jerked by some invisible
hand over my head and legs, and then, before I could realize what was happening, I found
myself in a totally different place. Well, in fact, the place was the same, but
it felt absolutely different. Something was off, but what? And then I noticed. You see, there’s a movie theater further
down the street, and a huge poster on its front made me start. It said, “For the 20th anniversary of the
cult classic, James Cameron’s Gigantic is back on the big screen!” First of all, I knew for a fact that Cameron’s
classic movie was Titanic, not some Gigantic. And secondly, it was first shown in 1997,
which is already 22 years ago, so why the anniversary? I stopped a passerby and asked him if there
was some mistake. He only looked at me as if I was a lunatic
and said there hadn’t ever been any Titanic — neither a movie, nor a crash. She sailed on to New York without any trouble
and served for another 20 years after that. The Gigantic, on the other hand, sank on her
maiden trip in 1913, having crashed into an iceberg. That was when I realized it wasn’t some
prank — I somehow ended up in a parallel world. I’d heard about this before. There’s a theory of Multiverse, which states
there’s an infinite number of universes that exist parallel to each other and never
meet. Hypothetically, anything that could happen,
well, could happen in a parallel universe. In the one I found myself in, for example,
everything was the same but the tragedy of the Titanic. To say I was amazed would be a huge understatement. So I did what I thought was only natural:
I pressed the button again. The same feeling of being jerked up overwhelmed
me, and the next moment I got to another world. This time it was very different. I was in the middle of a busy highway instead
of a modest back street, and most importantly, many of the cars were flying above the road! There were several skyscrapers nearby, and
from the top of one of them, a jet-powered shuttle was starting into the sky. I rushed for a newspaper stand. After a brief search I understood that John
F. Kennedy had survived in 1963, and history changed its course for the better. So that’s what it would look like if there
was no Lee Harvey Oswald! By then I was already too excited to see what
else there was in the parallel universes. I pressed the button and welcomed the familiar
tug. …Hey, what’s this? Where am I? Oh, I get it. It’s The Simpsons universe. You know, I always wanted to do that one thing… I wonder where I can find Homer? Ah, here he is! Hi there! Big fan, nice to meet you! Marge, awesome hairdo! What? How do I know who you are? Never mind, just please let me pat you on
the tummy, big guy. Oh yes. Thanks. Bye! *click*
Phew, that was mind-blowing! Now where in the multi-world was I this time? Something was wrong. The road was there, but it wasn’t paved,
and the houses looked too… medieval, I guess? They were made of stone and the walls were
so thick it seemed as if they’d been built for protection rather than comfort. I walked to the nearest house and stopped
in my tracks when all of a sudden a rider came from around the corner. He wasn’t on a horse, though. He was sitting astride a dinosaur! Saddle, reins and all that! I made a few more steps and saw that a little
bit farther away there was a triceratops plowing a field. I was sure then: it was a universe where there
had been no cataclysm that made dinosaurs extinct. Hm, it wasn’t that bad by the looks of it,
you know! After all, humans still won the race for survival. The technological progress was obviously far
slower, though, so I guess I wouldn’t have liked it there anyway. *click*
Next destination was… Hey, something’s happened to me! Why am I so… 3D?! Ouch! My arm! It just… fell off! Can somebody please help me reattach my arm? Anyone?.. Huh? What’s this book? “1,000 Ways to Use a Glue Gun”… A glue gun, right! That’s exactly what I need! Where do I take one? Oh, here it is, thank you, whoever you are. Now they’re blowing some hot glue onto my
arm and carefully attaching it back to my body… Phew, as good as new! Thanks again, gentle giant! I think I’d rather go to the next world
until I lose some other part of my body. *click*
…huh? It’s water all around now! Nothing but the endless ocean in every direction. I wonder what could’ve happened here to
cause this. Wait, and if I dive a little bit… AAAHH! It’s a megalodon! Quick, outta here! *click*
Those universes were becoming crazier the further I went. The following one was the South Park universe. Well, who said it was impossible that a cartoon
world could exist as a separate entity? Anyway, I found myself watching how Cartman
and Kenny were hiding behind a tree and apparently waiting for something, while a huge bear was
approaching them from behind. I had no desire to see what would happen to
Kenny in the next few seconds (not Cartman though, he’d survive, as always), so I clicked
on… …and found myself on the busiest street
ever. There wasn’t even room enough to breathe
freely, let alone move around. So many people and cars, come on, where was
I? And strangely, everyone I saw around me was
quite young — none older than 25 or so. I struggled to find my way out of the crowd,
but failed. In the end, I just tugged someone on the sleeve
and asked them why there was such a mass of people here. The person replied it was because of the cure
for aging. Humans had finally found a way to stop growing
older, becoming virtually immortal, and that led to an enormous demographic boom. Since people now lived almost forever, the
planet quickly became overpopulated. Well, I guess it’s the price of eternal
life! Moving on, then. Hey, what the..? Am I being crafted again?.. No, this is different. Everything’s made of blocks. Looks like some kind of a computer game. Oh, there’s someone I can talk to. Hey, um, blue guy? Do you know what this world is about, by any
chance? No? You’re not a talkative type, are you? By the way, is that your friend behind you? That green blocky thing? Um, I don’t like that hissing sound it makes. Yikes! *boom*
Ouch, that hurt! I was lucky to have pressed the button before
it blasted me away! Okay, let’s see where I am now. Hah, another cartoon world — this time it’s
Family Guy and Peter Griffin in the flesh! I’ve already patted Homer Simpson on the
tummy, can I do the same with you, perhaps, for collection? Thanks. Awesome. Hm, this setting reminds me of something. It’s as if I saw all this traveling through
the universes stuff here… Well, maybe it’s just déjà vu. Clicking on! And finally, I’m here. Yep, here, in your world. What, did you think I was a light bulb for
no good reason? Of course I’m from a parallel universe! I just liked it here so much that I decided
to stay for a while. I hope it’s okay with you, guys? Anyway, I’ve got a question for you: how
else, do you think, could the history of our world have changed if some events had or hadn’t
happened? Share your theories down in the comments! Hey, if I managed to give you some interesting
info today, then give this video a like and share it with a friend. But don’t you go time and space traveling
