Multiple Universe/alternate realities. Anyone have any good scientific resources on them? I cant find any. I always thought it had to do with the uncertanty of electron states.

Scientific American had a pretty good write up on multiple universes about 2 months ago.
You can also get some anecdotal information from STAR TREK, episods 8, 11, 15, 22, 25, 31,..... |
If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know. |

Yeah, I read that article; it was very informative.
I think that both the original series and the next gen. had episodes on alternate universes. Also, SLIDERS (or was that SPIDERS? I can't remember  ). |

I once posted a thread ( The way-too- Link ) over on the astronomy board. Its based on some implications-------oh, well. You read it if you like. 
The whole idea is nicely summed up in the Science News article that I referenced (and linked).
The basic (and highly readable) reference is to work done by the University of Melbourne's Robert Foot ( http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/~foot/ ).
I briefly looked around in the many forums at http://SuperStringTheory.com/forum/forums_i.html but didn't find anything explicit about "alternative universes". 
My personal interest in the subject is, as usual, practical rather than theoretical: A mirror matter (and, thus, undetectable) asteriodal impactor. (If you can detect a potentially hazzardous impactor far enough away, you can try to intercept it.)  |
