I would love it. Sometimes I wish I could move to another dimension, maybe "the spirit world" just to get away from the NT's. Heaven is the place I want to go to

More than anything just about. I would really need to share it with someone to completely enjoy it, so I couldn't just evaporate from existence. I wonder what would happen if you took mass from one universe into another without replacing it


Nothing, the law of conservation of mass and energy would be maintained but over the whole multiverse.

Not particularly. I am used to where I am at and would find it difficult to move to another metropolitan area, let alone another universe. Then again... how interesting would the junkyards be in this other universe? I one went to Las Vegas on vacation and spent a whole day driving around the industrial areas just visiting junkyards. It was infinitely more interesting than the casinos! So...umm... count me out for universe tourism but count me in for junkyard tourism.

It might be interesting to visit another universe but I would like to be able to travel back to this one. Has anyone read The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter? In that book there are infinite unspoiled planet Earths to the "west" and "east" of this one that can be reached with devices called Steppers.

Somebody wrote a Sandman fanfiction about Desire and Death giving people the opportunity to live in the fictional universe of their choice (eg Marvel comics universe, the Harry Potter universe) with the catch that they would die in the real world:

sylvia browne believes that in another part of our milky way galaxy, there is an "earth II" which is slightly larger and cooler than our own earth, and is populated only by lower life forms and no intelligent life. if somebody invented a "stepper" i'd be first in line to go there for a visit.

I could do a visit, but I think I'd end up missing it here. I'm used to it and it's comfortable. I can't imagine having to learn a whole new world.

Yes. I would like to visit a parallel universe and stay there forever. Specifically one in which two years ago, I stepped out of a particular classroom at school and began drinking my bottle of juice. If I had done so, my life would probably be considerably better now than it is.

Funny, isn't it? How small, seemingly irrelevant events can have such drastic effects on one's life...

Universe Tourism. Count me in. I'd like to visit some of the following:

- The universe where I'm an omnipotent deity;
- The universe where there is no Islam;
- The universe where dinosaurs did not go extinct;
- The universe where mankind mastered space travel before the Roman Empire was founded.


Can we just visit the universe where there is no religion at all and not just no Islam? I'd be interested to know how far the human race would have got by now without the period when the Christian church suppressed any real attempt to get to the bottom of the mysteries of the universe. Sadly, right now, we seem to be slipping backwards toward a place more like that dark old time. It's very sad - we could have easily had a colony on another planet by now.
