Parallel Universes

For many years, science fiction authors have speculated on the possibility that the South won the Civil War, that dinosaurs never went extinct, and that you can buy a decent pint at a restaurant at the end of the universe to enjoy while watching the big bang. Within the past decade, physicists have come to realize that science fiction may not be fiction. Parallel universes exist side by side and our twin might literally be only a few millimeters away... in another universe.

We are still far from being capable of jumping dimensions, but if we could where would we choose to go? Most would choose to brave Vogon construction crews and poetry rather than take the red pill, sail a firefly, wield a light saber, or get beamed aboard the USS Enterprise. Results are posted in the wiki as well.
