Speaking of parallel universes.

Have you ever thought about parallel universes? I have one of those irrational fears that I'm sure everyone has. Everyone has that fear right? Just like the fear of heights I have.

Just think of everything that would be explained by the parallel universe:

You know that car that wasn't in the lane next to you before you went to switch?
How about ghosts? I don't believe in ghosts, but I bet if you thought you saw a ghost, it could be a person in a parallel universe, just right on the edge of both.
Ever see something out of the corner of your eye, then you turn and its gone?
Here's one for you, how about people with multiple personality disorders (wait, who said that?)? Crazy people, the voices they hear, couldn't they be someone on the edge of both?
Back to the personality disorders, what if each person is actually be from alternate or parallel universe just jumping around from one to another?

For a while now, I've had this really unreasonable fear that parallel universes will collide, at the wrong time. Mostly I think about it when I'm going through an intersection...imagine the calamity, the confusion if identical, parallel universes collided then. I'd be sitting there freaking out like a crazy person, saying that the light was green for me when it was clearly red with cars going through it. Of course the universes would immediately have gone back to their rightful places...

Ok, I don't really think about it all the time, but it does occur to me that it could happen..What a weirdo!
some science fiction books I read when I was in high school
