Picture: Gwyneth Paltrow in Sliding Doors (Miramax Films)
Remember the 1998 film 'Sliding Doors' with Gwyneth Paltrow that alternates between two parallel universes, ie. the two paths the central character's life could take depending on whether or not she catches a train? On Monday 16th July 2012 Brian Cox and Robin Ince question whether we are inhabiting a universe that is just one of a possibly infinite number of others. This idea has been a staple of science fiction for many years, but will science ever progress far enough to truly put the idea of mulitverses to the test?
