Hi,
Nice post. Einstein was a good plagiarizer due to being fortunate and ending up in a patent office where he was able to absorb other peoples ideas -
but... the man was a genius no doubt as he was able to take other peoples ideas and put them together, often in ways others had not thought of, much
like Bill Gates, both equally successful at selling other peoples ideas....but this rant is for another topic.
I have always held a notion of "Other Universes", parallel and discorded to our own world, within the same reality or a different one (i.e. how we
perceive the visible and invisible [what we imagine] in this universe of ours).
The Qur'an has some interesting points on this matter and there is a good article here:
xeniagreekmuslimah.wordpress.com...
It poses a few good examples and food for thought (if not outright evidence) but I wanted to quote some parts if I may:
In 1954, a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel
universes, exactly like our universe. These universes are all related to ours; indeed, they branch off from ours, and our universe is branched off of
others. Within these parallel universes, our wars have had different outcomes than the ones we know. Species that are extinct in our universe have
evolved and adapted in others. In other universes, we humans may have become extinct.

A quote from the Qur'an
*{O Moses! Verily I am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds….}* (Al-Qasas 28:30)
and,
*{..Blessed be Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds.}* (Al-A`raf 7:54)
In all these verses, the expression, “worlds” gives the idea of a plurality of worlds.
According to the Companion Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, Allah has created forty thousand worlds, and the earth and all the creatures on it are only one of
those worlds.

The post talks about 7 divisions, with 7 sub-divisions, and a further 7 sub-division and so on...All good food for thought whether you are a person of
religion or an atheist.
It would be pretty damn ignorant of anyone to look up at the heavens, then look down on this earth and in the depths of the sea and seriously think we
are only living (sentient) beings?
The only thing that is hindering us from understanding more is our over inflated egos.
