    can't find the clip I saw on Breakfast this morning, but they interviewed Sean Carroll who is a theoretical physicist, was talking about how Parallel Universes can exist...thought it was interesting, if not a bit confusing for my brain

    If you have access to TVNZ OnDemand, it is about 1 hour 48 into this mornings show, although is other stuff about the topic online.
