The term Parallel Universe; is the hypothetical sum of different observable universes, defined as multiple universes. The known universe, which we have been able to examine for years with a telescope, is approximately 93 billion light years wide. This universe, however, corresponds to a very small portion of the hypothetical multiple universe.
The finite and infinite existence of multiple universes is the hypothetical whole of the possible universes, and these universes are all that exist; it covers all space, time, matter and energy as well as physical laws and physical changes. These universes are also called “Parallel Universes” or “alternative universes”.
According to a classification, the universes that make up the multiple universes are interconnected and are part of a single system defined by certain rules of physics and mathematics. In this model, it is assumed that universes have a common origin and are in contact with each other.
When parallel theory came to the agenda, Hollywood and European films became the focus of attention. Hundreds of films have been filmed that directly or indirectly address this theory. Below you will find 13 of the best parallel films ever created.
