Are we living in *THAT* alternative universe?

11. Sliders never did any multiple scenarios like that.

It was always just one change. Most alternate universe stories do that so they can explore the implications of that one event.

Of course they never write about the universe that is identical to ours except for one quark that is a different phase out in a distant galaxy somewhere, or the one with that other quark out of phase. Or even the ones where maybe two particles are slightly different than ours. (Can you tell I have no respect for multiverse theories other than as interesting fiction?)


If you like this kinda stuff you should read "The Number Of The Beast" by Heinlein.



*spoiler alert*




In that book you think that the people traveling between universes are from our universe, until they get here. Then two start listing Presidents and they say "Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy...."

In their universe JFK wasn't killed. IMO one of the best paragraphs Heinlein ever wrote.
