All language subtitles for Unveiled - Do Parallel Universes Exist_ _ Unveiled XL Documentary (720p).English

Have you ever felt as though there could
be more to reality? Like there are whole

worlds somewhere out there, hidden
from view? Research into parallel

universes has dramatically accelerated
in recent years, and with good reason…

because many now believe that there’s
more to this life than just this life.

This is Unveiled, and today we’re
answering the extraordinary question;

do parallel universes exist?

While the concept of parallel universes can
be traced as far back as Ancient Greece,

it wasn't until 1957 that the idea really took
hold. It was in that year that Hugh Everett

established the first major multiverse theory,
suggesting that our universe coexists parallel

to an infinite number of other universes.
From here, many came to believe that you

might be able to cross over and intersect at
various points in time and space… across an

intricate web of interdimensional doorways. And,
although the multiverse is yet to be officially

proven and therefore remains theoretical,
there are several stories and legends of

incidents so seemingly inexplicable that there are
suggestions of a glitch in this hidden structure.

For today’s first case, we’re heading
to Japan, and to an oft-repeated tale of

the man from Taured. Exact dates tend to
differ between retellings of this story,

but it’s generally said that sometime in
the mid-to-late 1950s a man presented his

passport at a Tokyo airport, expecting to
be let through the gate. All his documents

seemed to be in order except for one thing; the
country that had issued the passport, Taured,

did not exist. Assuming he was some kind of
criminal, the customs officers at the airport

allegedly held the man for questioning. Bizarrely,
when he was asked to point Taured out on a map,

he could apparently do so… only it was labeled
as what we know to be Andorra, instead. According

to the man, the unknown country of Taured was a
thousand years old, though. And he was reportedly

able to show the officers several official
passport stamps (as well as currencies) from

various other countries where he had seemingly had
business in the past… to further prove his case.

Naturally, the officers did a little more
digging, according to most versions of the story,

and called up the company the man claimed to
work for. They discovered that it did exist,

but not in anywhere known as Taured. The hotel
at which the man insisted he had a reservation

was also called, and again it was real… but no
reservation was found under the correct name.

The officers were, then, at a loss. Everything
seemed to be legitimate and in order, except for

the fairly significant fact that Taured, and by
extension the man himself, just did not exist.

Pending further investigation, it’s said
that the man was then sent to a nearby hotel,

where he was placed under armed guard (with the
suspicion being that he may still be a criminal,

of some kind). However, after just one night’s
stay, in the morning the man was gone. And all his

documents, too. Every trace of him had vanished,
and he was supposedly never heard from again. So,

what happened? Perhaps unsurprisingly, this
tale is seen by some as just a complicated

hoax. Official records of the mystery
man don’t, after all, appear to exist.

And his story has some similarities to another
case of a genuine fraudster, again in Japan,

around the same time. But still, some believe that
he was really a visitor from a parallel universe

who had accidentally spliced between his world
and ours. Ultimately, his fate remains unknown.

For our second story, we’re heading a century
further back in time, to news of a case first

published in the UK, in 1851. Reports centered on
the small German village of Frankfurt-on-the-Oder,

where a man was reportedly discovered
wandering around in a confused haze.

When questioned by the local authorities, he
allegedly managed to explain that his name

was Jophar (or Joseph) Vorin and that he had
no idea where he was. He claimed that he had

come to Germany in search of his brother
but had previously been shipwrecked in an

unknown location. The man insisted he was
originally from a country called Laxaria,

though, a place that no one else had
ever heard of… because it doesn’t exist.

Vorin is said to have explained that Laxaria was
found in a continent-like region of Earth called

Sakria. But, again, no one had heard of such
a place. What's more, Vorin couldn’t retrace

his trip to that point on a map, and didn’t
recognize any of the names of the continents

as we know them. He reportedly continued to reveal
more about his home world, though, explaining that

the Earth he knew was divided into five main
regions in total… apparently called Sakria,

Aflar, Aslar, Auslar, and Euplar. He professed
to speak fluent Laxarian, too, as well a second

unknown language of Abramian. Finally, and
again according to reports at the time, he

described himself as a follower of Christianity,
but of an unknown branch called Ispatian.

It’s said that authorities ultimately sent
him to Berlin for further questioning… with

some retellings claiming that he escaped on
his way there, never to be heard from again.

As with the man from Taured, though, there is
little by way of an official record of Vorin’s

appearance, and especially of his alleged
disappearance at the end of the story. So,

could this simply be another hoax? Or was there
really an error in the multiverse once more,

before Vorin was sent back to his own reality?

Unlike with our first two stories, where residents
of alternate universes purportedly visit our own,

today’s remaining two tales are of individuals
from our reality allegedly making an accidental

visit into a foreign dimension. The first has
been widely attributed to an account given by a

Doctor Raul Centeno, in Peru, concerning the
country’s infamously spooky Markawasi Stone

Forest. Centeno claims to have treated a woman who
accidentally passed through an interdimensional

doorway that can be found somewhere within this
particular piece of the South American landscape.

Centeno’s patient, along with a group of
friends, reportedly decided to go for a

night hike through the woods there, when
they happened across a small wooden cabin,

clearly with people inside. So the story goes,
the group soon discovered that the people in the

cabin were incongruously dressed in old-fashioned,
what’s usually described as seventeenth century,

clothing. It’s then said that the hikers
claimed to have quickly felt an unusual,

out-of-control desire to join in with the
unexpected celebration… and so the woman,

Centeno's patient, attempted to enter the
cabin, before her friends changed their

minds and pulled her back. But not before half
of her body had passed through the doorway.

It was allegedly then that the woman discovered
that the side of her body that had passed through

had become paralyzed. This was predominantly
why she sought treatment from Doctor Centeno

in the first place, who diagnosed her with
hemiplegia. But, despite the diagnosis,

the doctor couldn’t decipher a clear cause for
this sudden and inexplicable condition. Instead,

reports are that he believes that the woman’s
unfortunate fate may have been the result of a

brief visit into an alternate dimension. One lying
just beyond that mysterious Markawasi doorway.

Finally, one Pedro Oliva Ramirez also reportedly
took a wrong turn through another universe,

but this time in Spain, in November of
1986. According to another of the most

infamous (and widespread) interdimensional
claims out there, Ramirez was on his usual

route home from work in the city of Seville, when
he passed by an odd and previously unknown part

of the road. An instantly peculiar six-lane
highway that he definitely didn’t recognize.

Along the side of this new road were tall
buildings that Ramirez had never seen before,

despite traveling that way most days. It
gets stranger, though, because Ramirez then

reportedly felt a hot and distinct temperature
change in his car, and he heard a series of

voices… allegedly informing him that he had
been transported to a different hemisphere.

Unsure of how to proceed, the story typically
continues that Ramirez drove until he came to

an intersection with signs pointing in three
directions. Taking one of the roads, and

believing he was headed back to Seville, Ramirez
was apparently amazed when his car came to a stop,

he glanced out of his window, and found he was
parked right in front of his home - where he had

been trying to get to all along. It’s said that a
confused Ramirez then tried to retrace his steps

several times, but he could never find his way
back to that six-lane highway. So how did he get

home, and who were the voices that spoke to him
through his car? To this day, it’s a mystery.

Importantly, with all four of these cases,
there’s precious little by way of an official

account. Or an official investigation. These
tales predominantly exist as urban legends,

but some of them have been debated for
decades now… and with no clear solutions.

From “Star Trek” to Marvel and everywhere
in between, science fiction loves itself a

good ol’ fashioned, interweaving tale of parallel
universes. But, for some - for increasing numbers,

in fact - the idea that this reality isn’t all
there is… is really starting to catch on. Other

dimensions and apparent glitches between here and
there continually crop up in actual real life…

The incredible story of Lerina Garcia from
Spain. In 2008, when Garcia was 41 years old,

she posted onto a Spanish online forum asking for
help as she’d come to believe that she may have

jumped into a parallel universe. According
to Garcia, the world around her had changed

in subtle but definite ways… leading her
to think that one morning she had simply

woken up in a different version of the reality
she had lived in up until the night before.

The first change was her bedsheets, which
she literally didn’t recognise as belonging

to her. At this point confused (but still
not suspecting what was to come) she got up,

went through her usual daily routine, and
went to work. But, when she got there,

she found unknown people in her building, and
then that her name had been replaced on her office

door. After a little searching, she found that
while she did still work for the same company,

she was apparently employed in a totally
different position. The day before,

everything had been as it normally was…
but today, everything was different.

By now, Lerina was beginning to get seriously
worried, and so she visited her doctor, to check

for any physical abnormalities - including
the possible presence of drugs or alcohol in

her system - but she was given a clean bill of
health, no substances were present, and was sent

on her way. Things quickly got even stranger,
however, when her own boyfriend was nowhere to

be found… and when she then came to learn that
she was, in fact, still with her ex-boyfriend,

who she’d broken up with a few months beforehand.
Her entire life had seemingly rewritten itself.

Other members of Garcia’s family were at least the
same people, but more inconsistencies kept coming

up - including that her sister had apparently
no longer had shoulder surgery (despite Garcia

distinctly remembering that she just recently had
been to the hospital for the procedure) and also

that many of Garcia’s messages and emails had
apparently disappeared, too. For the most part,

the rest of the world hadn’t drastically
changed… but this one person’s personal life had

dramatically altered. And, while it’s difficult
to verify the story, some believe that Garcia had

fallen victim to a reality slip - leaving her just
a few timelines removed from her original life.

Next, the story of an anonymous blogger who goes
by the name James Richards, and who also claims

to have experienced a parallel world where the
Beatles never broke up. His story - again posted

online, and which he claims happened on September
9th 2009 - is certainly attention grabbing. First

he says that he cannot reveal his true name due to
safety concerns, and then he reveals all about how

he came to own an apparently genuine Beatles album
that was never actually released in this reality.

According to his account, Richards (with his
dog) had been driving through Del Puerto Canyon,

California, when he pulled over for
a rest and to let his dog out for a

walk. When the dog started chasing down a
rabbit, though, Richards ran in pursuit,

literally fell (or tripped) down a rabbit hole,
and wound up unconscious. When he came to, he was

in a strange room in a strange house, his head had
been bandaged, and judging by outside noise he was

no longer in a rural location like the one he’d
just left. Soon, another man entered his room.

The man introduced himself as Jonas, and Richards
thanked him for his help before asking a load of

questions. Where was he? How did he get here? And
was his dog OK? Thankfully, the dog was there,

too, and was totally fine… but the other questions
had far less straightforward answers. Richards

says that Jonas then revealed to him that he
was actually just a few feet away from where he

had fallen. The house (and apparent town) outside
hadn’t been there before, however, because Jonas

had also taken Richards to a parallel world. To an
alternate dimension that he (Jonas) called home.

Jonas then went on to explain that in his world,
Parallel Travel Machines were all the rage. Yes,

they could be dangerous, but they were
also a wholly accepted technology.

Richards suggests that parallel travel
may even have superseded space travel,

in this other place. The pair then
spent the next few hours together,

including for a meal that Richards says
was basically normal except for purple

ketchup. The really interesting hook, though,
came when they started talking about music.

Richards discovered that in Jonas’ world the
Beatles were still touring. The iconic Liverpool

group were still together, with all four members
still very much alive. Jonas had a collection of

albums, too, mostly on tape - as Richards says
that CDs had never really caught on in the

other dimension. There was a version of “Sgt.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” on the side,

although Richards recalls that the famous
cover looked slightly different in some

ways. Better still, there were later
albums (post Beatles break-up in our

timeline) that Richards had never seen
or heard before. He and Jonas apparently

wiled away some of their time together
listening to all of that later material.

Finally, and just before Jonas transported
Richards back to his own reality, Richards says

that he managed to steal one of the later tapes
which, according to his blog post, has the title

“Everyday Chemistry”. Upon returning to this plane
of reality, then, Richards uploaded “Everyday

Chemistry” for all to hear - an apparently
never-before-seen Beatles album, because it

really doesn’t exist for us. It was soon pointed
out that the “new tracks” sounded very much

like variously mashed up versions of some of the
Beatles’ solo material… but one counter argument

says that that isn’t so unexpected. After all, in
a just slightly altered version of reality, John,

Paul, George and Ringo might well have had
many of the same ideas again, mightn’t they?

What do you think? About the bizarre Beatles
story and the unnerving tale of Lerina Garcia?

Both have their own unique space in the
modern history of the strange and unknown,

but could they really serve as
proof of parallel universes?

Science is no stranger to the big questions.
From the beginning of the universe to the fabric

of reality itself, we’re always trying to find
answers. But, when it comes to the multiverse,

the boundaries between right and
wrong, between probable and improbable,

dramatically widen, enough to leave you
questioning your very existence in time.

Midway through the twenty-first century, we’re at
a potentially crucial bridge for modern research

between the macro and micro worlds. Work around
quantum physics has taken off in a big way but,

bizarrely, its greatest impact could yet be to
do with one of the largest structures imaginable;

the multiverse. Starting with Hugh
Everett’s Many Worlds Interpretation - a

then game-changing theory when it was first
put forward in the late 1950s - we’ve grown

to develop a number of hypotheses around the
idea that this world isn’t all there is.

Broadly, it’s said that whenever a decision
is made, reality is split into two separate

planes. Usually, this is visualized via large
and clear decisions, such as choosing between an

apple and orange for lunch, or taking the left
or right turn at a junction. The idea is that

even when you decide to turn left, there’s
another you in another, parallel universe,

that decides to turn right, and your lives diverge
forever based on that one point in time. However,

at the quantum level, the same concept can
be applied to create an infinitely more

intricate mesh; a truly neverending multiverse
of realities. Now, every time an atom splits,

every time a molecule is made, or even every
time light moves between wave and particle…

a new reality is potentially born. Only, here,
the differences between each and every one of

them are so infinitesimally small that we (in our
macro state) could never hope to recognise them.

In an extreme variation, we could be talking about
one world where the only difference is that you

have one hair less on your head than you do in
this one… or another where the atmospheric makeup

of a planet that’s thousands of lightyears
away is just ever so slightly different,

but everything else is the same. Importantly,
this isn’t where all multiverse models lead,

most don’t go so far… but the principles
at play can still take us there,

and perhaps it could be argued that it’s
even an inevitable endpoint. To even try

to contemplate a reality web that’s so closely
woven between one layer and the next is, frankly,

a major headache for us mere mortals. But, could
that mean that we’re actually moving across that

web all the time, we’re just wholly unaware
because nothing’s ever actually noticeable?

We took a closer look at the story
of Lerina Garcia. To briefly recap,

Garcia was aged 41 in the year 2008, when she
posted claims on a Spanish online forum about

how she believed she had woken up in a parallel
universe. Among the apparently unexplained changes

she encountered on that one fateful day were;
waking up in a bed made with sheets she didn’t

own… arriving at her place of work only to
find that her office and position had changed,

as if overnight… and realizing that not
only was she still dating her ex-partner,

but her until-yesterday-current partner
was literally nowhere to be found.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the story has never been
fully corroborated… but some have suggested that

Garcia may have fallen victim to a so-called
reality slip. Her surrounding world was

otherwise unchanged - she reported no major
differences in global politics for example,

or fundamental physics - it was just that certain
parts of her own life were inexplicably altered.

It’s said that Garcia herself believed that
she had entered a kind of parallel universe.

If, for the sake of argument, we take Garcia
at her word, then here is an example of someone

entering a parallel world and realizing that
they’ve done so. But, although the changes were

apparently noticeable to Garcia, she would still
have needed to skip A LOT of timelines to make

those changes possible, as per Many Worlds-style
multiverse models. Consider her reported change

of job position at her place of work. How many
decisions does it take for you to land a job

in the first place? How many assignments
need completing, meetings need to be held,

deadlines need to be met, etc.? There are
countless different points in time at which

her path might’ve diverted, all of which she will
have presumably had to have reversed back through…

to then emerge with a different job entirely. Even
the unknown bed sheets she woke up in: To buy bed

sheets, you need to enter a certain shop, choose
to spend a certain amount of money, decide on that

one product based on countless other preferences…
and all while the subatomic world silently hums

through endless splits and decisions of its own,
all around you. All of those moments in time would

need to have been skipped back through, just
for Garcia to awake on some unfamiliar cotton.

Interestingly, Garcia did reportedly visit a
doctor to check, among other things, whether

she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
So, even with such personally massive changes,

she seemingly had some inkling to doubt herself.
And, as it happens, no substances were found

in her system, although doctors could find no
other explanation for her experiences, either.

Consider, then, how it might feel if you ever
felt your life was different, but much less

dramatically so. If you felt that there was just
something off but you couldn’t put your finger

on what exactly that something was. You perhaps
wouldn’t be worried enough to visit a doctor,

as Garcia was, but you might be left with a real
sense of unease. Of course, there are certain

real life phenomena that inspire something
similar, in some people, including déjà vu,

the Mandela Effect, and lucid dreaming. Sometimes
these sensations are loosely referred to as

“glitches in the matrix”, sometimes it’s joked
that they’re the multiverse at work. Regardless,

if parallel universes do exist - which increasing
numbers of theories reckon they do - then could we

ever hope to confidently tell the difference
between one and the next, and the next? If

we ever were presented with proof, would we
believe it, or even properly recognize it?

As per some of the more extreme interpretations,
the multiverse - if it does exist - is

unfathomably rich and complex. In just the
time it’s taken for you to watch this video,

reality will have subatomically split off into
countless different directions… leaving you here,

in this reality, but other yous,
enjoying any one of those other realms.

In today’s world it’s increasingly accepted
that, really, there could be countless other

worlds out there that we don’t yet know about. And
perhaps can’t even comprehend. The multiverse is

alive and kicking as a mind-bending concept, but
also increasingly as a physical consideration.

What would you do if you could enter into a
parallel universe? Would you do things differently

or exactly the same as you have in this reality?
Would you seek out your parallel self and make

contact, just to freak them out a bit? Or would
you try to guide history from the shadows? Let us

know in the comments! But, beyond sci-fi thought
experiment, is any of it actually possible?

The multiverse is a fundamental idea that dates
back probably far further than most would guess,

to the famed philosophies of ancient Greece.
However, in the modern sense it only truly began

to take hold toward the end of the nineteenth
century. It was only seriously considered for

the first time in the mid-twentieth century, and
it only appeared in science fiction for the first

time in the early 1960s. As ideas go, then,
the multiverse is still an emerging one. And,

while it remains wholly hypothetical,
it comes in many different varieties.

The most well known of the more
contemporary models is arguably

Max Tegmark’s four-leveled multiverse,
which imagines a physical structure that

could hold it all together, with
varying degrees of complexity.

No matter the model, though, it’s almost always
thought that to travel across the multiverse - to

move from one parallel world to another - would
require an unfathomable amount of energy. Even

an Einstein-Rosen Bridge (or wormhole) wouldn’t be
enough in this instance. Traditional wormholes are

imagined structures that pierce through the fabric
of spacetime to link between locations that are

potentially light years apart. As such, they’re
a proposed means to achieve faster-than-light

travel. While there are theories as to how and
where they could form, however (including inside

the deepest depths of a black hole) there
are no confirmed wormholes in reality. And,

in fact, there are no known sites in the universe
with even the hint of a wormhole about them.

Nevertheless, we can still speculate (to some
degree) over building one… and, indeed, some

have proposed that an advanced enough civilization
could even build itself on a sophisticated network

of wormholes. The only problem is that we (as
we are) know of no physical substance that’s

strong or energetic enough for the task. For this
reason, whenever the construction of wormholes is

considered, the plans always require so-called
“exotic matter”... which, broadly, is an unknown

(and possibly physically impossible) material.
And, even then, most predictions are that a

traditional wormhole would inevitably collapse
in on itself, whenever it was actually used.

All of this goes to show just how alien
it would be to travel between parallel

universes. Wormholes are generally offered
as an option to traverse just this universe,

and even they are currently incomprehensible. We’d
need something even more exotic and unusual, then,

to move from this universe to another one. On the
Kardashev Scale, this is the massive difference

between the already lofty Type Four and the even
greater Type Five. For a physical, carbon-based,

organic human being such as ourselves, it’s
almost certainly not going to happen. And,

if it did somehow happen, it could in all
likelihood kill us, in a way something akin

to the spaghettification our bodies would
go through if we were to fall into a black

hole. Even the individual atoms that make
us probably wouldn’t survive the journey.

That said, what if there were a way
to achieve it? What if we, as we are,

could somehow switch between this
universe and another? What kinds

of scenarios would we be faced with,
and how could the experience shape us?

First off, to have any immediate meaning for
us, it would need to be that we’d disappear and

reappear in the same place, from one universe to
another. Much as with hypothetical time travel,

even an iota beyond our target location and
we’d find ourselves entirely cut off from

the life we’d just left - such is the enormous
scale of the universe and reality. Get it wrong,

and moving between parallel universes would just
be confusing and pointless… but, get it right,

and we could be thrust right back into the
life we know, but with an all new perspective.

Next, would you really want to meet yourself? Or,
to put it another way, should you meet yourself?

Imagine that moment from the otherside, from your
current perspective as a being in this reality…

how would you react if you bumped into you?
How would everyone else react if you tried to

tell them what had happened? How would the world
react if the two versions of you were confirmed,

and the true nature of reality were then revealed?
Travel between parallel universes and let other

beings know about it and, at best, you could
be labeled unstable and/or locked up… at worst,

you could trigger mass hysteria and
the collapse of humankind. Perhaps,

then, even with this incredible ability,
you’d be wise to keep it to yourself.

But, how would you handle such immeasurable power
and knowledge? It would certainly be easy to form

something of a god complex. Make it to a parallel
universe and keep your true identity secret,

and you’d know that you knew more than everyone
else around you. You’d know that reality really is

guided by even the most forgettable decisions (if
the Many Worlds Interpretation rings true) or that

there really are higher planes of understanding
out there (if the Tegmark Model is correct). And

yet, it could prove a lonely and unfulfilling
existence. With the secret of life laid bare,

would it ever be possible to even be
interested in anything else again?

With the true nature of nature revealed,
where would your motivation come from?

Perhaps there would be a darker path down
which you could travel, where you stem the

boredom by just playing with everyone else’s
realities. Life, death, love, hate, happiness

and fear… the entire range of human emotions could
suddenly seem quite futile, like levels in a game,

or expansion packs to complete. Moving around a
parallel universe, far removed from your original

reality and now all-knowing, you could quickly
become mean, merciless and indifferent to such

lower level states as pain and suffering. But, of
course, you could also view your new reality in

the opposite way; as somewhere that could benefit
from your guidance. You could be benevolent rather

than malevolent, and rather than seeking infamy or
destruction… you could work and try to ensure that

your parallel universe avoids some of the mistakes
that only you know were made in your original one.

Again, what would you do if you could enter into
a parallel universe? How would you handle your

heightened position? For now, what’s clear is that
this is a thought experiment, only. The multiverse

is still a wholly hypothetical structure, and
humanity knows of no way to build even regular

wormholes… let alone bridges that can link between
here and literally another reality entirely.

So, what’s your verdict? Do the stories at the
beginning of this video make you believe that

parallel universes are real? Has the ordeal of
Lerina Garcia left you questioning your very

existence? Whatever your view, it’s clear that
there is so much about the nature of reality that

we just can’t be sure of. Unless, of course, you
do already knowingly exist in a parallel universe…

in which case, we’re onto you, your cover has been
blown, and the truth really has been unveiled.

Strange things happen all the time.
Unexplainable events unfold every day.

And perhaps that’s why parallel
universes really could exist!
