Do all possibilities exist?

What current science holds as theory or fact, I'm not purely familiar with, but if you're looking for thoughts, here are mine:
If by universe you mean an astronomical universe and not all that exists everywhere, then I believe there is more than one universe. I don't believe they're absolutely alternate though, as that suggests eqiuvalent stature in the hierarchy.
There are two categories of established rules, IMHO. The first category are sets of rules that vary from universe to universe and only apply to their respective universes. Our rules for our universe, I'd guess we've figured out 55% of. The second set of rules covers how all the universes related to one another. This one we've barely scratched the surface of.
Do I think that everything possible does in fact exist somewhere? No I do not. Consider the possibility that nothing exists. That alone contradicts the hypothesis.

I don't believe there are alternative universes where everything possible does in fact exist as I find the idea impossible to reconcil with how boring real life is.

I say rather not. If all possibilities exist that means that there's also the possibility that not all possibilities exist.

Curse you! I was wanting to say that.
If there are an infinite number of alternate universes out there, there must be some fairly boring ones. Essentially there must be one where the only difference at all is that I scratch my left ear. While completely uninteresting when compared to our universe, it does make me feel kind powerful

Yep and that possiblity also exists, just not in the same set as other possibilitys!

As long as you throw Goethe out...Can I use that in my sig?

infinity = infinite possibilities

THere is a possibility of an Alternate Universe. That is what makes Alternate History Possible (IE What if The Archduke of Austria-Hungary was not shot) and also Alternate Future Histories (Like the Star Wars Infinities Series with thoughs of "What if the Proton Torpedo Pre-maturely detonate in the Death Star before reaching the core)

I didn't mean that like you could never have deep thoughts...
sorry if yuo missunderstood.. I was referring to the SNL skit ''Deep thoughts by Jack Handey''...
Do you have something against him?

I think he's overrated, but I don't have much against him in general. And I like the idea of him being thrown out for me.
Ok. I'll do it only because you like football too..
Back to the topic..
I don't think there is/are parallel unverse/s, I don't think there could be another me in a parallel universe that didn't like football, it's just impossible!!!!
but then again everything's possible, not likely but possible.
NOTE: Football = Soccer.

Most current theories of the universe and it's formation give rise to the possibility of other universes entirely separate from ours - so in that sense yes, but the alternate universe theory of parallel universes where every action can exist I think not - how would we ever know?
But the multiverse theory makes for great SF and fantasy novels

i think it's possible, why shouldn't it? I believe prof.Hawkins has made a theory on other universes a couple of years ago..
like Hawkster says, i think that there could be other universes but they are in no way related to ours..

If there is a finite number of particles (space-time quanta, etc) in our observable universe, and there is an infinite number of particles in the 'actual' universe (multiverse, etc), then all combinations of those finite particles must exist, and each combination must exist an infinite number of times.
Other possibility,
Some even propose a cosmos in which our universe, having three dimensions of space, is afloat in a higher-dimensional world, with gravity free to interact among the dimensions.

And,
The solution to the dark matter problem may well involve something very close to a parallel universe.

Is this the paradise or a univers full of aliens ? i dont know
The thing Tassadar just mentioned, about gravity being free to propagate through other dimensions, is an interesting point.
If gravity were not confined to this dimension, this would explain why it seems so weak. Yes, Gravity is a very weak force. Try jumping in the air. All the mass of the entire Earth cannot hold you to inextricably to it's surface. Every time you jump in the air you are proving that your tiny legs are momentarily more powerful than the gravity of a multi-billion ton object. Every time you climb a ladder, you prove the same thing.
According to the 'gravity acting through more than our 3/4 dimensions' theory, this may also explain some aspects of dark matter, namely, another explanation of the need for e.g. dark matter to make our sums add up may be the gravitic influence from other dimensions making itself felt in ours.
Hope that made sense.
