[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [qb] From where do parallel universes originate?[/qb][/QUOTE]From wherever any universe originates. There exist an infinite number of universes that represent all possible outcomes of all possible scenarios. They are neither created nor destroyed, they simply exist. [QUOTE][qb]Time travel has never been known to create them previously in Trek, so far as I know. [/qb][/QUOTE]Time travel doesn't create them. "Time travel" in the sense of moving from point A to point B along a linear time continuum independent of space is impossible. Space and time are the same thing. What you're doing when you time travel is crossing over into another universe, an alternate reality running parallel to the one you started in. You didn't create it; it already existed. And the one you left from is not destroyed; it persists, but from your point of view, [i]your[/i] reality has changed. As the audience, we follow the point of view of the characters, so it [i]seems[/i] to us like there is one timeline and one universe that can be changed. But this view is not reflective of the more complex reality. It's like thinking the Sun orbits around the Earth. [/QB][/QUOTE]
