Okay, so I watch Stargate SG-1 re-runs where alternate universes are aplenty. Plus, I am totally familiar with that episode of Star Trek where the evil alternate universe Spock has the goatee. In other words alternate universes are no big a deal to me.

Well, apparently life imitates art... or science-fiction. Other universes, which have been theorized for years, just received photographic evidence for their possible existence. Reportedly, this stems from the recent analysis of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), which shows microwave rings as potential left-overs created when... black holes collided in a previous universe.
