Introduction

I was first introduced to the idea of a Parallel Universe when I was a child, from Star Trek Original Series episode Mirror, Mirror. The topic continues to reappear in literature and movies.  After watching the movie, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" in 2019, which features multiple versions of Spider-Man from different dimensions coming together to save the multiverse, I added this note to a list I keep of ideas for future study.

"March 2, 2019 - Here is another question for future study. Is There a Replica of Me in an Alternate Universe?  This line of thought was based on the new Spider Man. I just did some quick internet searches, and while there are people who try to disprove it and others who are firm believers, none of them have a formal / conclusive proof based on science.  One that stands out in particular, I found on Quara.com, written by Kenneth Barnum, who mentions the MWI (Many Worlds Interpretation) of quantum mechanics leads to the idea there are duplicates of us in other universes, similar but not the same due to the MIW (Many Interacting Worlds) theory, which forces differences. 

March 3, 2019 - I found Hugh Everett III first introduced MWI and MIW in 1957. Everett hypothesizes every possible outcome is realized in separate, non-communicating branches of the universe.  This in itself would imply there
