The parallel universe


Is there such a thing as a parallel universe? Because I heard my dad say something about it one day and it sounds pretty awesome.
The parallel universe uses the ground for green lines and the sky is also very dark all the time. The dark sky has kind of like green wavey stuff, but if you ever throw the pointy bit of the cone in the middle of the green lines a big hole will appear. The more you run away, the more the hole gets bigger, but if you fall in the hole you go to a special place that you have never seen before.
In that special place you might end up in the cartoon world or just the special place which is better than the parallel universe.
I need to know the information about how to get to the parallel universe, but how do I find it? Some day I just might find the parallel universe. My dad might give me more information about it, when I'm bigger. But, like I said before about the hole, if you ever throw the pointy bit of the cone in the middle of the lines, the hole will get bigger and eventually explode the whole of the parallel universe. So please don't do that until I get there.

Hi Declan,
That's a lovely description of a parallel universe, I know exactly what you mean.
Some people think you get to a parallel universe by traveling down a black hole. Others say parallel universes are joined by different kinds of holes called wormholes.
Then there are people who think it's impossible, that there aren't parallel universes, and even if there were, we'd never know about them anyway (because parallel lines never meet).
There's a book written by Stephen and Lucy Hawking that explains black holes and space and time for young kids, called George's Secret Key to the Universe. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Georges-Secret-Universe-Lucy-Hawking/dp/0385611811)
I read it to my daughter who's 8, and she loved it. Maybe your dad will buy it for you?
Regards,
Clem

Thanks Clem. I hope I get that book for Christmas time.
