A NEW scientific theory which claims an almost infinite number of alternative universes are lined up alongside each other is being tested by the Large Hadron Collider.
Scientists are searching for proof of the baffling 'brane' theory (short for membrane) which says a series of 'two-dimensional' universes may be only microscopic distances from ours - and they may be contactable, or even act as doorways from one to the other.
The brane concept is a spin-off from the equally mind-bending string theory, which says a series of almost incomprehensibly small vibrating strings are the substance behind everything from light to gravity to mass - everything in the universe basically.
