% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Could your identical twin be living exactly the same life as you in any number of parallel universes ?
An identical copy of you is also reading this story. This twin is the same in every way, living on an Earth and in a universe that looks exactly like our own. And there may be an infinite number of them.
