The Other Massive

David Wright's picture

Just read that astronomers have confirmed the existence of an Earth-like planet in the "habitable zone" around a star not unlike our own.
What a thought! Just think, there could be another me and another you and another Massive. But in this parallel world, the mighty massive might be a different beast altogether. What do you reckon?
I'll be known as David Wrong and no doubt Backwards 7 will be Forwards 7, etc, etc.

I'd be a genuine Geordie

In fact I might have lived up here long enough already

I'd be Mummyclark

and that's just wierd! Just think in a parallel universe people might not argue between the 80's and prog!

Presumably you'd be blogging furiously about lazy bastard strikers and the visionary leadership provided by Cameron and Osborne? Or is that a planet too far?

Ahh_Bisto | 6 December 2011 - 1:20pm

If the theories about parallel universes

are correct, then this newly-discovered planet doesn't exist in every universe. So in some universes we exist but they don't, in other universes they exist and we don't, there are some where both of us exist and some where neither of us exists.

I think astrology has to be more straightforward than cosmology.

Can we assume that on this alternative Earth...

...the Mahavishnu Orchestra enjoyed a world-shattering decade of fusion hits after which John McLaughlin spent several months in a bed-in demanding Total War, while Billy Cobham went on to become a loveable household favourite voicing several series of popular cartoons about a little railway engine, before deciding to dedicating the rest of his life to giving autographs?

Meanwhile, a marginalised quartet from alternative-Liverpool had a brief moment of near-popularity in the alt-70s with harmony-rich pop songs before fading into obscurity?

When does the spaceship leave...?

Colin H | 6 December 2011 - 11:17am

But Colin in an alternative universe

Its an alternative universe not a fantasy world :)

In our alternate Wordiverse, you will be our new Hannah! Can I request some anti-lemon cheescake for the next anti-mingle?

There again, the anti-me might not like anti-lemon cheesecake.

Ooh. What an existential dilemma.
