The final part of Douglas Adams' trilogy of five.The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has, in what we laughingly call the past, had a great deal to say on the subject of parallel universes. Very little of this is, however, at all comprehensible to anyone below the level of advanced god and, since it is now well established that all known gods came into existence a good three-millionths of a second after the universe began (rather than, as they usually claim, the previous week), they already have a great deal of explaining to do. They are therefore not available for comment at this time.
