RE: who believes there is more than only a world
Drake's equation, using currently acceptable scientific figures, shows that for a galaxy the size of the Milky Way there would exist 15 inhabited planets with evolved species like humans. And that's pure science. Current string theory suggests that there are 11 dimensions in total, but that the higher level ones (ie above time, the 4th dimension) are curled up as if tightly wound string. Again, that's science. There are many metaphyiscal arguments about parallel dimensions where each decision every person makes creates another branch of an alternate reality so that all possibilities are played out, but blah to that stuff.
