The key point though, is that we use the same parts of our brains to imagine middle earth. I see no difference since I doubt the reality of our world.

Well, we use our
imaginations to
imagine it, as it doesn't
really exist, if that's what you mean.
As to the second part of that statement; I think I'll leave it up to you to decide, for yourself, whether or not the world is in fact real -- or whether you imagined it all, in which case you would of course be a super-genius of intellect unsurpassable [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. (Clearly
I know that you are not imagining it, as I know for a surety that I exist as well. But then I
am the only one who can know that for sure, if you want to think along these sort of wierd lines... =/)
No time right now to get into things here, but I will add this. The parallel universe theory is not proven, and we cannot at present say whether or not it is actually true. (Personally, I find it an unlikely idea; although I have never really gone into it in detail.)
These quantum physicists, you know... the notions they invent are often as varied, bizarre and wonderful as this and can be even more so. We cannot actually hold any of it in our hand. There is no doubt that this quantum stuff itself is real, but of the theory of actual other worlds -- when you think about it -- there is as yet nothing but the projection of theories, based upon possibilities.
These theories are not neccessarily correct. Actually, we could do with our own quantum physicist in here to explain all this stuff to us (not that we could understand it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]).

Hmmm... if I may ask a small observative question, what does this actually have to do with Tolkien's books anyway???
