Timeline- Michael Crichton (150-180)

      Since the main premise of this book is based off the idea of parallel universes, Crichton takes his time to elaborate on how he proposes his idea of a parallel universe. Now I could sit here and boringly plot how Crichton goes about explaining this, or I could just explain Crichton's view. Crichton proposes his parallel universes not as space between spaces but space beyond spaces. Now, Crichton does explain how spaces between spaces could exist through the vacuum photon test. But he doesn't use this thought to explain the existence of his parallel world, he uses this thought to explain how the "jumpers" reach the parallel world. Now to accredit his own making of a parallel world, Crichton uses the idea of space beyond space. Now everyone knows the accepted view of how the universe was created was by some miraculous big bang. The big bang theory supports the idea that the universe is forever growing, starting with a bang at the center expanding out to the edge of the universe at light speed. Now in order to understand the space beyond space theory you have to accept the idea of anti matter. Which anti matter is just basically nothing. A void between other universes that were started by a big bang themselves. So if you took a piece of paper and drew random circles on that  paper and marked the area within the circles as universes all starting with a bang at the epicenter and marked the area with in the circles as anti matter and imagine that piece of paper never ending you have the proposed space beyond spaces parallel universe theory. Now if you have a never ending paper than then you have thousands upon millions upon trillions of universes. Earth just residing in one of those universes. With millions upon millions of universes, which we can't see do to the speed of light, it is not hard for one to say that there is "copies" of earths somewhere out there with another Colten and Mr. Hill in the a 4th period etymology class somewhere out there. Henceforth you have the proposed parallel universe Crichton proposes, he uses the idea of space between spaces as a mode of transportation to arrive in the other universes.

Big idea, little space to expand on thoughts.
