Letter: Letters : Dancing on a pin

Published 31 August 1996

From Lassi Hyvarinen

Le Vesinet, France

How can anyone in a sane frame of mind speak about a hundred, or come to that
a million, parallel universes (Forum, 6 July, p 45
and Letters, 27 July, p 63)?

about how many angels can …

Let us stop this inane discussion and stay in the only Universe that we
experience.
