The concept of multidimensional world is mostly portrayed in movies, it is a concept subjected to multiple fictional interpretations depending on the imagination of the writer. It is never something considered to be real, though there might be some scientific theories that support its existence but it is not something that has been confirmed by anyone, just like the way we have other planets. But then, for every SciFi movies I have watched there is always something they all have in common, it is how unsafe it is.
There was a time I was having an argument with one movie nerd on social media and he said something interesting. He said the way we humans describe everything else that is not from our planet as aliens is very ironic because we dive into other planets and places in the name of discovery and exploration, in the process, if we were attacked by any unknown species, we call those things aliens too and we feel the need to wipe them off.
But then, we never stop to think about who the true aliens are, I mean if we were the ones experiencing an invasion, won't we feel the need to defend our planet but if other species should do the same on their own planet we consider them as a threat. This really got me thinking about how much of a control freak we humans are, now imagine we humans suddenly discovering a mirror dimension, this is far worst than discovering other planets.
In a mirror dimension or alternative dimension or parallel dimension, everything that exist here is there. They look the same way we look, they are humans like us. Which means, for every being that exist in our own dimension also exist there, like a replica. Now, for we humans to suddenly discover something like that is not something I would wish for.
You see, the same way we humans experience corruption in our own society, they will also have their own issues. And if anyone should willingly travel to the other dimension, it means you will have yourself living the life of another person because someone who looks exactly like you already exist there. This person could be anybody, a murderer, criminal. You as a person might not be aware of whoever your replica is, that is if you even know such things are possible. You just dive into a mirror dimension and think you have found another place to explore, they might look like us, it doesn't mean our laws also applies to them.
Imagine being arrested in such a place, how exactly would you prove your identity? there is nothing on earth you would say, no one would believe you. The worst case scenario, if your double-ganger is hardened criminal or a terrorist, they would have shot you on sight without knowing you are a different person.
This is something I would consider before diving into a mirror dimension, i believe it is normal as both dimensions are living their reality without getting missed together because the moment it is discovered that other dimensions exist and it can be accessed, a new form of chaos will erupt. It is not something I look forward to, I believe we have enough problems of our own already.
