Where exactly is it? How can something exist outside of this universe. It seems like an imagination, but what if it exists. Does it really exist to us in this universe or only to the people in the other universe? Anyone feel what I'm saying, or am I just an idiot?
Existence is based on something known or proven logically. If its not known it dosen't exist to us. If you don't have contact with the others then thier is no way of knowing.

It's like the world use to be flat because no one in Europe knew better. But people proved it wasn't by sailing around the globe.
The Americas didn't exist even tho people live there because Europe didn't know.
