Is there an evil, goateed version of you somewhere in the multiverse?

[Swede]

For this week's "Ask a Physicist" io9 answers a question put to them by Annalee Newitz who wants to know:

Do we live in a multiverse or not? And if yes, what is the likelihood that other universes will have versions of us in them, the way they do on Fringe or in Iain Banks' novel Transition?

1. He's right here

It's the conscientious, clean-shaven one I'm searching for

2. If there are infinite universes there are infinite possibilities.

3. No, but there might be a clean-shaven, evil double of me out there somewhere

on edit:
Wait a minute, that was actually me back in the 1980's. Nevermind.

[Lasher]

4. Yes there is.

He hangs out with Good Cartman.

5. SO Chuck Todd is the twin of everyone here?

[xchrom]

6. Not gay people he's not. We don't do tacky and evil twins. Nt

7. LOL

Yeah, I can see that...

[semillama]

8. The question is

when I grow a goatee, does my double shave?

[petronius]

9. An infinite number of them do, but another infinite number do not

At any given moment, there are a lot of whiskers being shorn in the 'verse...

10. Ill bet he's getting more dates than I am!

Women seem to go for the 'bad boy' type!

11. I'm currently trying to jump multiverses

I don't particularly like this one and am trying to jump to the one where I've won the powerball, or captain of the Enterprise. I'd settle for a universe where the rethuglicans never existed and we all live in an agrarian paradise. Any suggestions besides clicking a pair of ruby slippers?

12. It's like I've always said...

Turtles all the way down...

Incidentally, Tegmark has a 4th level of multiverse in his hierarchy, but the other universes would be even stranger than in Level 2.

13. So if I my opposite twin shaves his goatee...

Do I have to grow one?
