Parallel universes and parallel worlds referred to the countless universes developed from the first initial universe after being put through different probabilities.
For example, if Fang Xingjian had made a choice between having omelettes or pancakes for breakfast in the morning, then there would be a universe in which he had omelettes for breakfast as well as one in which he had pancakes for breakfast.
With the series of choices made after the Big Bang, it had led to the birth of countless parallel universes.
This was humanity's understanding and conjecture about the universe, but it was a good match for the situation that Fang Xingjian was facing now.
Oops, sorry for the delay :x
It suddenly hits me how... the amazing way Xingjian is checking through info online... would be so freaking useful for people writing research papers (esp students) XD
