What is Cosmos doing sporting a cover story on parallel universes?
Carl Sagan once admonished that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. We’re certainly not claiming to present such evidence, but our cover story does address why some physicists consider that this darling of science fiction is nevertheless a respectable theory in science. They argue that Sagan’s admonishment has been met, in a way, because the hypothesis for other worlds emerged from the extraordinary evidence of the quantum world. In our world, waves are waves and particles are particles. But in the sub-atomic quantum world, there’s no such distinction. That reality is dramatically illustrated by experiments that show electrons - particles of matter - interfere with each other

What is the CERN Particle Accelerator?
What if it were possible to observe the fundamental building blocks upon which the Universe is based? All you would need is a massive particle accelerator, an underground facility large enough to cross a border between two countries, and the ability to accelerate particles to the point where they annihilate each other - releasing energy and mass which you could then observe with a series of special monitors. Well, as luck would have it, such a facility already exists, and is known as the CERN Large Hardron Collider (LHC), also known as the CERN Particle Accelerator. Measuring roughly 27 kilometers in circumference and located deep beneath the surface near Geneva, Switzerland, it is the largest particle accelerator in the world.

When The Universe Was Young, Light May Have Been A Lot Faster
Either that, or gravity may have been a lot slower.
