How Many Universes Exist? Watch Interviews. They were able to create a "window" that allowed them to physically see the Other Side. The two also experimented on children, administering a drug called Cortexiphan , hoping to discover a method by which they could cross over to the Other Side.
After the death of his son, Peter, Walter wanted to make sure that the other Walter Walternate was able to save his son.
While looking through the window, Walter realized that Walternate was distracted and missed the color change in the chemical that signaled a cure had been found for Peter.
Knowing that Walternate would not go back to discover what he missed, Walter took it upon himself to duplicate the compound and bring it over to the Other Side. He set up a machine similar to the window, yet which allowed him to be able to physically cross over. Doing so set into motion the biggest cataclysm to ever be unleashed on mankind. Walter bent the rules of reality, and as a result, tore an irreparable hole into the fabric of both universes.
The two universes began to slowly merge together, an act that will eventually lead to the destruction of one, if not both, worlds. Olivia Dunham was a test subject in the Cortexiphan trials. As a child fleeing her abusive stepfather, her fear activated a chemical that momentarily transported her into a field on the Other Side.
She witnessed a blimp flying in the sky before quickly being transported back. She transported again a few days later. Again, this was a result of her fear. She had a brief conversation with Walternate about Peter, not knowing that the man she was speaking to was not the doctor she had known for so long.
Moments later, she disappeared, but Walternate was given enough information. He finally understood where his son had been taken. The effects on the Alternate Universe were much more severe than the effects on the Prime Universe. The Blight is the name for the widespread death of trees and vegetation.
As with the quilted multiverse theory, the alternate universe in Fringe has to exist because it is not only possible given what we know about physical reality but also because it is mathematically possible.
Another possible explanation for the alternate universe in Fringe lies in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics also called the quantum multiverse. Put forth in by Hugh Everett III, the many worlds interpretation centers around the idea that an event with more than one outcome gives way to divergent parallel universes. Again, to oversimplify a great deal, the idea is that open strings back to string theory! As Aleksei Klimkin says in an explanation of the brane multiverse theory:.
And, as far as multiverse theory is concerned, Fringe sets up some deeply compelling questions — the hallmark of any great work of science fiction. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

So far, we have seen or heard about: The original timeline, where Peter died in our universe and was saved in the Prime one. This one was never seen on-screen, only described or referenced by various Observers over the course of Seasons 3 and 4. The revised timeline, where Walter brought Peter over to the main universe and he survived.
The rebooted timeline, where Walter brought Peter over but he died at the lake. The current timeline; this is basically the rebooted timeline, except that Peter has been returned. Improve this answer. Forral 2, 15 15 silver badges 27 27 bronze badges.
