Multiverse theory?

Really? Are you kidding me. Is this what someone made up because the odds are so astronomically high that there is no way this could be a matter of chance? Definitely this is not science. Not even close. And absolutely no evidence at all to support this.

It's a rational possibility, but it isn't science. I do suspect for many it's a hiding place based on the recognition of strong emergence and understanding of fine tuning questions. I suspect that from listening to some (not all) of the prominent physicists and the way they posit it.
This is a very discussion of it.

Some really stupid discussions associated with this - people often say, everywhere, that if there are infinite universes then there must be a universe exactly the same as this one except you are wearing a different coloured shirt or a universe where spiders drive cars. I've heard intelligent people make this logical error. This is simply equivocation on the meaning of 'infinite'. Infinite means unlimited in number, it isn't required to be unlimited in variety.
There is an infinite number of fractions between 1 and 2, and none of them are 3.

@SomeMichGuy Didn't realise my draft had posted. I clarified in the meantime.

@Abstraction Your clarification doesn't make it right with respect to the infinite *universes*.

Abstraction · 61-69, M

@SomeMichGuy Rather, your 'clarification' and logic doesn't comprehend the problem. Infinite doesn't require every possibility to be filled in order to be infinite. If you think so you're missing very basic logic. And there is nothing inherently in the multiverse theory that requires every possible variety. Prove it (your statement above doesn't come close.) Why should it include all possible permutations? If your mind says, 'because then it wouldn't be infinite' then you've fallen into a bit of a logical hole.

It is not a theory but merely a hypothesis and strongly influenced by philosophy.
It postulates that there is a collection of universes that are causally disconnected and whatever may exist beyond or between the boundaries of these universes. In essence, it is the totality of physical reality, whatever form that may take.

@Gloomy belief comes first. and then the realization of creation.

Gloomy · F

@Axeroberts You are born with the absence of belief and everything from there shapes your believes. Creation is part of certain believes yes and I don't see the point you made being in any way insightful or going against my statements

@Gloomy well I am not trying to refute what you say. Who knows. But I am just saying how I feel. Maybe others can relate and others cannot. I was just hoping to hear a little more from the ones who do. 😁

What evidence do you have that this is the only universe?

Because you should probably tell the cosmology community.

@Axeroberts The evidence is that this one exists. Or, I dare say, maybe your mind isn't powerful enough to grasp the concept that lies therein...?

Maybe you should read more than a blurb about it before you start throwing out opinions.

@SW-User 🤔🤣🤣🤣

@SW-User If you can measure the existence of another universe, then YOU "should probably tell the cosmology community"...and publish...and get a Nobel Prize when your measurements are verified.

The multiverse is a wet dream for those afraid of the fine tuneduniverse

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP haha really. the thing is we can't even explain where our universe came from and now they say there are an infinite amount
