I,think that it is universe but without a beginning or ending. it just keeps going.Title says it all really. Do you believe in a universe or a multiverse, and why.
I, personally have mixed feelings, believing in a universe, but hoping for and having thought of a multiverse, specifically an infinite multiverse
Not true my good bear. See the theory behind the multiverse is that the physics, chemistry, everything can be different, and thus you will have a noticeable change moving between two.My considered opinion is that it doesn't matter to me. The universe, by definition, encompasses all that I can conceivably experience. I would not be able to tell a universal from a multiversal existence, and thus invoking my favorite monk's favorite shaving tool ... say a universe will do for me. cn
Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor, Latin lex parsimoniae) is a principle of parsimony, economy, or succinctness. It states that among competing hypotheses, the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be selectedMy considered opinion is that it doesn't matter to me. The universe, by definition, encompasses all that I can conceivably experience. I would not be able to tell a universal from a multiversal existence, and thus invoking my favorite monk's favorite shaving tool ... say a universe will do for me. cn
...I remember discussing with you the idea that fundamental particles may perhaps be subject to further fundamentality (hehe). You wouldn't apply that to our current view of the universe?My considered opinion is that it doesn't matter to me. The universe, by definition, encompasses all that I can conceivably experience. I would not be able to tell a universal from a multiversal existence, and thus invoking my favorite monk's favorite shaving tool ... say a universe will do for me. cn
All of that is theory at best. Most is just hypothetical.I watched this thing one time, where they did a bunch of mathematical equations to figure out how much energy is needed for the expansion of the universe to expand the way it does... they number they came up with was so astronomically small that it just didn't make any sense, unless of course, we change the equations to incorporate a multiverse. Not sure how they did it, or where i watched it, maybe through the wormhole or into the universe, one of those shows.
You didn't answer the op though... I already demonstrated that I know any opinion is hypothetical, maybe theoretical at best.The question is simply philosophy at this point, as we don't yet have the technology to know either way...
covered in wipe cream, not sure... but with an infinite number, im sure it is possible, given basic logic ofchow about multiple universes covered in whipped cream...but no cherry?
That's cool, speculation is fun. Would you elaborate on some of the cooler occurrences and possibilities?You didn't answer the op though... I already demonstrated that I know any opinion is hypothetical, maybe theoretical at best.
The reason I asked the question is because it is a very forward thought in terms of cosmology, being maybe 10 years old with regards to community discussion.
Furthermore, if you begin to accept a multiverse or better yet, an infiniteverse, you can start to get into some cool occurrences and possibilities
