no, never. this is science fact, not science fiction.Will there be a universe where everyone buys Nintendo?

It would be a great romance plot, falling for someone from another universe through your dreams.What if our dreams are the keys to the multiverse? You ever have a dream of a weird situation that felt real? What if that is you traveling through the mutliverse and living through that version of your life? Sometimes I feel like that happens, makes for a good movie/book.
What say you screenwriterGAF.
Imagine if each universe was just a pebble in an expansive ocean of multiverses
So I'm the weird one.
Multiverse ugh! What's bigger than that?
Shouts out to all my infinite alternative timelines. I'm sure some of me are doing a lot better than me and the rest of me are probably doing a lot worse, am I right?

This would be such an amazing discovery if true. It could have all sorts of philosophical implications too. I fucking love science. Its such an intellectually stimulating time to be alive
Dreams are actually visions of yourself from other universes.
The best way to think of it, I believe, is like homogeneous pockets of non-inflationary space separated by vast regions of eternally inflating space. These pockets would each consist of an individual observable universe. Normally, after the initial period of inflation, the universe will quickly transition into a "normal" state in which huge quantities of energy convert into matter and radiation. But if this transition doesn't end, if space continues to expand faster than new bubbles are created, then it will keep inflating for eternity. Sean Carroll explains this better than I can:Not sure what form the multiverse exists based on that. The mental picture I'm forming in my head is someone with a toy bubble pipe making a bunch of bubbles and our own universe is one of those bubbles in the mix?
First white president was just elected. His name is.... Obama.i want to see the universe where Columbus' ships sink before reaching America.
First white president was just elected. His name is.... Obama.
My guess is they are referring to multiple universes which are all unique and existing as part of a system as compared to the more popular multiverse theory which is about alternate versions of our own universe.... right?
I don't understand the infinite multiverse theory.
If there are an infinite number of universes, there are an infinite number of universes that are slightly like our own, where I for example misspelled the word 'infinite' once, with that being the only difference.
If this is correct, then that means that there must be universes in which people can travel to other universes, because infinite possibilities. This would mean though, that in a certain universe, someone has travelled through multiverse-space to our universe and publicly peed on President Obama. But this didn't happen. How couldn't it have in an infinite number of universes?
I think I can see where my reasoning is faulty, but to not break my head on this I would like you all to point it out.
Random thought: could these new universes (forming inside our own) be the source of "dark energy"? i.e the force that is making our own universe constantly expand?
I'm reading this as universe existience and the internal physics of that universe are only possible given a set of starting conditions. The different, and finite number of, configurations with these starting conditions define the resulting universes. They are unique in their internal physics.There's a universe for every possible universe.
I think the starting conditions for a universe are more along the lines of 'nothingness,' and from possibly this zero energy, quantum or sub-quantum particles are able to 'pop into existence' and initialize a Big Bang event. This leads to how energy functions in a specific universe and governs the internal physics of that manifestation. I don't know either and would like to see it flushed out a bit more by ParticlePhysicsGAF and the more learned affectionados than myself. Stupid Metaverse (union of all multiverses) is probably really boring and just a bunch of reruns [joke].But the number of possible universes are not infinite, as a result of there being a finite amount of matter & energy in the universe, which can be reconfigured into a vast but still finite number of configurations. The reason there are so many possible, and thus actual universes, is because there's an element of chance on a quantum level. One elementary particle goes left instead of right as a result of random chance, but in another universe the elementary particle goes right.
Now repeat that for every single fundamental energy/matter unit, and you will get a phenomenal number of possibilities - including countless where you're a half-man-bear-pig-president.
At least, that's what I've gathered but I'm not a physicist.
Nah, those are simply particles attached to time waves jumping out of order within the same universe -- so in effect we are sensing future memories beamed back into our current "present state" dimensional selves -- rather than into other universes.Déja-vus confirmed to be insights into another universe?
There's no catch. Science is awesome, no matter when in history its being practiced.I love Science - but there's a catch. Theoretical science and our understanding of it is continually in motion. Some people see science as 'fact' and belief systems (like Religion, not exclusively religion) as purely conjecture. However scientists from one hundred years, heck even 30 years ago, would have a fairly different viewpoint as to what is 'fact' to scientists of today in matters such as this - as scientists ultimately can only offer conjecture based on the facts presented to them based on the evidence of the day. Whether that's collected by technological methods or models grounded in observations. Even areas in science where there's unified agreement can change over time.
Don't get me wrong - I'm religion neutral and the pursuit of establishing a truth is paramount. Science is a great practice - It's just in some quarters some hold science as some holy, divine truth in itself when the reality is our understanding of it can change with a click of a finger or a simple discovery. In 200 years there may be the GAF members kicking back and mocking our view of science as being completely hillarious. And likewise 200 years after them, their counterparts doing the same. The comes to a point where some things come down to your individual belief system based on a combination of the facts at hand and also how your unique personality interprets them.
Pretty much.I always feel like talks about multiverse or many worlds or m theory are trying to pass themselves off as way more true than they warrant from our current understanding of physics.
Max Tegmark's work is not well regarded by many.John Gribbon wrote a good book on this called In Search of the Multiverse which I'd recommend, but just pulling it from my shelf it turns out someone (Max Tegmark of the Universe of Philadelphia at the time, and looks like MIT now) did a calculation on assuming that space is infinite and uniformly filled with matter on average then your nearest twin would be living on a planet approximately 10 to the power of 10^29 metres away... the nearest exact copy of our universe would be 10 to the power of 10^115 metres away! Big numbers...
So as far as I can tell and based on what they're talking about here then what's being described in the OP is basically levels 1 + 2 from http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/crazy.html the traditional multiverse would be the level 3, and level 4 is just mind boggling!
Oh that's the level 4 universe guy. I read a pretty disparaging review about his latest book that someone link to on gafJohn Gribbon wrote a good book on this called In Search of the Multiverse which I'd recommend, but just pulling it from my shelf it turns out someone (Max Tegmark of the Universe of Philadelphia at the time, and looks like MIT now) did a calculation on assuming that space is infinite and uniformly filled with matter on average then your nearest twin would be living on a planet approximately 10 to the power of 10^29 metres away... the nearest exact copy of our universe would be 10 to the power of 10^115 metres away!

I fucking hate that. It's like the scientists themselves are trying to create brand awareness for their favored hypothesis and using stronger language about the veracity of their theories than they warrant to make them seem more proven and accepted than the reality dictatesPretty much.

all of the possibilities are endless. there's at least a hundred thousand like that, and they all branch off from another timeline where radioactive spiders were made. you might be a spiderman with forty breasts and twenty dogs growing off your shoulders. your aunt may might be a carrot. you might be in a asylum where you are under the delusion that you are spiderman. that's even assuming that it's branching off the stuff we already know from our universe; there might even be other timelines with stuff that's never been seen on earth; another template of a universe.
if there is a multiverse and it works based off time, there are hundreds of thousands of universes just like you describe.

So, there's a universe where the Dreamcast was a huge success and an alternate GAF where we're discussing sequilitis of Phantasy Star, Shenmue, Jet Grind Radio and Skies of Arcadia?
Fund this research!
I believe universes are separated by what are called "branes" (like short for membranes). If two branes collide, there's the thought that this is what would create a Big Bang. Thus, it is possible the collision of two of these branes are what created this universe.If our universe is constantly expanding what's stopping it from colliding with another universe?
