Multiverse Questions!

Accepting The Multiverse

If we assume for arguments sake that the universe is not alone and that there are other verses out there parallel to our universe. Are there infinite verses or finite verses? I am inclined to believe in a multiverse.

Is our universe just one of many other verses, like our galaxy Milky Way is only one of many galaxies in our universe?

Here is a recent article published in Quanta Magazine (11/3/2014).

Here is a longer article published in the Scientific American in 2003 about this subject.

God In A Multiverse

Forget about any anthropomorphic aspects of God. As I wrote here before, God is probably more about multiversal principals like perhaps the Golden Rule for living beings on this planet than anything else.

God may also be an optimist, how else would you explain love, freedom, self-improvement, or happiness of living beings on this planet.

In a multiverse, God probably cannot be omnipresent, omniscient, or omnipotent or even interfere with human fate on a daily basis. God is probably no central planner and no micromanager.

Human Consciousness

Probably, never really understood by any human in history! Most humans would probably agree that consciousness exists. Probably, even atheists have a consciousness. I am not so sure about lefties, communists, authoritarians, socialists and others of this ilk.

Is it possible that the consciousness of living beings is an expression emanating from another verse? This would suggest that the multiverse permeates our universe in some form or way.

Immortality Of The Soul

We have known for thousands of years that many humans strongly believe in something after death. For at least several decades, we have known of increased research into near death experiences (NDE) or out of body experience, but according to Wikipedia Plato already mentions a soldier appearing to tell about his NDE, the Myth of Er.

Once multiversality is established, why should humans or animals or even plants not live on after death in some form or the other perhaps transcending from this universe to another verse.

Rethinking E = EMC2

Einstein’s most famous and most popular formula is in question. In a multiverse, matter may not matter any more (excuse my pun). Other verses may have different forms of matter or no matter at all.

Have you ever wondered:

1. Why time goes only forward in our universe?
2. Why there is an absolute temperature minimum such as 0 Kelvin in our universe?
3. Why there is a speed limit of light in our universe?
4. And so on …

Don’t these limits appear to be arbitrary in some way?

Thus, I would propose an equation like E = P. P stands for some principles not yet know to humans. It appears energy may be the only concept that may be observable in other verses.

Dark Matter & Energy

This was only discovered very recently. We humans still do not have a good understanding of it. Perhaps, these related to other verses.

Subatomic Particles

As I have blogged here previously, the subatomic particle zoo and the theories proffered by our physicists are not getting better or any closer to explaining these particles.

As I said above, perhaps matter does not really matter and there are some other principles at work here that still await to be discovered, perhaps by another human like Albert Einstein.
