Do you believe in the multiverse?

Lord Starch · September 20, 2015, 10:43:59 PM

I do. I do believe.

Maybe in the limitations that many other universe exist within our same 'space', as in not parallel universes but neighboring ones, like neighboring galaxies. There's absolutely no evidence for any other theory, so I don't see a point in believing in one.

As far as I know, there's no evidence for it. Like aliens. However probable it may be doesn't matter.

It's an interesting thought, though.

No way to know either way, thus I am inconclusive.

Winy · September 20, 2015, 10:55:18 PM

There's no conclusive evidence suggesting that we live in a multiverse. So no, I don't believe so.

Yeup.

im more inclined to the holographic universe theory

String and M theory help to explain it, and it also helps explain how the big bang initiated.

If there is it is my intention to kill every other version of me. There can be only one.

Multiverse is a legitmate theory because of events on a quantum level. When people think of it as a product of concepts as unscientific and retarded as free-will or they try to primitively think of sort of "pockets" in a larger frame of regerence, that's when I'm pretty eager to pop some bubbles.

In at least one universe, you're Big Boss.

Good luck, hombre.

Well, if there's an infinite number of universes with an infinite number of possibilities, some sort of event or weapon that would wipe out all universes would have been used in at least one of those universes, therefore either

A) there are only a finite number of universes with a finite number of possibilities thereby reducing the odds of Liquid Boss existing from 100% to some infinitesimally small number, or

B) there are an infinite number of universes and the above event has already happened and we're fucked anyway.

So I'd say my odds are still pretty good.

Neither String Theory or M Theory are confirmed to be true. Unless they are, there is no rational, scientific reason to assume they exist.

gats · September 21, 2015, 12:48:44 PM

how can you believe in it when there's no evidence to support it?

but yeah i don't know nor do i care

Girl of Mystery · September 21, 2015, 12:57:12 PM

lol

no

Sandtrap · September 21, 2015, 12:59:10 PM

It's an interesting thought piece to consider. But with no proof it's really nothing more than that.

Na.

Well that's true, although they remain confident since it adheres to mathematical concepts and doesn't necessarily break down. But yeah, you're right in the sense that the scientific method can't apply to this. But maybe we need a new way of analyzing concepts this large?
If math can be used to model anything in the physical world, and math can be applied to higher dimensions, wouldn't it be logical to assume these higher dimensions are possible although not observable?
