Scientists think they know how to test the parallel universes theory - for real

I think it is great if universities pay people like this cosmologist to teach other people willing to pay tuition.

I don't like government grants coming from taxpayers paying for it.

It is as maddening as having someone get taxpayer support for global warming research.

And it is exactly as unprovable, speculative, and useless.

[Hebrews 11:6]

circlecity: "It is an imaginary construct that is only a "scientific possibility" because it is impossible to falsify. It was dreamed up solely to provide some response to the unmistakable theistic implications of the anthropic principle and the beginning of the universe itself."

The_Reader_David: "...an intellectual exercise in trying to avoid the logical consequence of Big-Bang cosmology, that the first cause can’t be physical...It is popular not because it is scientifically compelling, but because it provides committed atheistic naturalists with a way of avoiding the simpler explanation for the Big-Bang."

webstersII: "Yep. The supposedly objective scientists are not at all objective when it comes to those implications. This is similar to one of the reasons Darwin’s writings became popular. The most exciting thing about the Theory of Evolution to many 19th century scientists was how it laid the foundation for atheism based on science.

Insightful and incisive comments all. They suggest to me that you might enjoy, if you're not already aware of it, a group and website that is Christian/Old Earth Creationist/scientific headed by astronomer/apologist Dr. Hugh Ross: Reasons to Believe, at Reasons.org. On point, another astronomer on-staff has a booklet, Who's Afraid of the Multiverse?, and the website's search engine brings up numerous related articles.

Sad, 40+ posts and no sign of Sheldon.

Very Sad.

Can Trump be president in the other universe?

Uhura had Abs before anyone knew the term. And my mother wondered why I was “inside” the TV.

[Jayster]

Yes but in that Universe he has hair like Allen West

Question...if mathically, ever possible state exist..then, by definition, must one the states be that it does not exist?.

So you have all these multiverses canceled each other out by its non existences states..its a balance equation that equals zero...

The one unbalance state universe exist because it has the extra variable of time

You're mixing up "state" with "universe." Its like saying if universes come in all different colors, what color exists with no universe? Well no color, right? Because it's the universe that expresses the color.

color -> state

So now we’ll finally get the answerhow the Berenstein Bears became the Barenstain Bears?

I think I might have a different definition of the "universe" for this argument I would define a universal as the totality of unique collection of quantum states of all components in it

So if I understand the multiuniverse concept correctly each parallel universe is partially identical to some degree ...because all possibilities exist ...and each parallel universe is the unique total differences in individual quantum states possible ..then I would you must include non existence as a possibility..

the cat is both alive and dead at the same time..that two states of existence for the cat at the same time... but if that's a possibility then you have to include a third possible that the cat doesn't even exist in the box ...that the cat never existed at all... if you can be both ..states..you can also have neither state

[Bullish]

That quite a clause that sanity clause.

[GOPJ]

I'm guessing time is more like a solid too... definitely not a line.

Thank you for that website reference.
I can’t wait to spend some time exploring that, as it represents a pillar of my faith, that science gives us the ability to more clearly see God’s wonders.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’re very welcome. I know Hugh and Ken personally and couldn’t be prouder of the great work they and the others have done and are doing on the Lord’s behalf. It’s my bedtime, but perhaps soon I’ll fill you in on some background. Meanwhile, prepare to be blessed there.

Walter was much better than Walternate, but Fauxlivia was hot.

[MUDDOG]

Me too! Olivia and Walter.

[MHGinTN]

Daniel chapter five, among many passages, shows there is in fact a realm no further away than the length of a man’s arm, yet totally undetected ... yet someone in that realm can reach over into our realm.

but Fauxlivia was hot

Abso-freekin-lutely!!!
