Thank you for your post!

You are in good company. In this interview with Nicolo Dallaporta, a father of modern Cosmology, speaking of the multi-verse theories:

It is very possible, but it is not physics. It is a metaphysics in which recourse is made to a chance that is so enormously limitless that everything that is possible is real. But in this way it becomes a confrontation between metaphysics in which chance collides with purpose. This latter, however, seems much easier to believe! Physics up to now has been based on measurable "data." Beyond this it is a passage of metaphysics. At this point I compare it with another metaphysics. Those who sustain these viewpoints (like Stephen Hawking, for instance) should realize that this goes beyond physics; otherwise it is exaggerated. Physics, pushed beyond what it can measure, becomes ideology.

I agree that it crosses into ideology and therefore ought not to be taught in public schools. However, research continues and scientists are working on tests for the various theories, such as the search for extra dimensions at FermiLab.

To me it all quite exciting and I will continue watching and waiting. Thank you so very much for the discussion!

Oh, I concur. And I certainly hope you will continue to report back to us.
