Professor Hubert Farnsworth has already done it.
Don't liberals already live in their own universe?
Mr. Grene, what color is the sky in your universe?
Boy, this is gonna send real estate prices tumbling.
Ok. This just begs the question...
Intelligent design?
The "shock value" of this idea relies on misusing the term "universe." By definition, there is only one universe. To speak of "multiple universes" necessarily involves a new, different meaning of "universe."
Of course, the same fate befell the term "world."
My prediction: This new meaning of "universe" will eventually come to be accepted as its canonical meaning, and some new term will have to be adopted with the same meaning as the term "universe" had originally.
I thought the US treasury was a black hole.
Seems so. Except in this scenario, the creator could be far from all-knowing.
I don't know about you but, I haven't finished exploring the universe we have now to even consider building another one.
isn't San Francisco in an alternate universe?
You're right, it does open one hell of a can of worms. The metaphysics of it all is mind-boggling. Philosophers' heads are probably exploding as they read this.
I do understand the basic concepts reported in the article, and so it being a serious theory, I hesitate launching one of my lighter blurbs...but, do you suppose that our current universe is the result of some sharp teen-ager playing around in a higher universe with a school homework lab?
Yes there are liberal outposts of the liberal universe. A universe in which diversity is celebrated, tolerance is the only virtue, and all types of sexual expression are considered normal.
This guy needs to lay off the acid.
I wonder what the ideal liberal universe would be like. It would be full of idealistic people who celebrate diversity and be full of people who don't work for a living, so they have time to dream about the utopia they hope to create. Everyone would have equal access to universal healthcare, though few would be working to pay for it, because most can't work because they need time to dream about the utopia they want.
Every now and again, I imagine some alien civilization out there gets snuffed out by a physics experiment gone wrong.
What followed the start of the first universe?
A monstrous fireball that inflated about 100 million light years in a few hours.
Create that universe and you snuff out every living thing and every star within 100 million light years (which would be thousands of galaxies.)
smelloscope bump...
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity saith the PREACHER. Men thinking of themselves as gods, just like satan...
