Where does the energy come from for all these multiverses?

Was there ever at one time a single ‘verse and from that point on multiverse have been increasing at an infinite rate? Each event that is not quantized in output has infinite possible results. So infinity is increasing constantly at an infinite rate?

The real question is is this testable? Can any one experiment prove it wrong? If not to the first, it is religion. If yes to the latter, it just ain’t true.

An where does the energy for these infinitely increasing at an infinite rate multiverses come from?? Is Conservation of Energy not valid for this theory? Or is it true only in a single ‘verse?

Sounds like a good way to get more government funding to justify a endowed chair or full professor position in my eyes.

So that’s where lieberals come from! There have been rips between the fabric of universes, and the psychotic idea’s just flow in! Darn that parallel universe!

Wrong. Your dryer eats socks, but only 1/2 a pair.

In a parallel universe I am President and Monica Lewinsky is my wife. (I could’ve told you parallel universes suck!)

You forget that Rose Tyler and Jackie were trapped in a parallel world that the Doctor could not visit.

The episode just this week had The Doctor telling Captain Jack Harkness that Rose didn't die but is safely alive in a parallel universe. Jack lets it slip to Martha that Rose was a blonde.

"So, in a parallel universe Al Gore won the election, John Kerry won the election...."

Those universes aren't parallel to ours. They skew off at obtuse angles.

Yeah, one goes to the left and the other goes even further to the left.

The new work bolsters his claim that quantum theory does not forbid time travel. "It does sidestep it. You go into another universe," he said yesterday

About time he caught up. Marvel Comics knew this in the 1970s.

Just read "Marvel Two-in-One" #50, (April 1979) to know how it all works.

I can find that key from here ... it is attached to the cord of the drill with a too long strap which allowed it to make a sound hitting the floor or other thing but remained attached to the cord. Give me an addy where I send the psychic hotline bill ...

No scientist worth ANYTHING would ever present “proof” of a controversial theory. Even theories that are more or less “proven” remain labeled theories because other, as yet undiscovered, explanations could exist.

Additionally, any scientific theory that sounds straight out of a Star Trek episode I feel the need to almost automatically reject, despite the fact that I personally love science fiction. Talking about electron spin and quantum mechanics doesn’t have anything to do with alternate realities or time travel.

Those “macro” events are the result of the micro quantum events list in the article such as “a radioactive atom decaying, for example, or a particle of light impinging on your retina - the universe is supposed to “split” into different universes.” That would result in a lot of universes.

In a parellel universe...Al Gore wins the election. We still have 9-11 but only go to war with Afghanistan. We boldly win and thats it. Saddam? Still in charge and facing a nuclear Iran....so he has no choice but to develop nuclear weapons. GW? Well...he went back to the Texas Rangers and got back into baseball management. Hillary...went off to be a senator but really couldn’t get much going....so she was happy to just be a senator. Bill? Got divorced and married Monica. IRS started a program under President Al to allow you to donate tax refunds to carbon credits. Senator Craig? By the midst of Al’s second term...Craig announces that he’s gay and happy...and a Democrat.
