After posting the link to you, I thought a lot of folks would like to take a gander at the article. It's going to be interesting getting some folks' comments on this...

Thank you so much for the heads up!

Max Tegmark's article is illuminating and verrrry timely!

Until now, all the attempts to explain the alternative multi-verse views, that I have read, have been shotgun at best. They never before gave the reader an opportunity to "get their arms around" the subject. I've excerpted the Tegmark article now and again and have repeatedly referred Lurkers to it in various discussions here.

Personally, as a Platonist I am in agreement with the Level IV in Tegmark’s article. His frog/bird metaphor is superb for visualizing extra-dimensionality. Strangely, that helps also in understanding Burt Ovrut’s ekpyrotic cosmology even though the dimensions hypothesized are essentially parallel.

Could you think of a better way to rear a ruling 'class' to rule countless galaxies over endless ages based on a philosophical and practical expression of LOVE, humility etc.?

I don't like the idea of parallel universes. I can't even parallel park.

Let's Freep 'em!
