    Default The Multiverse Theory

    So, as most of you right honourable TWC-Er-er's know there is a theory called the Multiverse Theory, it's general conclusion is that there is not only our universe, but an infinite amount of others with different laws of physics, different materials etc.

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse

    I would like to know, what are your opinions of this theory.. ?

    For sure, if there are different laws in other universes we cannot explore them.I would still be happy if we managed to travel to another planetary system

    Hmm, indeed. For once we seem to agree on something. But yes, I wish greatly that we could explore these alternate universes should they exist, it would be interesting to say the least.

    Personally I think the multiverse is more than likely a reality. Whether or not this can ever be confirmed though, I'm not sure.

    P.S. ,this should probably be moved to the Athenaeum.

    It's quite simply unscientific. Why? Because not only does it have no empirical evidence behind it, but it will never be able to have any empirical evidence, by definition. That's the straits atheists have come to. The theory is being fallen back on as the only way to escape from the idea of God.


    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."
    -Samuel Adams

    Considering that materialism, especially materialistic monism itself is only a gross way to turn matter into God, that's not really necessary.
    "Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."

    - Flavius Vegetius Renatus (in Epitoma Rei Militari, ca. 390)

    Reported the thread to hopefully get it moved to Athenaeum and save it from degenerating into another useless debate over the existence of God (don't try and fool yourself into thinking it wont either. )

    Good, we can have a sensible discussion on the actual OP now instead of ramblings about the existance of God

    All the multiverse theory has done is cause one big massive headache for comic book fans. True story.

    If the universe can happen, it makes more sense that there are a large number of them than only the one.

    You need to be a little more specific over the theory you're talking about though if you want to discuss the scientific implications, as they vary depending on the details of the theory.

    Senex Civis,

    Whether there is or isn't is pure imagination, but what is not imaginary is that it is written that what we dwell inside at the moment is something that was created outside of where the Creator is. So in that aspect it could be said that there are at least two entities.

    There was a Jew on another forum who thought there would be different God for each universe, apparently it's not polytheism if it's only one God per universe. It says nothing about multiple universes in the Bible so I guess.

    Holy crap guys, god has nothing to do with this theory, relax.

    There is a science board on here you know, if you create this sort of thread on a religion board God is going to come into it.

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=106

    Though all religions have always believed in a multiple universe of some description the physical universe we experience here not being the totality of all that exists.

    If God is infinite then he will be able to fully master an infinite number of universes anyway.
