space is big. really big. you just wouldn't believe how hugely, mind bogglingly big it is.

i am absolutely ignorant when it comes to this stuff, but i do remember Ian Malcolm from Jurrassic Park, and I worry what the long reaching dangers of messing with the trajectory of giant rocks in the sky might be. Im assuming they are studying this, but how accurate can they be with regard to where these asteroids would go and what other things might be in their path along the way before hitting it?

To me, there are 3 possibilities. The multiverse doesn’t exist, the multiverse is not infinite, or the multiverse exists, but it is not possible (at least yet) to travel between multiverses. If the multiverse is infinite and traversable, there would be infinite travelers showing up in infinite locations, in every multiverse.

We'll never know any of it. Never. We'll find more mysteries.

It’s sort of mind breaking, your meat brain wasn’t built to imagine such things. But in order to have an event, you need a place and time. Xyz and time coordinates. You have a place without a time, that’s not an event. Time without a place, not an event. Without both of them nothing happens.

I’ve always thought that “supernatural” phenomena were people encountering something beyond their ability to parse, so they can only understand it via a preexisting cultural framework - aliens, angels, etc

Edit: it gets more confusing when you start thinking about how time space is essentially created by the forces of gravity

I don’t think you quite understand what xenophobia means

I look at multiverse like an explosion. When there is an explosion the forces are directed 360 degrees.

When we look at the Big Bang we are seeing the light from a single point. Imagine seeing a light from a afar enough to see its single but not close enough to whats directly behind the light.

I think our universe is 1 of a few or 1 of 360. I think it’s somewhere in between.

Not at all. Manny People experience similar feeling for other reason. It has a name but can remember it right know. I get the same feeling looking up in a cloud free day seeing nothing but empty sky.

The multiverse is one of many similar theories who's sole purpose is to hypothesize about unknown. For everything we know about physics, there are still a lot of things that don't add up, and things like multiverse theries just propose possibilities that might fill in the blanks.

Not only are there multiverses but there’s an infinite number of them for all time. “Nothing” cannot exist. It’s like dividing by zero. Universes are a wave of matter and energy.

I think it’s our inability to fathom the infinite. The way I think about it is to imagine our universe as an atom and the other universes are atoms beside it.

Are trolls targeting this sub? Seems every post now is someone trolling/asking bizarre questions.

He didn’t say anything bad about white holes though.

Came here to say this.

Homemade documentaries is one of my favorite documentary series of all time and I watch a lot of documentaries. It is utterly terrific and insightful.

I’ve always subscribed to the possibility that what is considered impossible in our universe may not be so in another; who says they all have to abide by the same scientific laws as our universe?

The closest I have gotten to the multiverse is dmt, will definitely open ones eyes.

Exploitation by more advanced civilizations here on earth comes from a need/desire for more resources. Be that gold, spices, slaves, whatever.

If a civilization is sufficiently advanced to have interstellar travel, we have nothing they would want. Human slaves are less efficient than machines. Any type of material that earth has can be gained elsewhere easier. I doubt they would care about our spices. I suppose they could just be cruel, but crossing the galaxy to kill off humans would be like a human flying to the other side planet to swat a fly.

EDIT: More like building a custom solid gold jumbo jet that can only use diamonds as fuel to fly several times around the globe exclusively to swat a fly that you read about in a cuneiform tablet written in Mesopotamia.

Multiverse could be just two. Or 11. Doesn't have to be infinite.

I picture the the universe as a bubble. A multiverse could be seen as another bubble stuck to more bubbles. Like foam. Or bubble bath.

You are combining two distinct interpretations of quantum mechanics. In a multiverse interpretation, there is no waveform collapse, as all possible outcomes occur.

Here is my take using logical deduction principles. ? Particles > Atom > molecule > cell > organism > planet > solar system > galaxy > universe > ?

Stop on both sides or multiverse

It's easy. It's a bullshit term invented to allow movie executives to make horrible movies that follow no timeline, lore or canon.
