Do we live in a Multiverse?

WHEN cosmologist George Ellis turned 70 last year, his friends held
a party to celebrate. There were speeches and drinks and canapés
aplenty to honour the theorist from the University of Cape Town,
South Africa, who is regarded as one of the world’s leading experts
on general relativity. But there the similarity to most parties
ends.
For a start, Ellis’s celebration at the University of Oxford lasted
for three days and the guest list was made up entirely of
physicists, astronomers and philosophers of science. They had
gathered to debate what Ellis considers the most dangerous idea in
science: the suggestion that our universe is but a tiny part of an
unimaginably large and diverse multiverse.
To the dismay of Ellis and many of his colleagues, the multiverse
has developed rapidly from being merely a speculative idea to a
theory verging on respectability. There are good reasons why.

Ya sure ya betcha snookums ! As Jet Li said in his 2001 movie
The One: " There's nothing quite like what I have become " In
Albert Einstein's theory there are an infinite number of quantum
parallel universes. Each one is slightly to widely different from
each other because each one is comprised of the logical
consequences of each decision we make. Like a fork in the
road each turn off our original path starts a new universe. So
yes, most certainly the multiverse. You should check out the
Science channel's explanation of it. Guaranteed to bogle your mind. - 2 years ago
