Multiverse: One Universe or Many?

The inflationary theory of cosmology, an enduring theory about our universe and how it was formed, explains that just after the Big Bang, the universe went through a period of rapid expansion. This theory has been critical to understanding what’s going on in the cosmos today. But now, this long-held notion-which seems to suggest as-yet-unproven and perhaps unprovable features such as the multiverse-is under increasing attack. Through informed debate among architects of the inflationary theory and its prime competitors, this program explored our best attempts to understand where we came from.
This program is part of the Big Ideas Series

That`s why the multiverse theory, like alternative realities is new age religion, not science. By definition there can only be one Universe and reality. And if others existed, the evidence of it`s effect on ours would be observable. As far as observable evidence goes, The Universe evolves from nothing but the vacuum energy of empty space which is also the future state of The Universe. Hence we are living in an eternal `cyclic` Universe. But science fiction has become the most popular religion in the west because the majority find fiction more entertaining than fact. Same with other supernatural beliefs that caters for the human ego, like the illusion of `free will`.

[@donaldbaird7849]

@@jem5231 I agree with you for the most part but calling it "religion" is a bit disingenuous. It's theoretical physics and should still be taken somewhat seriously (like the rest of theoretical physics) but should also be taken with a HUGE grain of salt as it is not confirmed nor is it scientifically testable at the moment. If the multiverse theory was true, then it would explain why our universe appears to be so fine tuned without necessarily having to invoke the anthropic principle, which is why it should still be taken seriously. Anyone that tells you it is actually real though is either lying to themselves or a fool ofc

[@llamamusicchannel7688]

@@jem5231 spot the atheist layman that still believes science has all the answers Science describes many things, there's no theory of everything yet though, so you putting all your faith into our current understanding of how the world works is really no different to a religious person putting all their faith into an ideology. Neither has all the answers. No truth is known, we have observed the universe to the nth degree and yet do not understand what any of it is. We can harness electricity, know how to convert photons into the flow of electricity and back again, yet have no clue what electromagnetism really is. We can describe how things function, yet do not know how anything truly works. So until we have a theory of everything, that thoroughly describes how and why everything exists, putting all your faith on "but muh science" is no different in my eyes. If a creator exists, science would still be valid, you'd be observing the exact same things. All science does is disprove religious tales like those in the Bible stating we were created in God's image. God would have started the universe with a bang, and from there all our current scientific observations would be exactly the same as if we just happened to come into existence. How is a creator any more ludicrous than the big bang? Both dictate something comes from nothing, if there is no creator that doesn't make the universe any less ridiculous than if there is one. Fact is, I exist, I know I exist, I do not know why I exist, claiming to have a definite understanding of why I came to exist would be idiotic.

[@synisterfish]

"The Universe", (whichever idea of it we subscribe to), is the nickname we have given to a categorically unknowable mystery. The realisation of this mystery which we call "reality" is entirely dependent on our particular scale, our senses, and our faculty of inquiry... meanwhile, everything we think we know about this consensual, agreed upon, "reality" is entirely constructed from descriptive language. This modern age is a construction of magic words; words of such great magicians as the likes of Sir Isaac Newton and Rene Descartes, wizards who unpacked their ideas into the general reality of everybody and created the foundation of what we considered to be 'true' for a long time... From "God" to "Gravity" or from "Adam" to "The Atom", all of the ideas from the religious or scientific worldviews that we consider to be facts are actually just made out of words: metaphors; literary devices; reductions; approximations; models in the program of our "human condition[ing]".

[@gelato007]

I think the Big Bang happened once and i think it caused 2 other universes at the same time and everything that is happening in our universe is happening in the other universes at the same time as well so basically it’s like 3 balloons tided together and all of the universes are expanding by the second

[@missepicmandy]

Our universe was created from Big Bang. Then, after some unknown time after expansion, it will change back to its current state. And as that happens a new universe will be born instantly. So basically our universe renews itself every 49 billion years.

Stuff like this really rips my knitting. I remember as a child discovering that if I faced two mirrors at each other I could then see reflection upon reflection upon reflection seemingly forever. And began thinking what if I could shrink myself down smaller and smaller as needed and follow the reflections further and further into the mirror. How small could it get? Imagine what that does to a 5 or 6 year old mind. I mentioned the thought to a schoolteacher who I think considered it sort of weird that one so young was pondering this while all the others were more interested in playing with crayons. But the teacher did mention atoms and even smaller particles which simply messed me up further. I discovered that atoms were orbited by particles even smaller than they were and began to think but isn't that exactly what the solar system looks like? Sun as an atom with planets etc. as electrons orbiting it and so on? My 5 year old mind then thought does this mean that the sun and all solar system objects could be merely particles in some mind bogglingly large solid body? and that's even before later beginning to incorporate galaxies into the whole speculation. Thoughts like that have been torturing me ever since and then the likes of these guys come along with all this multiverse stuff. All I want to think about that is please just shut up already. I'm still back here in my mirrors.

Slevin Channel 🐟 05. THE PHENOMENAL UNIVERSE: The fact that the external, phenomenal universe (“prakṛti”, in Sanskrit) of names and forms (“nāmarūpa”, in Sanskrit/Pali) exists solely within personal consciousness (and by extension, Universal Consciousness), is superlatively logical. If this material world actually existed as a separate reality, then obviously, it would have limits, because the nature of matter is that it has a measurable, three-dimensional finitude. Therefore, if one were to travel to the edge of the universe, there would need to be something WITHOUT the boundary of the universe (some other ’’universe’’, which contains this universe). This contradicts the very concept of a universe (literally, “turned into one”). The late, great Professor Dr. Alan Watts’ response to the question: “where is the universe located?”, was: “nowhere and everywhere”. This phenomenal manifestation is composed of space, time, energy, and matter, the latter of which comprises eight elemental groups - the five GROSS elements (“mahābhūta”, in Sanskrit), which are perceivable by at least one of the five senses, and the three SUBTLE elements (“tanmātra” or “atisūkṣma mātra”, in Sanskrit), which are symptomatic of localized consciousness. N. B. Dark matter is not included in this system, as cosmological science has yet to determine its structural composition. The five gross material elements and three subtle material elements are (from most gross to most subtle): SOLIDS (AKA earth - “bhūmiḥ” or “pṛthivī”, in Sanskrit) are made of densely-packed atoms and molecules of a steady shape at room temperature. LIQUIDS (AKA water - “jala” or “āpaḥ”, in Sanskrit) are composed of moderately dense molecules (usually including at least some water) of no fixed shape. GAS (AKA air - “vāyuḥ” or “marut”, in Sanskrit) consists of rarefied atomic particles of no fixed shape. HEAT (AKA fire - “analaḥ” or “tejas”, in Sanskrit) is made of kinetic energy (which may or may not appear visibly as fire, or at least heat waves). ETHER (AKA space - “ākāśa” or “khaṃ”, in Sanskrit) is a vacuum consisting of three-dimensional space (length, breadth, and width). However, recent investigation has confirmed that empty space is actually filled with virtual particles (matter and antimatter). Thus, the explanation for the material universe being created from “nothing” (anti-matter) is plausible, according to quantum field theory. MIND (“manaḥ”, in Sanskrit) is composed of sensual perceptions, instinctual thoughts, abstract images (including memories and fantasies), and emotions. Not all animal species possess a mind, but function purely on base instincts, originating from their genetic code, via a rudimentary nervous system. INTELLECT (“buddhiḥ”, in Sanskrit) consists of conceptual thoughts. Only the very higher species of animal life possess an intellectual capacity. PSEUDO-EGO (“ahaṃkāraḥ”, in Sanskrit) is comprised of the “I” thought (in this case, the illusory, temporal self-identity). Only humans possess the self-awareness necessary to question their own existence. Read Chapter 10 for a full elucidation of egoity. Each of the FIVE gross material elements corresponds to one of the senses of the body. E.g. In outer space, where there is a vacuum (ether), one can detect light with the eyes, yet space is not tactile and cannot be smelled or tasted, nor can sound waves travel via space. At the opposite extreme, solid matter can be seen with the eyes, felt with the sense of touch, tasted with the tongue, smelt with the nose, and heard with the ear (when the solid matter is physically vibrated). Beyond these eight material elements is the TRUE self - which pervades the entire body, and indeed, which is the Universal Self (“ayam ātmā brahma”, in Sanskrit). That explains why we say: “This is my body” or “I possess a mind”. Who is the owner of the body and the mind? It is us, the anti-matter, the inextinguishable authentic self/Self (“ātmana/Paramātmana”, in Sanskrit). Ultimately speaking, the Universal Self alone is. HOWEVER, all eight elements are in fact “made” of Consciousness, since, as demonstrated previously, naught but Consciousness exists. Consciousness is the ultimate reality (“prajñānam brahma”, in Sanskrit). Just as a wedding ring depends on gold for its very existence, so too does the phenomenal universe depend entirely on ”Beingness” or “Isness”, Consciousness, and Blissful Awareness. Although The Absolute cannot be verbally-described, (otherwise, it would be an OBJECT), as a concession to materialists, Infinite Consciousness has said to exhibit three innate attributes, known as “sacchidānanda”, a compounded Sanskrit epithet, consisting of the three words “sat”, “cit” and “ānanda” - Eternal Being(ness), Existence, or Truth; Conscious Knowledge; and Perfect Peace (often translated as “bliss”. However, the term “bliss” connotes an ephemeral experience of euphoria, whereas “peace” is the absence of any form of temporal suffering). Because Absolutely Nothing (“Brahman”, in Sanskrit) is Infinite Creative Potentiality, it actualizes as Absolutely Everything. Attributeless Consciousness at Rest (in Sanskrit, “Nirguna Brahman”) manifests as this phenomenal universe (Consciousness in Action, or in Sanskrit, “Saguna Brahman”). In the verbiage of quantum physics, the enfolded implicate order ‘becomes’ the unfolded explicate order. In REALITY there is no separation of anything at any time (assuming that Consciousness is a “thing”, and that time is an attribute of The Uncaused Absolute). That the total sum energy of the universe is zero, implies the non-existence of matter (i. e. no thing exists objectively). The phenomenal manifestation is eternally cyclical, because ‘coming into existence’ implies ‘going out of existence’, just as ‘black’ implies the existence of ‘white’, or as ‘rich’ implies ‘poor’. Is it possible to have something without nothing? Obviously not, because the two go together, as interrelated opposites. Similarly, despite what most believe, the outer-world is as much the Self as the inner-world. Where is the boundary of the human body? When we look at a person, we cannot see that person UNLESS we also see the background image. The two are inseparable, just as a flower and a bee cannot exist without the other. This fact alone is ample evidence that the universe is a holistic and wholistic system or entity. You who are reading these words are that Totality of Existence, the Highest Universal Principle, the Essential Irreducible Self. In common parlance, you are God (IF you only knew it!). Most of the greatest sages in history have spoken about either or both these concepts (of the Absolute Truth being either Absolutely Everything or Absolute Nothingness), such as the concept of “nirvana” in Buddhism, or in Avatar Meher Baba's book “The Everything and the Nothing” (which is highly-recommended, particularly Chapters 51 to 56, which poetically describe the Ineffable One-without-a-second). Even an ordinary writer, American author Kurt Vonnegut, once penned: “Everything is nothing - with a twist”. The Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics professor, Doctor Leonard Susskind's so-called “minus-first law of physics” states that information is INDESTRUCTIBLE. This is akin to the law of conservation of energy in classical physics, and proves that neither physical or psychic energy is lost. Read subsequent chapters to learn more about how this law relates to the notion of reincarnation, as well as to miraculous phenomena such as savant syndrome. The planet on which we are residing consists of animate/organic life, as well as inanimate/inorganic matter. The six stages of ORGANIC life are: 1. conception/birth 2. growth/development 3. maintenance 4. reproduction 5. ageing/deterioration 6. death British polymath Thomas Young's famous double-slit experiment suggests that matter exists purely as potentiality or as a "possibility" until it is observed by a conscious being. This phenomenon, known as the wave-particle duality, is often discussed in advanced spiritual discourses, as it gives credence to the primacy of Consciousness. There are other aspects of the universe (e.g. the various philosophical approaches to the nature of ontological time, the accelerated expanding universe, holographic universe principle, quantum superposition, wave function, and quantum entanglement), as well as the possibility of life on other planets, the crop circle phenomenon, and the presence of the Fibonacci sequence in nature, which are beyond the scope of this document, and which do not directly relate to the most important thing in life (to find the unending peace/happiness which we humans are ULTIMATELY seeking). “Find out who you REALLY are so that when death comes…there is no-one to kill, for while you are identified with your role, with your name, with your ego, there is someone to kill. But when you are identified with the whole universe, death finds you already annihilated and there’s no-one to kill”. ************* “Just as you depend on the universe, so too does the universe depend on YOU. Everything depends on everything else.” Professor Alan W. Watts, British-American Philosopher. “Who is the perceiver? Universal Consciousness alone is the perceiver. The body is merely the mechanism, through which perceiving takes place and from which the ego is inferred, as the perceiver of other objects. Strictly speaking, there is neither the perceiver nor the perceived. There is only perceiving, as the objective expression of the subjective functioning, of the one Universal Consciousness.” Ramesh Balsekar, Indian Spiritual Teacher.

[@Disgruntled_Old_Man]

Neal Turoch (No clue if I'm spelling that correctly) is speaking about theory that is still controversial and stating it like it's fact. Dark Energy and Dark Matter are barely considered theories and are still highly contested. While a particle called the Higs bozon was in fact discovered it is still unclear as to whether or not the field generated by this particle is responsible for the formation of matter or anything at all. The way the speaker is describing space is incredibly destructive and can lead to huge misconceptions that will add a bias to future discoveries and researchers down the road need to ensure they're not tainted by a bias when trying to unravel mysteries. If it's not 100% observable than at most it's a theory. In some cases it's fairly obvious that the theories are almost certainly accurate such as the theory of evolution, which despite what creationists claim, has been reproduced in a lab. On the subject of Dark Matter / Dark Energy and the Higs Field those are still highly contested theories without enough evidence to be accepted as mainstream thought. Dark Energy and Dark matter really look like a lazy idea to describe observations being made in the universe around us. When I personally look at the theory it's almost as bad as saying "Magic" is responsible. We have yet to find a single particle of dark matter and experiments in the deepest parts of our planet have been going on for years in an attempt to find this matter. As for dark energy it's so incredibly vague. All we know is the universe is expanding faster so someone came up with the hypothesis of dark energy as a way to get people looking for the source of the energy that is causing this phenomena but instead of people trying to find the source they simply began running around calling the non-observed energy Dark Energy. As for Dark Matter this theory came about becuase of our current understanding of gravity. Models of galaxies on computer simulations would begin flinging themselves apart into space. The only way to get the models to work the same way we see galaxies working in real life was to add a fuck ton of more matter to it than we actually observe within the galaxies due to our current formula for gravity. This is what stopped the galaxies in the computer modeling to stop flinging themselves apart. That is too easily argued away by simply saying our understanding of gravity isn't accurate which is a statement that's known to be true. If you're a researcher you absolutely have to be clear when speaking that these are not absolutes and this guest speaker is doing the exact opposite. If people's picture of reality is incorrect that makes them insane. To give the impression that these are absolutes can cause others to have an inaccurate picture of reality. That's the purpose of propaganda, not science.

That is a very interesting theory! What I love about these debates is that beautiful minds honed in to a specific theory and thus extensively studied and explored their thoughts! I for one love the enamored yearning for answers that all of these people live by. One theory I have is that time is only relevant to our tangible reality. So it's extremely difficult to understand higher dimensions or paradigms with our limited capacity bounded by time. And also I think it also applies to our science and biological boundaries.

Great channel! I think that each universe is connected; I mean, I think that multiverse might be real, but not that every alternative exists, since everything that happens in one of the universes has to have an effect on all others, albeit the effect might be infinitesimally small. We can notice such phenomenon in our own world, and there's no example that I know of where the opposite's true. Most notably planets and stars, might to some extent seem like separate entities but gravity reaches across the entire universe, and there's no reason to think that the forces of our own universe don't effect others. And if the forces effect other universes, then the multiverse is a single universe, since the forces of our own can reach out to all other universes.

I give you a quote from Sir Arthur Eddington:(close, anyway) "The Universe is not only stranger than you imagine it to be, it is stranger than you CAN imagine it to be." The effort of most scientists is to develop an understanding of the operating principles of the Universe such that humans can use that understanding to control the Universe insofar as that will be possible. Without an understanding of and control of the operations of the Universe we have to live with beliefs rather than being able to affect the Universe.

in my gravitational field model. it leads to an odd possibility, that there are gravitational flux points that could result in slurred reality. not multiple universes, but polar moments of displaced wave function, that could displace entropy to a multi state of existence overlaying one another. imagine it like having multiple negatives of a single picture, with each having a different possibility of that photo, from fractions of that moment, the entropic outcomes, all then account into this. as we make choices, we take one or more of those slides out, but say another person chooses opposite to you. you stack these negatives, and then print the picture. all these negatives accumulate into one image, where the picture would from it to the other potential outcome, outline a true moment of time. so you can sit on a troff or crest of a gravitational field frequency, and exist in a completely seperate stack of these negatives of photos that make up your own reality. so one polar moment of entropy, could cause you to exist in a completely seperate hologram like outcome, than to another's. think of it like a mirage. you don't really know what is on the other side of that refraction of light. well this is like a refraction of gravity that displaces time between those potential moments, though they exist in the same space and time, they have a seperate probability to equal that exact truth of the moment itself. sounds insane, but it could derive good and bad choices, to create a perception of hell vs heaven on earth. where people outputting these more positive gravitational troff choices or negative crest choices, fabricate their own realities.

9_Bucks Slevin Channel 🐟 05. THE PHENOMENAL UNIVERSE: The fact that the external, phenomenal universe (“prakṛti”, in Sanskrit) of names and forms (“nāmarūpa”, in Sanskrit/Pali) exists solely within personal consciousness (and by extension, Universal Consciousness), is superlatively logical. If this material world actually existed as a separate reality, then obviously, it would have limits, because the nature of matter is that it has a measurable, three-dimensional finitude. Therefore, if one were to travel to the edge of the universe, there would need to be something WITHOUT the boundary of the universe (some other ’’universe’’, which contains this universe). This contradicts the very concept of a universe (literally, “turned into one”). The late, great Professor Dr. Alan Watts’ response to the question: “where is the universe located?”, was: “nowhere and everywhere”. This phenomenal manifestation is composed of space, time, energy, and matter, the latter of which comprises eight elemental groups - the five GROSS elements (“mahābhūta”, in Sanskrit), which are perceivable by at least one of the five senses, and the three SUBTLE elements (“tanmātra” or “atisūkṣma mātra”, in Sanskrit), which are symptomatic of localized consciousness. N. B. Dark matter is not included in this system, as cosmological science has yet to determine its structural composition. The five gross material elements and three subtle material elements are (from most gross to most subtle): SOLIDS (AKA earth - “bhūmiḥ” or “pṛthivī”, in Sanskrit) are made of densely-packed atoms and molecules of a steady shape at room temperature. LIQUIDS (AKA water - “jala” or “āpaḥ”, in Sanskrit) are composed of moderately dense molecules (usually including at least some water) of no fixed shape. GAS (AKA air - “vāyuḥ” or “marut”, in Sanskrit) consists of rarefied atomic particles of no fixed shape. HEAT (AKA fire - “analaḥ” or “tejas”, in Sanskrit) is made of kinetic energy (which may or may not appear visibly as fire, or at least heat waves). ETHER (AKA space - “ākāśa” or “khaṃ”, in Sanskrit) is a vacuum consisting of three-dimensional space (length, breadth, and width). However, recent investigation has confirmed that empty space is actually filled with virtual particles (matter and antimatter). Thus, the explanation for the material universe being created from “nothing” (anti-matter) is plausible, according to quantum field theory. MIND (“manaḥ”, in Sanskrit) is composed of sensual perceptions, instinctual thoughts, abstract images (including memories and fantasies), and emotions. Not all animal species possess a mind, but function purely on base instincts, originating from their genetic code, via a rudimentary nervous system. INTELLECT (“buddhiḥ”, in Sanskrit) consists of conceptual thoughts. Only the very higher species of animal life possess an intellectual capacity. PSEUDO-EGO (“ahaṃkāraḥ”, in Sanskrit) is comprised of the “I” thought (in this case, the illusory, temporal self-identity). Only humans possess the self-awareness necessary to question their own existence. Read Chapter 10 for a full elucidation of egoity. Each of the FIVE gross material elements corresponds to one of the senses of the body. E.g. In outer space, where there is a vacuum (ether), one can detect light with the eyes, yet space is not tactile and cannot be smelled or tasted, nor can sound waves travel via space. At the opposite extreme, solid matter can be seen with the eyes, felt with the sense of touch, tasted with the tongue, smelt with the nose, and heard with the ear (when the solid matter is physically vibrated). Beyond these eight material elements is the TRUE self - which pervades the entire body, and indeed, which is the Universal Self (“ayam ātmā brahma”, in Sanskrit). That explains why we say: “This is my body” or “I possess a mind”. Who is the owner of the body and the mind? It is us, the anti-matter, the inextinguishable authentic self/Self (“ātmana/Paramātmana”, in Sanskrit). Ultimately speaking, the Universal Self alone is. HOWEVER, all eight elements are in fact “made” of Consciousness, since, as demonstrated previously, naught but Consciousness exists. Consciousness is the ultimate reality (“prajñānam brahma”, in Sanskrit). Just as a wedding ring depends on gold for its very existence, so too does the phenomenal universe depend entirely on ”Beingness” or “Isness”, Consciousness, and Blissful Awareness. Although The Absolute cannot be verbally-described, (otherwise, it would be an OBJECT), as a concession to materialists, Infinite Consciousness has said to exhibit three innate attributes, known as “sacchidānanda”, a compounded Sanskrit epithet, consisting of the three words “sat”, “cit” and “ānanda” - Eternal Being(ness), Existence, or Truth; Conscious Knowledge; and Perfect Peace (often translated as “bliss”. However, the term “bliss” connotes an ephemeral experience of euphoria, whereas “peace” is the absence of any form of temporal suffering). Because Absolutely Nothing (“Brahman”, in Sanskrit) is Infinite Creative Potentiality, it actualizes as Absolutely Everything. Attributeless Consciousness at Rest (in Sanskrit, “Nirguna Brahman”) manifests as this phenomenal universe (Consciousness in Action, or in Sanskrit, “Saguna Brahman”). In the verbiage of quantum physics, the enfolded implicate order ‘becomes’ the unfolded explicate order. In REALITY there is no separation of anything at any time (assuming that Consciousness is a “thing”, and that time is an attribute of The Uncaused Absolute). That the total sum energy of the universe is zero, implies the non-existence of matter (i. e. no thing exists objectively). The phenomenal manifestation is eternally cyclical, because ‘coming into existence’ implies ‘going out of existence’, just as ‘black’ implies the existence of ‘white’, or as ‘rich’ implies ‘poor’. Is it possible to have something without nothing? Obviously not, because the two go together, as interrelated opposites. Similarly, despite what most believe, the outer-world is as much the Self as the inner-world. Where is the boundary of the human body? When we look at a person, we cannot see that person UNLESS we also see the background image. The two are inseparable, just as a flower and a bee cannot exist without the other. This fact alone is ample evidence that the universe is a holistic and wholistic system or entity. You who are reading these words are that Totality of Existence, the Highest Universal Principle, the Essential Irreducible Self. In common parlance, you are God (IF you only knew it!). Most of the greatest sages in history have spoken about either or both these concepts (of the Absolute Truth being either Absolutely Everything or Absolute Nothingness), such as the concept of “nirvana” in Buddhism, or in Avatar Meher Baba's book “The Everything and the Nothing” (which is highly-recommended, particularly Chapters 51 to 56, which poetically describe the Ineffable One-without-a-second). Even an ordinary writer, American author Kurt Vonnegut, once penned: “Everything is nothing - with a twist”. The Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics professor, Doctor Leonard Susskind's so-called “minus-first law of physics” states that information is INDESTRUCTIBLE. This is akin to the law of conservation of energy in classical physics, and proves that neither physical or psychic energy is lost. Read subsequent chapters to learn more about how this law relates to the notion of reincarnation, as well as to miraculous phenomena such as savant syndrome. The planet on which we are residing consists of animate/organic life, as well as inanimate/inorganic matter. The six stages of ORGANIC life are: 1. conception/birth 2. growth/development 3. maintenance 4. reproduction 5. ageing/deterioration 6. death British polymath Thomas Young's famous double-slit experiment suggests that matter exists purely as potentiality or as a "possibility" until it is observed by a conscious being. This phenomenon, known as the wave-particle duality, is often discussed in advanced spiritual discourses, as it gives credence to the primacy of Consciousness. There are other aspects of the universe (e.g. the various philosophical approaches to the nature of ontological time, the accelerated expanding universe, holographic universe principle, quantum superposition, wave function, and quantum entanglement), as well as the possibility of life on other planets, the crop circle phenomenon, and the presence of the Fibonacci sequence in nature, which are beyond the scope of this document, and which do not directly relate to the most important thing in life (to find the unending peace/happiness which we humans are ULTIMATELY seeking). “Find out who you REALLY are so that when death comes…there is no-one to kill, for while you are identified with your role, with your name, with your ego, there is someone to kill. But when you are identified with the whole universe, death finds you already annihilated and there’s no-one to kill”. ************* “Just as you depend on the universe, so too does the universe depend on YOU. Everything depends on everything else.” Professor Alan W. Watts, British-American Philosopher. “Who is the perceiver? Universal Consciousness alone is the perceiver. The body is merely the mechanism, through which perceiving takes place and from which the ego is inferred, as the perceiver of other objects. Strictly speaking, there is neither the perceiver nor the perceived. There is only perceiving, as the objective expression of the subjective functioning, of the one Universal Consciousness.” Ramesh Balsekar, Indian Spiritual Teacher.

Because Absolutely Nothing (“Brahman”, in Sanskrit) is Infinite Creative Potentiality, it actualizes as Absolutely Everything. Attributeless Consciousness at Rest (in Sanskrit, “Nirguna Brahman”) manifests as this phenomenal universe (Consciousness in Action, or in Sanskrit, “Saguna Brahman”). In the verbiage of quantum physics, the enfolded implicate order ‘becomes’ the unfolded explicate order. In REALITY there is no separation of anything at any time (assuming that Consciousness is a “thing”, and that time is an attribute of The Uncaused Absolute). That the total sum energy of the universe is zero, implies the non-existence of matter (i. e. no thing exists objectively). The phenomenal manifestation is eternally cyclical, because ‘coming into existence’ implies ‘going out of existence’, just as ‘black’ implies the existence of ‘white’, or as ‘rich’ implies ‘poor’. Is it possible to have something without nothing? Obviously not, because the two go together, as interrelated opposites. Similarly, despite what most believe, the outer-world is as much the Self as the inner-world. Where is the boundary of the human body? When we look at a person, we cannot see that person UNLESS we also see the background image. The two are inseparable, just as a flower and a bee cannot exist without the other. This fact alone is ample evidence that the universe is a holistic and wholistic system or entity. You who are reading these words are that Totality of Existence, the Highest Universal Principle, the Essential Irreducible Self. In common parlance, you are God (IF you only knew it!). Most of the greatest sages in history have spoken about either or both these concepts (of the Absolute Truth being either Absolutely Everything or Absolute Nothingness), such as the concept of “nirvana” in Buddhism, or in Avatar Meher Baba's book “The Everything and the Nothing” (which is highly-recommended, particularly Chapters 51 to 56, which poetically describe the Ineffable One-without-a-second). Even an ordinary writer, American author Kurt Vonnegut, once penned: “Everything is nothing - with a twist”. The Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics professor, Doctor Leonard Susskind's so-called “minus-first law of physics” states that information is INDESTRUCTIBLE. This is akin to the law of conservation of energy in classical physics, and proves that neither physical or psychic energy is lost. Read subsequent chapters to learn more about how this law relates to the notion of reincarnation, as well as to miraculous phenomena such as savant syndrome. The planet on which we are residing consists of animate/organic life, as well as inanimate/inorganic matter. The six stages of ORGANIC life are: 1. conception/birth 2. growth/development 3. maintenance 4. reproduction 5. ageing/deterioration 6. death British polymath Thomas Young's famous double-slit experiment suggests that matter exists purely as potentiality or as a "possibility" until it is observed by a conscious being. This phenomenon, known as the wave-particle duality, is often discussed in advanced spiritual discourses, as it gives credence to the primacy of Consciousness. There are other aspects of the universe (e.g. the various philosophical approaches to the nature of ontological time, the accelerated expanding universe, holographic universe principle, quantum superposition, wave function, and quantum entanglement), as well as the possibility of life on other planets, the crop circle phenomenon, and the presence of the Fibonacci sequence in nature, which are beyond the scope of this document, and which do not directly relate to the most important thing in life (to find the unending peace/happiness which we humans are ULTIMATELY seeking). “Find out who you REALLY are so that when death comes…there is no-one to kill, for while you are identified with your role, with your name, with your ego, there is someone to kill. But when you are identified with the whole universe, death finds you already annihilated and there’s no-one to kill”. ************* “Just as you depend on the universe, so too does the universe depend on YOU. Everything depends on everything else.” Professor Alan W. Watts, British-American Philosopher. “Who is the perceiver? Universal Consciousness alone is the perceiver. The body is merely the mechanism, through which perceiving takes place and from which the ego is inferred, as the perceiver of other objects. Strictly speaking, there is neither the perceiver nor the perceived. There is only perceiving, as the objective expression of the subjective functioning, of the one Universal Consciousness.” Ramesh Balsekar, Indian Spiritual Teacher.

By the size of this one, anything that can happen will happen in this one. Nonetheless, if this Universe is the inside of something, than the external part of it or the plane above is even bigger than this one. When we look down we see a continuum state of existence/awareness throughout the microcosm. Could we apply the same rule if there was a chance for us to look "upwards"? Is it too scary if the Universe is a being among others in his own dimension? We can't look out but if we could we wouldn't be able to process the amount of information. Pretty scary isn't it? If we truly consider the Multiverse then we have to consider that it too must be part of another whole, a Universe in which all those Universes exist separately from each other but in the same "sea". We happen to be inside one of them :)

...Branes, are what you refer to....

[@GeorgeJansen]

Again, this should be played in every US junior high, science class. These guys are So interesting 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@superman9693]

How can I switch to the parallel universe, where I am happy, have a girlfriend, I am not stuck in my bachelor‘s study, I have nice friends, I am not addicted to drugs, not in debt, I do sport und feel fit?

[@impuredeath2]

There are 12 universe... according to dragon ball z.

[@5tonyvvvv]

Why Aren't Atheists skeptical of all these unseen inaccessible universes??

[@dougiequick1]

Ballz said the queen, If I had 2, then I'd be king....and it would all be exactly different just like it was right now, tomorrow....WAKE UP! Admit you are asleep and only dreaming you were awake upon dozing....But seriously, all these theories, all this talk is like mental masturbation but you never climax....The only ones that profit are those that get PAID for jerking off in front of everyone ....they have to be embarrassed much like someone who's job is dressing up in a gorilla costume hopping around in the sun, sweating and holding some stupid sign hawking some failing business in some sleazy strip mall...but at least the smuck in the costume has anonymity.... unlike these posers.....AGGGHHHH!!!

[@Moronvideos1940]

My universe is always with me, living or dead ....

[@EthanXFellows]

The earth was believed to be flat until it was proved not. The string theory based multiverse model makes much more sense to me.

[@sharadmishra1695]

I'm doing ba program with political science and economics because I haven't score good in my 12 th I took science .... But believe me I never left my curiosity in vain and I'm here 😃✨💕

[@wayne00k]

I'm a little late to visit this lecture series so I will confess that I have found great amusement and comfort in this panel's participants - for a collection of scholars whose careers have been so dependent on maths - they sure are loose with specifics regarding time. Don't hate on this observation- I am merely revealing in their enthusiasm with them. :)

[@neilldn74]

Alan Guth was the most interesting of them by far and the host just didn't let him talk much for whatever reason.

[@m23swwager1]

idk why he didn't I noticed that also if you still answer this bc this is a year old post do u remember how the host was towards him ? I felt like the dude was being rude to him and kinda making him sound stupid/making his theory sound not serious.

[@joanpunkpianist]

Hi. Do you have a podcast? Link please 😘

[@jamesbarlow6423]

I got interested in this back in the '80s after reading in 1979 of Nietzsche's attempt at a physical explanation for his thought experiment of Eternal Recurrence in his posthumous notebooks republished in the 1967 Kaufmann translation of "Will to Power".

[@sammysam2615]

I accept and agree with the mathematical theory of the multiverse, my question is this; how would cosmologists, astronomers, and astrophysicist actually test and show proof of its existence?

[@brianlaroche8856]

No method exist to date

[@nimbette2]

Have to wait more time for better technology. This is like a slow plodding novel that goes on and on and we can’t seem to get to the end.

[@brianmartin6808]

They can't.

[@grandadmiralveer670]

I agree with this theory

[@mikeguliano3159]

It's highhhhly speculative. No evidence.

[@lucienberl]

To start of with a ball of light makes me think these people havent a fuxing clue what yhey r saying. Its all a theory and not a fact. They soind like they are completely brainwashed to me.

[@siwilson1437]

They simplified it for your fish brain, lushin burl. The temperature was so high not even light could travel through it. I suspect you think evolution is fake, too, and maybe that the earth is flat.

Brilliant discussion.
