Are We Living in a Multiverse?

Are we living in a multiverse? If so, where are all the other universes? Scientists and philosophers have pondered these questions for centuries, as they contemplated the possibility of parallel universes. The multiverse theory is not often discussed by cosmologists, due to its speculative and untestable nature. However, there are a myriad of different interpretations depicting how a multiverse might manifest, some of which we may be detectable within our own universe. So buckle up, because in this video we will be leaving the galaxy entirely, as we take on the biggest question of them all- the question of whether our universe is the only one.

While I enjoy all of your work, it's your vids on the "macro" questions that truly fascinate me the most, this one will be another for the "infinite replay" list to be sure. Thanks so much for all of your hard work and great content, your efforts are quite literally astronomical!

[@Gilsworth]

@@iamjohnrobotThe practical application of these theories don't matter. Why do we seek knowledge in the first place? We are curious creatures capable of dreaming up wild and impossible things. How many people do you think must have dreamed of flying in human history? Something so casual these days that we take it for granted, and I'm not just talking about airplanes, but wingsuits, jets, spacecrafts... How many people in human history have looked up at the moon as this impossibly far object? A place where humans have physically gone. We have sent a device beyond the solar system, our tendrils lengthen. Why shouldn't we dream of impossible things and see if there's any way it holds water, because on the journey you may just find better ideas - through exploring the limitations of imagination. Science is the pursuit of knowledge, the foundational truths to our existence are so mysterious and unknowable that we have no choice BUT to dream up imaginative possibilities. Where is your sense of romance?

[@gregergreg]

My own completely unscientific opinion is the level 2 black hole birthing universes theory makes the most sense. Like zooming in on a fractal image that goes on infinitely, each universe births an infinite number of other universes, and each of those birth an infinite number of universes, and on and on. Mathematically we have the unobserved white hole, and while they should be as common as black holes, maybe they are but we just can't see the other side of the Penrose diagram except for our own big bang. I know it seems too "neat" but something about it just makes perfect sense to me.

[@deathcrush9184]

[@reabsorb6775]

thanks for commenting this. this is a beautiful observation and i would even subscribe to this idea personally , love this thought :)

[@thetobi583]

sometimes, it's the things that just "make sense" that actually explain things. I tend to see things outside the box as is thanks to Autism Operating System, and this theory has made sense to me since i first heard it a few years ago.

[@TabuKat]

Today I learned my pet/totally unscientific theory of the origin of the universe has names - Cosmological natural selection/Fecund Universes. I remember learning science in school in the early 90s & they would talk about the potential of white holes. Like you say, it just makes logical sense, not in a reproductive/life way but in the way that - this compressed matter has to go somewhere. the Big Bang was an explosion of compressed matter... Two situations that need an answer that fit each other.

I haven't watched Multiverse yet but my man SEA always knocks Cosmos content straight out the park! His tour of Triangulum and Andromeda galaxies are priceless gifts to KZbin that have no parallel on the Channel by any Creator! That is what makes this channel so special he covers the Space topics that get the views and likes by casuals and hard core Space tubers , but he's also not afraid to take a risk and do a full length Triangulum galaxy video that might not be as attractive as a video on the largest Stars , Super Massive Black holes or Super Voids. I'm gonna shut up and watch this video now , but I just wanted to show some love first, I'm not rich but I try to leave a tip when I can cause his channel has help turn a Curiosity into an Obsession to learn as much as I possibly can about the Cosmos!

I’ve been scared of dying lately. And the idea that the universe is at least unimaginably large, perhaps even infinite kind of helps my fears. Because even after I die here there’s a chance I exist somewhere else right now, in the past, and/or in the future. So, I look forward to seeing you guys there/then.

[@reabsorb6775]

interesting .. so are you implying that you will experience and continue to exist in life after death through these infinite other versions of you? or are you saying that the idea of there being infinite "you's" brings you satisfaction even if you won't be there to experience their lives?

I am a competitive Scrabble player and the word "me" takes an S plural. "MES" is a word. That is due to multiverse theory. However, another "version" of you is just a copy and it is not "you" in the absolute sense so when you die you will be totally gone.

My guess is that there are around 7 universes out there. At least that’s what it looks like from my balcony at night.

[@avengersendgame9706]

According to me either there is only 1 or infinite universe.

[@summerrr1]

[@Vicol-247]

Only 7 huh. You're lucky I can only see 6

[@EBeggsKOK]

Nah… it’s only one. But here’s the biggest question; WHAT does our universe, or multiverses (if one believes there are many) reside WITHIN? Everything is typically contained within something (earth is contained within the solar system, the solar system within the Milky Way, the Milky Way within galaxy clusters, galaxy clusters within dark matter, dark matter within the universe, etc)… but what is the universe contained within? It started somewhere but when it started what was that point of origin contained within? This is the one question that absolutely bothers me to no end and keeps me awake at night. I can deal with tornadoes, white shark attacks, bears breaking into my home for pop tarts left out on the kitchen table by my 8 year old nephew when they sleep over… but I can NOT deal with the fact we are all just floating along in a rapidly expanding universe that ends nowhere… where does space begin / end? If you think this through, it will keep you up too. 😅

30:10 what if the multiverse isn’t even ruled by *that*? Maybe ‘illogical’ concepts that seem contradictory to us are just incompatible with our local logical system. Maybe there are entire separate multiverses where 2 + 2 = 5 and that actually makes sense to the people living there.

I personally like Lee Smolin’s take on the multiverse. The idea is really elegant to me. Black holes birth new universes, and the universes that are better at forming black holes (and stars, matter, life etc) are naturally selected for. It does explain why the constants of the universe are “just right” for the formation of life.

SEA videos are so good I save them for the weekend. I think that if there is a creator then the most efficient theory is the correct one. The problem with a lot of the theories right now is they have gaping holes in their logic or some things that are required are physically impossible at least with what we know right now. I personally think it's likely that other universes exist but I would rather wait until some holes are patched to presume which one is correct. Amazing video seriously ❤️
