Wow, This Experiment May Prove If Multiverse Is Actually Real

[@throwabrick]

CORRECTION: Roger Penrose doesn't think Hawking Points are "interactions with other universes", he thinks they are the remnants of supermassive black hole evaporation from a "previous aeon", before the Big Bang.

[@nexusdrop7863]

I've heard it suggested those sites were when another 'universe' bumped next to ours, in the sense of bubbles on the water. I have not heard, until you, they were evaporated black holes. Personally I am going to go with aliens. Super civilizations or whatever.

[@StridersBored]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@nexusdrop7863throw a brick is correct. The hawking points are said to be remnants. Looking at how long it’ll take a black hole to evaporate from hawking radiation I could believe in them having an effect in the next aeon

This is correct! I knew something was off when he said that, thanks!

[@S-L-J]

My understandings concerning this topic are very much limited, yet as far as I comprehended, the multiverse idea comes largely from mathematical calculations of superstring theory. Now, Penrose along with many other theoretical and practical physicists reject that notion and string theory. The first ones because of the mathematical approach within the theory itself and the latter ones (like Sabine H.) because of the fact that this idea is not properly testable. So, my question is (if someone could clarify) what bares more probable truth? (If I may formulate it so) Thanks 😊

[@roelwijgers]

Thanks Anton! Really great to hear about this experiment. Regarding the interpretation, my guess is that Penrose regards another interpretation as more likely. The Hawking points could also be seen as evidence for a cyclic universe with a gravitational effect from a previous eon. The idea is that each eon ends when there is no matter left, everything is radiation. Then there is no relevant time and space (only photons). In my imagination this has always been a gigantic Bose Einstein condensate. For this explanation you don’t need to assume inflation, which seems quite random anyway. “Give me one miracle and I can explain everything”

I'm no physicist, but I think the strange circles in the CMB are caused by sort of "ripples" in the super early universe. I hear the reason the CMB has areas of different amounts of energy is for that reason. Slight differences in regions of the early universe were magnified when the universe expanded. Edit: What's special about these circles is that they can not be very well explained by random ripples, and it could be something even deeper. Thanks replies!

[@mike_o7874]

The reason why those ripples interesting here, is because you can predict the distribution of matter in CMB. And the patches they refer to are very very unlikely (if the distribution is correct), even after expanding. But it always can be pure chance. But for the same reason it can be anything else as well. And this theory is cool, and people are trying to prove/disprove it using experiments. So why not? I mean you can always explain everything by pure chance, but the question is whether there is a deeper reason.

[@mike_o7874]

@@silviavalentine3812why is that theory wanly and weird? I mean there is no single hypothesis that explains the Big Bang. So far it just happened, and this explanation theory also tackles this up.

It would be interesting if we could somehow look way down into the subatomic world and discover that there are other universes down there.

Hi Anton. Hello from Canada! I'm glad that these ideas are receiving such attention and scrutiny. The only other time I recall hearing that there might be observable proof of the multiverse was that of the Great Attractor. The argument being that perhaps what is observed may be the result of influence from a alternate reality/universe containing enough mass to produce the behavior observed in our universe. I believe that this hypothesis came out of the idea of closely neighboring universes and that their "membranes or just 'branes" if they exist, their contact or even nearness, should result in measurable manifestations of their interactions... like The Great Attractor, which as far as I know, still lacks a satisfactory explanation for its massive influence over so much of that region of space. Am I way off base or are such theories still being considered by investigators of the "Many Worlds/Multiverse/Parallel Reality" constructs? Regardless, please keep sharing your knowledge in the skillful way that you do. It is a gift to be able to disseminate such a variety of concepts and discoveries in a manner that is both understandable and entertaining. (I do miss the demos and experiments with Universe Sandbox back when What Da Math was my intro to your channel).

[@chilkootsailor492]

I'm far from a physicist. I haven't even taken a physics course. But is it really that far off to say that the great attractor could just be a massive galaxy cluster? We just can't see it through our own milky way. What says that it's not a galaxy cluster? It would be both fascinating and frustrating to find out that its not, because we aren't really at a state where we can just put a periscope up above the dust lanes of the milky way and peer out towards the great attractor.

I have "always" wondered if our universe is a little empty spot in an infinitely dense infinite mass of energy, especially after the "news" that it's expanding. It's even more fun to imagine an infinite number of such "bubbles," with ours just now beginning to merge with another one. Years ago, so long ago that I can't possibly find it, Scientific American printed a couple of paragraphs where some guy named Gott proposed something like this, except for the "merging" part. I don't remember exactly, but it was like he said the "outside" was like the opposite of a black hole. It's fun to imagine that ours and another one overlapped long ago at one "point" and suddenly the light gets here and we see a formerly hidden mass of stuff in another universe across the former edge, all of it in one direction. One person when I mentioned this said, "How do you know we don't see something like that?" I had to guess that atoms would be bigger or something like that.

[@tuxuhds6955]

"There can be only one!" Roger & Sabine. Seriously now,I believe you've got it wrong, Anton. @whatdamath I've seen Roger Penrose with Sabine Hossenfelder, tell Michio Kaku in a convention, that there's absolutely no reason to believe that there's any parallel universe. Penrose, however did provoke with the theory of cyclic universe and that gravity leaks into our existence from a more basic existence. This existence is not parallel but rather coexisting with our universe in a manner beyond our comprehension and perception. The evidence lead me to a personal belief that volume(and therefore spacetime) is native to our universe while it does not exist in that more basal universe, from which gravity is supposedly leaking into our own. I think that a better grasp of these mechanics might enable a better general, dare I say unified, model of physics that would free us from the need for dark matter, dark energy or any other dark pacts. :)

@2:00 It's not merely extremely challenging, it's impossible - MWI is equivalent to the assertion that QM's state + propagation is a correct and complete description of reality with no additions whatsoever including the Born rule representing a distinct thing that happens rather than just being a pattern in the way things happen under those rules. You can't prove the negative that there isn't something else like a worldline from Bohm's theory. You can't prove that the world isn't just a set of relations between states without actually having state (yet somehow supporting subjective viewpoints). The best you could do is show that specific models of collapse other than QM state + propagation are not real, but people rarely if ever propose such mechanisms and it seems like barely anyone takes seriously the possibility that there is such a mechanism. The only way MWI would be provable is if QM is *approximately* correct, such that 1 - QM is sufficiently preserved that MWI is still recognizably the same thing, 2 - we can interact with the other worlds distinctly enough for that interaction to definitely be with another world AND 3 - this interaction is somehow highly distinct from the normal flow of QM state + propagation structure. This conjunction seems unlikely. 'Neighboring inflation bubbles' is a much, much more probe-able multiverse mechanism. Very nifty, even if your point that interpreting the results it is going to be really hard is absolutely correct.

But the other scenario, our universe bleeding out into the space between other universes, I feel like that would be something along the lines of how we are currently merging with Andromeda, we are so unaffected that if we weren’t aware of it through our studies and observations, we wouldn’t ever really realize anything until…well, I guess it would begin to look pretty wild compared to what is normal for us.

Anton, your comment about the silly idea of cosmic inflation: "it's the only way to explain the smoothness of the CMB", flies in the face of a much better alternative: Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC). Please look at him in one of his many lectures where he exposes the fallacies of cosmic inflation which not only requires yet another particle, the "inflaton", but doesn't even solve the smoothness problem it pretends to do! Incidentally, the name "Hawking points" was coined by Penrose as coming from the previous universe, before our Big Bang, from the final "evaporation pop" (not the correct term) of supermassive black holes, a consequence of Hawking's radiation. The whole idea of a multiverse is rooted on the stubbornness of believing that the constants in nature are random, and we simply "lucked out" in getting those that form matter, allow it to become diverse such that it produces life, and lets it evolve until a human being, capable of being conscious that he is conscious, appears. With a straight face they claim that it's all a product of chance, and therefore all (or at least some) other possibilities must exist somewhere. Penrose doesn't go far enough, after all he is a staunchest reductionist, but it should be obvious that a sequence of consecutive universes is required if one believes in endless evolution. It is by such evolution that the constants of nature are what they are in the current universe. But that would require scientists to believe in meaning, i.e., that existence in our reality has a purpose, not only for humanity but for the universe as a whole. And that such purpose may only be achieved over multiple aeons (the word Penrose uses) of evolution. Alas, reductionist physics does not believe in meaning, just random chance. Paradoxically, it wants to discover the "God equation", as colloquially calls it Michio Kaku, that will do away with unpredictability. On one hand it's all a chance, on the other it's all predictable.

I never understood why we don't say 'when we measure quantum effects we OBSERVE a collapse into probability' instead the repeated phrase is 'when quantum effects are measured they collapse into probability' and this often implies the observer is 'creating the other worlds by the act of measuring'. When a tree falls in the woods it doesn't make a sound because it is heard by an observer. Even with no observer it displaces particles in the atmosphere vibrating and slightly affecting the microcosm around it. The sound is just how the observer interprets the effect through a tool (ears).

You're a little late, I made one of them beauties about a decade ago. That's the thing with batteries, they are easy to understand, and make as well. Why did you ask? Did you make one too?

[@JM-nm3bg]

I made a mini verse battery as well, but one day it stopped working, I can’t explain why as it SHOULD last theoretically forever. After that I gave up on the idea, it’s just sitting there collecting dust in my garage. The funniest part was when someone I work with asked why I didn’t go into the miniverse to figure out the cause of the problem 😂, Yeah let me just get my magical shrink ray and a tiny spaceship to search a near infinite miniverse for the one planet that produces the electricity 🤣🤣🤣

Yes but not regarding the multivverse nonsense

[@Auroral_Anomaly]

‘Parallel universe’ is really just a way of saying that there are other outcomes that were equally plausible.

[@jonmichaelgalindo]

"Our math describing a multiverse looks a lot like the math describing condensates. So, if condensates look like the CMB, then whatever made this universe might be a lot like our multiverse math." But if it fails, the multiverse nonsense will continue just as rigorously untestable as ever, and if it succeeds, there will be no reason but analogously similar systems to believe it.

[@samanthaqiu3416]

the multiverse is real regardless of any experiment, the reason being that we know this universe exists and is real. If something is possible it will occur uncountably many times, because there is no reason for there to be a limit in the number of occurrences of possible things

[@peppermintgal4302]

Do you genuinely believe you can possibly rule out the concept of "a greater, undiscovered context to all known things"? Of course that general concept contains infinite untestable hypotheses. Science is about working with testable ones, and we just foubd a testable multiverse theory, so we're testing it. The point isn't to rule out the concept of multiverses in general, thats impossible and pointless --- the point is to see if this particular one has utility. Those other hypothesis, sure, can't be ruled out if we happen to rule this one out, but they are just idle speculation with no utility so far anyways, and so long as those who speculate about it know that... then what's the problem, exactly? Seems you just have a chip on your shoulder about the idea.

[@peppermintgal4302]

​@@samanthaqiu3416 Its feasible that an event can somehow prevent itself from happening a second time ever again --- though I will grant its unlikely to apply to even one singular, solitary phenomenon. Its just one infinite set of possibility among infinite sets of possibilities with no utility or testability. Just like what I said to OP --- you can't rule out the possibility of "a greater context to everything we know to exist." You can similarly never rule out the possibility you've discovered the "largest context." So what we do is simply be ready to step through any door that appears before us that increases the scope of reality if and when it appears. You might be right that we can nebulously guess that the chance of there being a greater context is always greated than the chance there isn't based on some philosophical heuristic, but thats beyond me lol I guess what I'm saying is, never hang your hat on a theory until you know it has utility. Here we have an experiment that might show some utility to one of the possinle multiverse theories, and thats exciting, but just as you should always be prepared for a door, you should also always be prepared for a wall.

[@professordey]

This is certainly an interesting topic and I remember it being covered before elsewhere but with a slightly different extrapolation that given the energy level of the universe and how the drop to that energy state is consistant across all space even as all space expands, it's possible that two universes that spawned next to each other but didn't touch and merge would never actually be able to interact due to the distance between them widening faster than they do. It'll be interesting to see what exactly they can determine from all this certainly.

[@billmilosz]

I think that there are at least two timelike dimensions, and phenomena moving along timelines at any angle to ours are not visible to us, though I think gravity works across all time angles; so, for example, matter occupying a timeline at an angle that differs from ours could still interact gravitationally with matter on our timeline: dark matter. Other implications: If there are more than one timelike dimensions then entropy becomes a vector rather than scalar quantity.

[@goodfodder]

I’m of the opinion time is only our description of state, i.e there is no time dimension

[@jonKowalski3210]

Did you think of this idea yourself? Because this is an incredibly clever explanation for dark matter and I haven't heard of anything like this anywhere else.

[@billmilosz]

@@jonKowalski3210 I believe that this is my original thinking, yes - although there are other people who have explored paradigms where there are more dimensions of time, but I haven't seen any similar descriptions of dark matter that fit into the concepts. I have heard of notions where "dark matter is in another dimension but it's gravity leaks through to our dimension" - I have just specified that "other dimension" as a spacetime at another time-angle. So my thinking is not entirely original.

[@scorch855]

The proposed experiments are really cool, both figuratively and literally!

[@tatyanapizzimenti7899]

Well, our universe might also be just a result of someone's creational experiment, just like this one , and we would have the perfect link between science and God. Somewhat cool😁

[@WeAreTheDraiken]

That would mean that there are possibly infinite universes up and infinite down. Potentially a Universe is creates by a specific type of quantum fluctuation which can happen naturally or if an intelligent species causes it.

[@anatolydyatlov963]

​@@WeAreTheDraiken Yes, and since the OP mentioned god, that would create an interesting conundrum. Let's assume these fluctuations are commonplace, and numerous new universes germinate continuously. In this scenario, the likelihood of any particular universe being intentionally crafted by an intelligent species is minuscule. However, this probability increases the further one ascends in the hierarchy. So the question is: if we must pass trillions upon trillions of parent universes before reaching one devised by an intelligent form, could we still label this entity as a "god"? Or would the use of that term be misplaced, especially since the parents of the universe of this entity would follow the same pattern?

[@Fclwilson]

Thanks for your science education. This topic is intriguing.

[@friedmule5403]

The most fascinating is that what we know now is light-years ahead of when the scientists said that we knew about everything that was to know, and in about 6 months would we know it all. And still do I think we are cavemen, trying to understand the universe, compared to what is really going on. In 10,000 years will we look back and say: "imagine, they believed that" :-)

[@aquariumnite]

Science is iterative, there's always more to learn and models to improve.

The multiverse is not determinable because of the First Law of Thermodynamics. The only way to determine the existence of anything is to detect energy, either generated or reflected, from the thing. The First Law of Thermodynamics prevents energy from moving from one universe to another universe.

[@miisf1t546]

Laws of physics also states that nothing can move faster than the speed of light. Nothing except the fabric of space time. And then we discovered warp bubbles. Confirmed their existence and drew up theoretical warp drives for possibilities of future man. If there is even a small chance of a work around, humans will find it.

[@MrRolnicek]

Correction: Penrose does not believe these artefacts in the CMB are evidence of a sibling universe interacting with ours at the conception. He has proposed a cyclical type of cosmology which is very fascinating but I won't go into it here. This hypothesis actually predicted these artefacts would exist and they would be left by the last black holes evaporating from the ending of the previous epoch of this universe before the big bang.
