Do you believe in the multiverse?

Probably. There is some photographic evidence that supports it. I can't imagine this is the only universe. I'm kind of partial to the bubble multiverse.

Bubble Universes

In addition to the multiple universes created by infinitely extending space-time, other universes could arise from a theory called "eternal inflation." Inflation is the notion that the universe expanded rapidly after the Big Bang, in effect inflating like a balloon. Eternal inflation, first proposed by Tufts University cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin, suggests that some pockets of space stop inflating, while other regions continue to inflate, thus giving rise to many isolated "bubble universes."

Thus, our own universe, where inflation has ended, allowing stars and galaxies to form, is but a small bubble in a vast sea of space, some of which is still inflating, that contains many other bubbles like ours. And in some of these bubble universes, the laws of physics and fundamental constants might be different than in ours, making some universes strange places indeed.

It's pretty mind boggling, isn't it?

Can we get a universe created where the Chiefs win another Super Bowl and the Broncos go 0-16 every year?

I was just about to say, maybe the universe is round like the earth and we haven't made it all the way around yet.....

Oh and to continue being devils advocate (although I'm being dismissed). If the answer is just because I believe it; to both the religion and the universe, maybe natural sciences formed from nothing without design and by accident is just as hard to comprehend as a little invisible guy in the sky.


Perhaps, the eternal universe is the eternal being, both "super natural" and "natural science" joined together and explained by two opposite sides of our human comprehension.

It's really hard to fathom something that has no end. That's why I think the universe is inside something else. Which is inside something else , which is inside something else.

Why? Its a flaw of the human mind that makes us think there has to be patterns and beginnings and ends. This is the way things work on earth. It doesn't mean its that way everywhere.

I think its all tied to what I was saying about there really being no such thing as big or small.
Only bigger or smaller.
The entire universe really isn't big if there is mega multiverse that could be in a cluster of MMVs.
In a different number of levels of dimensions.
With every point and in the universe being connected
And the the theory that the total number of minds in the universe being one-Erwin Shrodenger.
THE greatest minds ever Tesla and Einstein, both knew that there is.......something..something conscious, something niether big or tiny in the sky, but omnipresent, and a part of us all.
ALL of this is here for whatever we are or it is to exist on a phsical plane IMO. For what I don't know.
But like you said. It is absolutely no more far fetched than to think that somebody wrecked a truck full of paint and left Il Giudizio Universale on the pavement...no way.

The Kansas legislation does not approve this.

Yet we know so little about the deepest depths of our oceans.

Not really a fan of Richard Dawkins or his posse.
