Multiverse

Science fiction has brought many things to the human race. Imagination, scientific breakthroughs, and perhaps one of the most shocking scientific theories, the theory of multiple, or parallel, universes. According to science the universe came into being around 13.7 billion years ago after a catastrophic event called The Big Bang occurred, however throughout many years scientists have wondered whether our universe was the only one created.

Researchers in astronomy have proved that our universe did in fact have a beginning. The Big Bang Theory is a scientific theory that explains what might have happened at the very beginning of our universe and explains how it all started. This theory suggests that our universe began as hot, tiny particles mixed with light and lots of condensed energy. The focus of the Big Bang theory is to describe what happened within and after the moment our universe started to expand, but also to theorise what happened before that. To be perfectly clear, we cannot give a definite answer to this question. However, scientists have provided many theories to describe what happened before the Big Bang. Some of these theories are the Bouncing Universe theory, the Hibernating Universe theory and A Multiverse theory (dark energy).

Throughout, the book, The Accidental Universe, Alan Lightman the author of the book discusses a number of ideas ranging from, how the world came to be, to the multiverse, as well as other various ideas and his thoughts on them. Consistently throughout the book, Lightman was wishy-washy and it appeared he was trying to please both Atheists, as well as religious people. However, his key idea stays prevalent throughout the entirety of the book. The idea being that this universe came to fruition accidentally, out of nothing.

The concept is known as a "parallel universe," and is a facet of the astronomical theory of the multiverse. There actually is quite a bit of evidence out there for a multiverse. First, it is useful to understand how our universe is believed to have come to

Max’s beliefs cannot be valid in terms of defining the universe. If mathematics would be able to create patterns that can help to understand the universe it would have helped solve

“Can there really be a unified theory of everything?”, Stephen Hawking’s concern seems to be the most challenging question for scientists for years. The beauty of science underlies in its uncertainty - because we do not know anything for sure, we do more research to form a complete understanding of the universe we live in. The more we understand, the less we know. Science seeks to explain our physical and natural world through experimental and mathematical reasonings. That is the reason why science is so fascinating and this is where my academic interests lie.

and it is based on a stack of perfect fifths. (see figure 1) From this first try to understand the universe in terms of

Have you ever heard of the quote “for every problem there’s an infinite number of solutions"? Of course that makes sense because life's every day events can go in infinite amounts of directions. It all depends on your surrounding environment to be completely honest. There is no way to truly predict what happens if you yourself do something.

Over the ages there have been many struggles in the effort to describe the universe and its

"In the course of the past few decades, the Standard Model has passed critical tests derived from experiment, but it does not address some profound questions about the nature of the Universe," (AFP, 2015)

I have challenged the idea of alternate universes, or multiverses, co-existing among this universe; and that the dreams that we have are none other than the realities of our other selves in one of the multiverses. What if the alternative universes actually do exist? There are infinite possibilities of what I can be in just one other universe. I can be a daughter of the world famous inventor, a child prodigy, or even a homeless girl desperate to receive higher education. Although this is a fictional idea that is widely used in "Doctor Who", "The Flash", "Doctor Strange", and many more fictional TV shows and movies, I believe the multiverse theory can be proven with the right technology. Religiously and culturally, these multiverses can be portrayed

These growths stop expanding at different rates. Bubbles of space were at created all over the place at random because of quantum fluctuations. These bubbles would fall into the category of low energy state. The bubbles would eventually run into each other usually causing the universes into a lower vacuum energy. In this case because of the rapidly expanding universe the bubbles are growing into the spaces that are in between the bubbles.

A multiverse is the theory that there are more than one universe, in a bigger, “multiverse.” There are three different theories for how a multiverse could exist. There is the theory of inflation, theory of dark energy, and the theory of strings. Each has its flaws and holes, but all point to the existence of a multiverse. Not satisfied with this idea? Let me

The argument suggesting life existing on other Earth-like planets has been present since man first looked into space and questioned his own existence and the existence of others like him. Today there are many theories on the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but only one theory goes beyond them and into an even larger realm. The contents of this theory, known as the “multiverse” theory, suggest that humans on Earth live within one universe of many others that reside within a primordial vacuum containing many other universes (Jenkins and Perez). Each of these universes possesses potentially different natural constants and physical laws that govern them differently, thus calling forth some logical questions. First,

Beneath their feet, the ground shook with force of thunder. The huge lumbering beasts of Earth panicked, for they knew nothing of space, asteroids, or their impending extinction. From the fiery chaos, a new age would be birthed. It would be known as the age of humankind.
