The Multiverse Theory

With all our knowledge of everything around us, overwhelming as it may be, there are still a lot of aspects that are unknown to even the smartest scientists. Did you know that humans know only 5% of the entire universe? Yes, everything we know about the Earth, the Milky Way, and all the planets is barely even a fourth of what comprises the entirety of the universe. Knowing that, it would be illogical to say that the creatures on Earth are the only forms of life in the universe. Today I will tell you about unidentified object sightings, close

Does life exist on other planets besides Earth? Has extraterrestrial life visited Earth recently or in our distant past? The notion of extraterrestrial life is a very intriguing subject possibly for as long as mankind has looked into the vast heavens gazing at the stars. Can one say that life on Earth was done by Mother Nature which some call evolution? Is life on Earth the result of creation or alteration by a higher power or being? Some people do believe that other forms of life except those on Earth do exist. Others consider it false because there is no absolute proof beyond doubts. There have been countless occurrences by individuals around the world of either being contacted or abducted by alien life forms. Many unofficial accounts describe the Earth as being visited by one or more alien species. These various alien species that possibly visited Earth may be interested in observing the development of the human species.

Throughout history humanity has been fascinated by the existence of extraterrestrial life. Today such ventures are in the development process and the discovery of life beyond our solar system, no matter how primitive, may soon become a huge(important?) scientific breakthrough. The three basic things that are required to consider a place even remotely habitable are water, a source of energy, and organic materials. Habitability also depends on other factors that must also be taken into consideration such as how close the planet is to its star (in the case of our solar system, the sun), how long the water and organic materials existed there, and the size and mass of the planet. One must not confuse habitable with inhabited. The term

Most astronomers and scientists seem firmly convinced of this fact. Although there is not any direct (or even indirect) evidence to support these claims that other sentient life is sharing the universe with us. However, this lack of evidence showing that extraterrestrial life forms exist is not proof that they do not exist. It just does not seem logical that our planet is the only place where life and intelligence could have developed. The odds are billions against life of some form being unique to the Earth only. The Earth is unimportant in the grand scale of things in the galaxy. By this I am referring to its' size and position in the universe. In fact, the American Association for the Advancement of Science suggests that the true question that we should be

Prof. Lee Cronin is trying to create evolving inorganic matter. Attempting to create life from non-living matter is extremely out of reach. Life is a miracle with every birth across the globe. We, as humans, will never know everything in the universe; yet, this fact does not stop us from learning everything we can. Basing anything on a theory has the possibility of being disproven with new information acquired each day.

The universe is too massive to describe in words, and is always expanding, mars could have once held life, and NASA has already discovered other habitable planets. There is no reason to scoff at the notion of alien life, the facts are too numerous, but we always need more. More discoveries and theories to keep the dream alive, that's why people should be more invested in space exploration, problems we have on this planet could have solutions on others. The universe could hold answers to questions we haven't asked, and to those queries we have, it's just a matter of whether or not we’re ready for

One of the major ramifications debunking the multiverse theory is that it is a radical metaphysical conjecture. It is said this universe has only the right amount of everything to support life. You have probably heard "if there are an infinite number of monkeys typing on infinite number of typewriters, they will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare". This refers to

Should we as humans expect to find intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe? There are many reasons for and against this concept, but first we should trace just how our terrestrial life started.

The idea of extraterrestrials existing and having visited Earth is a long shot, which made scientist Enrico Fermi question their existence, and that is how the Fermi Paradox was created. Enrico Fermi questioned the idea that since the Universe is billions of years old and billions of light years in diameter, extraterrestrials must exist somewhere and have visited Earth. Scientifically, there isn’t enough evidence to prove that extraterrestrials exist or have existed throughout our universe, but this hasn’t stopped millions or even billions of human beings from believing in them. There are countless of possible solutions to the Fermi Paradox, but all are hypothetical. The first possible and most popular solution to the Fermi Paradox is that

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

Crash! You destroy a SUV with your huge legs. You are an elephant, and to other elephants this is normal. Now you are a pterodactyl. You swoop to the ground to snuff a tinier dinosaur from the ground. Since in this universe that you live in never got hit by the asteroid, you continue to exist and feed off of weak prey. This is the dream of a multiverse.

Many astronomers say that there are more worlds with humans like us, scientists have found bacteria in space, which gives us more clues, but what’s out there? A lot of objects are in space, planets, asteroids, stars, moons, and probably undiscovered planets. Most people think that there is life on planets. But through all the experience Nasa has, there is no life on the planets they’ve seen so far.

The multiverse (or meta-universe, metaverse) is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes (including the historical universe we consistently experience) that together comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them. The term was coined in 1895 by the American

Though existence of multiverse has not been proven to be a fact as of yet, the primary concern regarding the validity of multiverse theory is the fact that the existence of multiverse is not observable nor scientifically testable. Science is based on validity, reproducibility and the pursuit of truth. However, how does one prove the existence of something, if it is purported to exist outside of our visual horizon? Unlike distant stars, we have yet to see light, emitted from a parallel universe through a telescope. So, the argument against multiverse theory is that it is a belief, rather than a proven scientific fact and it is hypothetical in nature. And prioritizing hypothesis over observational confirmations is a mistake that scientists are not afforded to make. George Ellis4, Professor of mathematics from University of Cape Town supports this view by suggesting that even if there were infinite number of universes, infinite is a mathematical entity rather than a physical one and therefore, we could not count the infinite galaxies in a finite time and thus, it is impossible to prove the existence of infinite universes through mathematical tests and observations. And if it cannot be tested, why should it be any more scientifically valid than metaphysics or astrology?

Many people who live on Earth are close minded to what is really out there in the universe. They cannot even begin to fathom the vastness of it and how Earth is just a tiny little speck compared to everything else out there. From the planets to the stars and out towards the edge of the unknown, we can only see what science provides us with. From this, we know that we are nothing but a tiny planet located in a solar system of millions in a galaxy of many more in the universe.
