SELFPROOF 0203 - MULTIVERSE
CURRENT COSMOLOGY MODEL
The
multiverse is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes
(including the historical universe we consistently experience) that
together comprise everything that exists and can exist: the entirety
of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and
constants that describe them. The various universes within the
multiverse are sometimes called parallel universes. (Wikipedia 26 Mar
2012)
MALTA COSMOLOGY TEMPLATE
- There is no multiverse.
- The Universe is a gravitationally bound sphere of teels that evolves as it expands within an area of space.
- The area of space is the "uberuniverse". (see Argument 0211)
- The uberuniverse may or may not be infinite.
- The uberuniverse may or may not contain objects other than this universe.
- The sphere of teels that is the Universe is subject to laws that are currently empirically testable.
- There may be other universes in the uberuniverse beside this one.
- If so there is currently no good reason to suppose they are markedly different to this one.
- Logic suggests they will be made of teels and subject to the same laws of physics.
- They may not look exactly like this universe - in the same way that every galaxy is unique in at least some way.
- Nevertheless each will be fundamentally the same - in the same way that every galaxy is fundamentally the same.
COMMENTARY
As
a general rule, if a range of solutions can be presented to
resolve a problem, the simplest tends to be the most practical. In
this instance, the uberuniverse solution presented by the Malta
Cosmology Template is a simple extrapolation out of the Universe we
already know and are coming to understand. In contrast, the multiverse
solution presented by the Current Cosmology Model requires physics
that are unproven and which are unlikely to be able to be proven
conclusively in the foreseeable future.
It doesn't help that in
the Current Cosmology Model there is no single generally accepted
multiverse solution. Variations on the theme are plentiful with
all being hobbled to a greater or lesser degree by the belief that
the Universe is a closed cycle. Thus the other universes are not
outside this one in the way that Birmingham is outside London or Boston
is outside New York. The difference between the many ideas lies
principally in the ingenuity with which multiple universes are place
within the confines of just one. Among the many variations currently in
play are the open multiverse, the bubble theory, the ultimate ensemble
theory, the quantum MWI, and M theory.
