Why Some Scientists Embrace the 'Multiverse

Exactly. You are unable to think outside the box. When talking about the cosmos that is the only way progress in understanding is made. To reject 'intelligent design' is a sign that you are not up to the challenge of understanding the mysteries of the universe.

Instead you are fixated on chicken entrails. LOL pie.

You didn't mention your field of consultation.

 

Susskind... he has an fascinating lecture about the possibility our existence is like a hologram.


this is a shorter q&A on the subject.

I would not be surprised if we are the part of the projection (or part of the light) of a thought that caused the big bang.

 

I think some of what he talks about will eventually be disproven but this is an excellent example of the need for theoretical physicists and other cutting edge scientists to be able to think outside the box. Without such thinking, human understanding of the universe and even the innerverse (as I like to call it) will be stymied.

 

You've hit on a key point here. I am a prisoner of my education and that undoubtedly has put me in a sort of figurative box. So, given the choice between I don't know, and a Creator did it (or it's Christian, right-wing equivalent "Intelligent Design," I reject the latter as having no evidence to support it, and prefer to stick with "I don't know."

 

Let me know when man is able to create a living creature out of the firmament and then maybe I will believe your version. Until then I'll trust what evidence I and others have seen, since the other side has none.

 

So what are the sides, modern science or ancient mythology?

 

On the upside, modern science, thinking outside the box.
On the downside, creationism/intelligent design and other similar piffle, mindlessly throwing the whole f'kn box away.


"Firmament".....Lol

 

"Firmament" Your thinking box was built by Moses and later given an addition by a rogue carpenter and his apprentices.

Thank you for clarifying the evidence you have "seen".

 

that is the point I have been making...

there is scientific evidence to support a Tuner.
you are just keeping yourself ignorant of the science.

The real statement is...

While there is evidence of a Tuner I choose to have faith that it will be explained away such as if we find evidence there are almost infinite other universes.




“If there is only one universe,” British cosmologist Bernard Carr says, “you might have to have a fine-tuner. If you don’t want God, you’d better have a multiverse.” (Discover, December 2008)

 

Don't know is an honest answer.

A tuner ? Sure why not. Scientifically known as Gravity.
Also scientifically, it's math and physics that indicate multiverse, not faith.

Tuner/Creator/God - nothing more than blind faith, and of course, a singular failure in human reasoning.
