You may ask "Which Universe Am I In?"

Which Universe Am I In?"​

I've read some of your posts. Pretty sure you're in the Twilight Zone...

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

In the context of the thread?
Most anything than this inanity "He's correct, since universe literally means everything that exists, no matter what form that takes."

the quality of being extremely silly or having no real meaning or importance, or something that is extremely silly like this: I was amazed at the inanity of her comments. His speech was full of inanities that were meant to be funny. See. inane.

Yes I agree it is inane, but it is true, that is what "universe" means. The invented word "multiverse" is pop-science, not science, a better term would perhaps have been "multicosmos".

Redefining "universe" in such a way that one can have multiple instances of everything that exists is to abandon logic and rationality, its a nomenclature destined to lead to meaningless conclusions.

"invented word?"

and as for the rest of your post, do you actually listen to yourself?

"Multiverse" is a scientific theory. Making up (inventing ..) the term "multicosmos" to suggest some inane thought that popped into your head is weird.

No has redefined the term "universe" but you.

No it isn't a theory, no matter what term you choose to label it with it is not a theory because it cannot be falsified.
What these pop-science writers term "multiverse" is an interpretation of quantum physics, one of several.

There's only one universe.

How can it be falsified then?

You posted that the multiverse is not scientific theory.

why would anyone bother with taking you seriously?

How can it be falsified then?

Good question. Many scientists argue this is philosophy, not science, for that very reason.

But we may find a way to test for existence of other universes.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

According to e=mc^2 it would take the energy of 2 billion of our universes to produce it.

But the net energy of our universe may be (and looks as if it probably is) zero. So what you are saying may be nonsensical.

If they understand physics they'll understand the importance of falsification, one cannot even legitimately call an explanation a "theory" UNLESS one can develop experiments to falsify it, if it isn't falsifiable it isn't a theory - ask any scientist.

What world are you living in?

In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other.

What is multiverse theory?​

Why don't you say what EXACTLY it is you disagree with rather than rely on inuendo? Speak plainly man.

So? take a look at what Roger Penrose says about string theory you ill mannered dingbat:



You'll understand physics much better once you understand what Penrose is talking about.

Unlike you, he's not saying it is not a scientific theory.

I've seen this video.
and?

The problem is you are unable to distinguish between theories. Positing a theory is one thing. Proving a theory is another.


noun: theory; plural noun: theories

1. a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

Penrose knows that it currently makes testable predictions (not falsifiable) and therefore it isn't a theory.

Stick with pop shit:

Roger Penrose Says Physics Is Wrong, From String Theory to Quantum Mechanics​

One of the greatest thinkers in physics says the human brain — and the universe itself — must function according to some theory we haven't yet discovered.​

If string theory was wrong, how would you find out? what tests can people do to find out?

None, that's why he takes the view he does and he's not alone.

Good lord man, not having a theory is not the same situation as having one that can't be tested.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

He has his opinions. Others many others have theirs. You insist his is the last word.

"Because he has lived a lifetime of complicated calculations, though, Penrose has quite a bit more perspective than the average starting scientist. To get to the bottom of it all, he insists, physicists must force themselves to grapple with the greatest riddle of them all: the relationship between the rules that govern fundamental particles and the rules that govern the big things—like us—that those particles make up. In his powwow with Discover contributing editor Susan Kruglinksi, Penrose did not flinch from questioning the central tenets of modern physics, including string theory and quantum mechanics. Physicists will never come to grips with the grand theories of the universe, Penrose holds, until they see past the blinding distractions of today’s half-baked theories to the deepest layer of the reality in which we live."
