Is there just one universe..?

Question

Or was that just like the dumbest question ever..

Sorry for my unanswerable question but I was just wondering what some of you "highly educated people" thought.

Answer 1

No. There are multiple universes on various planes of existance. I personally like the blue one to the left. :)

Answer 2

Actually, according to many in the field of physics, there are INFINATE parallel universes. That's right...although Einstein fervently believed that "God does not roll dice," most physicists are belwidered by the fact that electrons seemingly blink in and out of existance! The only plausible explanation? That the electron is disappearing and reappearing in seperate planes of existance...it's a difficult concept to understand, but it's a typical consensus to those physicists who support string theory. So, your question DOES have an answer...whether or not you choose to believe in it is your choice. If the flame of curiosity has been kindled in you, do some more research on the subject; I've tried to simplify it to the max, but I think you'll find more convincing subject matter with independent research.

Answer 3

Why ask an unanswerable question? Even differen't peoples' opinions will not bring you closer to an actual answer. There is evidence and theories to support a universe as well as multiverse. Unfortunately, there is no way to know at this point, and your question remains unanswerable (at least there is no 'definate' answer).

Answer 4

Well, actually, a universe involves all of space and it's contents, so that is unanswerable; atleast, for me. No one knows if there is another universe. We live in a solar system, that is a part of a galaxy, which is one of many in a never ending expansion of space and time of one universe. No, as far as I know, everything is a part of one universe.

Answer 5

The steps to our Visual Universe ...

1) Solar System consists of our planets and our sun
2) Milky Way Galaxy, consists of our system, and some other suns and their system
3) Local Cluster, consists of our Milky Way Galaxy plus other galaxy
4) Super Local Cluster, consists of our local cluster and other local cluster
5) Virgo Local Cluster, consists of Leo Super Local Cluster and other super local cluster.
6) Visual Universe, consists of all Super Cluster.

Imagine this: if the entire universe is like a Basketball, our sun is just a small baby hair width size or even smaller.



So, Is one Visual Universe that Hubble Space scope can see, 8 Billion light years ago.
Hint : Use a good 100" refractor and aim it at Virgo star sign "womb", you would see many galaxy there.

Answer 6

The multiverse theory is just a theory. But there's a lot of hard science that went into that. It wasn't just somebody's off-the-wall idea. The theory comes from speculating what caused the Big Bang. It's a really long discussion. I recommend the sources below.

Answer 7

Some theories suggest that there are many. Scientists have said there are bubble universes, universes wrapped up in other dimensions, and others say there is just one that either oscillates, has always existed, or had a beginning and will continue to expand forever.

Answer 8

Ive always used this idea, that our universe is like a spec of dust in a sweeper bag I'm sure theres got to be a wall out there somewhere but our scientists don't have the ability to see that far

Answer 9

Unknown, How ever there is a reasonable argument, of the fish bowl... a lit fish bowl in a darkened room, to the fish inside they are the only bowl in the room, many other fish bowls may exist in the room. But they can't see them. They can't communicate, or detect them in any way. So there maybe other fish bowls out side of our own, but we have no way knowing.

Very Good question though

Answer 10

By definition
u·ni·verse (yū'nə-vûrs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Middle English, from Old French univers, from Latin Å«niversum from neuter of Å«niversus, whole, Å«nus, one, + versus past participle of vertere, to turn.]

noun
All matter and energy, including the earth, the galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a whole.

The earth together with all its inhabitants and created things.
The human race.
The sphere or realm in which something exists or takes place.

every thing we can or can not perceive would exist in one universe. The one universe would also contain all the other planes of existence that are theorized.
