How Many Universes do exist in the present known Set up?

Question

According to Islamic Theolgy, The creator says that there are seven Earths and seven Skys I did some research and found a book written by a famous scholar almost 1000 yrs old which said that there are seven universes on top of each other and after that there is URSH beyond which the Creator exists. In the Holy Book Quran the creator has said that the first universe is decorated with stars this means that all we can see through naked eye or the hubble is the first Universe and good things begin after that. I am a serious entusiast of Astronomy and always look for answers from other humans with different faiths and different thinking, cause i know after all we are still the species and we can discover new things together only if we communicate

Answer 1

MAN READ SCIENCE..NOT THOSE BOOKS..THEN U'LL KNOW THE ANSWERS
UR CONUSED OF DEFINITION OF UNIVERSE IT IS =EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS ANYWHERE THAT MEANS IT IS EVERYWHERE
IF IT IS EVERYWHERE THEN HOW CAN IT BE 7 OR ANY

Answer 2

Only one universe exists, it contains all the dimensions, OR an infinite number of universes exist, with an infinite possible of dimensions. People can get dimensions and universes confused. A dimension is vast and higher ones are un-understandable, the universe is vast and we are unable to comprehend it all, so they seem very similar.

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity says that if you go faster then time will slow down. The faster you go, the slower time will get until you almost reach the speed of light when time almost slows to a halt. This is for the observer, not the pilot; that what makes it the Theory of Relativity. The mathematical proof is quite complicated using higher order calculus. However, the proof does work and has been accepted by the scientific community for a long time. The problem is that the proof requires the existence of at least 11 dimensions. Experiments have proven that Einstein is correct. These experiments were conducted, with atomic clocks, on an airplane flying around the world, and the even faster shuttle. In both cases the time on the plane and the shuttle that passed was actually slower, by a few nanoseconds. Since the proof and evidence work, then there are at least 11 dimensions. Cosmic String Theory requires at least 26 dimensions.

What is a dimension? You know the basic three length, width, and depth. Many people think that time is the forth dimension, but scientists don't necessarily accept that. So what are the higher dimensions? I wish I knew. Since we are 3D beings we don't have the ability to understand higher dimensions. To understand this better read Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions: http://ebbs.english.vt.edu/20th/txts/abbott/flat01.html
It gives an analogy of how much trouble 2D beings would have understanding a 3D being.

Then there is the theory of all possible permutations exist. Simply put this theory states that whenever there is a choice of something happening then all possible outcomes exist; and each outcome creates a new universe. According to the theory there is a universe where Hitler was only a painter. The problem is that we cannot detect these universes, and for every possible outcome there is a new universe. This would continue down to the subatomic level. When an electron orbits the nucleus it doesn't follow the same path, its location is only determined by probability. So each electron has a huge number of positions it can be in. Think how many electrons make up a piece of fruit, and this number increases, then think about the entire universe, and the number of possible choices grows immense. If you consider that choices made in all these universes also spawn new universes, the number of universes approaches infinity. If you consider that each newly created universe starts its own time track, in which all possible choices exist, all generating a vast number of universes that generate more universes and so on. Now the number of universes grows becomes infinite. Even if it doesn’t happen at the subatomic level the same condition exists. You can increase the threshold that creates a new dimension, but when you consider that we have all the time since the big bang to create new universes, and each universe spawns more universes the number still approaches infinity. If you increase the threshold beyond that of personal choice (do this or do that) then you violate the theory. It doesn’t help, our understanding, if you consider that all these new universes will have their own dimensions then there will be an infinite number of dimensions as well. OR the possible choices could be expressed in new dimensions, which would call for an infinite number of dimensions.

So there are either many dimensions in one universe, or there are an infinite number of universes each with their own dimensions, meaning we have an infinite number of dimensions.

Have I confused you enough yet? We only know how to interact with our universe and the 3 dimensions that we can understand. Therefore there is only one universe with a high, but unknown, number of dimensions.

Answer 3

We don't know the answer to this question, and we may never know. Even if someday it were possible to know that there are more than one, the one we live in, it still doesn't mean that we will be able to find out how many more there are.

However, our current best Theory (Superstring Theory) tells us that there maybe something like 10^500 (that's 10 followed by 500 zero's) universes. That is alot of universes, but not all of them can support life, or is anything like our own Universe. The laws of physics there are completely different from our own. The reason they are different is due to the curled-up higher spatial dimensional manifolds. These curl-up dimensions determines the quantum states of the vibrating strings, or in other words, how the vibrating strings behaves, which determines what kinds of elementary particles will exist in that particular universe.

Answer 4

There's only one universe. A universe is everything that's around us. Wikipedia says :

In materialist philosophical terms, the total universe is the summation of all matter that exists and the space in which all events occur. In cosmological terms, the universe is thought to be a finite or infinite space-time continuum in which all matter and energy exist. It has been hypothesized by some scientists that the universe may be part of a system of many other universes, known as the multiverse.

The part of the universe that can be seen or otherwise observed is usually called the known universe, observable universe, or visible universe. Because cosmic inflation removes vast parts of the total universe from our observable horizon, most cosmologists accept that it is impossible to observe the whole continuum and may use the expression our universe, referring only to that knowable by human beings in particular.

Answer 5

A toy rule-based system may contain a few rules to construct an arch out of a number of pre-selected wooden blocks. It is a useful academic approach to unsolved problems. It is not employed in producing practical, real-world solutions. So I guess in the present Set up, there are 1 Universe(s).

Answer 6

7 times the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin

Answer 7

By definition...1.

Answer 8

One, a universe is what it means, UNI-one. A universe is one in a multiverse, which is many in the omniverse. But one it is.

Answer 9

infinite

and yea, the guy above me is right. ALL(including his and mine) the answer here would be bull$hit. As of now at least.

Answer 10

I define the universe as all there is.
With this definition there is one one universe.
