DO YOU THINK, there is more than one universe?

Answer 1

i know there is more than one univaerse. have you looked at the stars lately? every two thousan stars are prob a universe. can you imagine knowing that there are some kind of beings past our galaxy, in a nother universe! o crap i think im a nerd

Answer 2

I think it is important to point out that everything in every direction we see with the naked eye and images through telescopes, including Hubble, is part of one universe and not to be confused with galaxies of which there are many. Having said that, someone once said that in an infinite universe then there are infinite possibilities and if there are infinite possibilities then every concept - however ridiculous, must exist as a reality. If that is true then every stray thought which has escaped from any warped mind in any asylum must exist so, by extension, the belief in multi-verses, aliens and star wars is not only rational but is quite conservative and not at all outrageous. In addition no one questions the fact that on a radio we can have 100 channels of music all broadcasting simutaneously, video, television, broadband. We have different frequencies of light, sound and vision. Our perceptions are coloured by our senses in that what we can't see or touch does not exist. 100 years ago we barely knew that germs could kill us; are we so arrogant that we put our belief unquestioningly in a book written by mystics from 1000 years ago who told us that god made everything but he did not mention germs or viruses. If a god had existed then he would have mentioned them just as he, it is claimed, mentioned every other living creature except dinosaurs because, like the germs and viruses, nobody knew about them so how could they be written about?
But this question is not about whether or not god exists but about something a lot easier to prove. We have no idea if other universes exist perhaps at a frequency which we cannot perceive so, do I think etc., obviously I don't know for sure but I would not bet against it.

Answer 3

at the moment I'm reading info. on M theory which is (my intreputation at the moment) the unifying of the 5 string theories with limits. I'm open to any critism from anyone who can clarified it more. but what is excepted by all, is that there are '4 fundemental forces of nature. one of which is known as the gravitational force', i'll come back to this in a second. there is 10 perhaps a 11 dimensions the latter of which is link to 'super gravity' it's all theory at the moment. we life in a 4 dimensional universe but this don't explain why time slows down as it gets nearer to the speed of light for example, (einstein theory of relavitity) so other dimensions were added to make sense of it all until they eventually came up with 10 dimensions and now debating the 11. back to the 4 fundemental forces, the gravitational force is the weakest of the four, this has puzzle scientist for years, where has the rest of the gravitional force gone to? one idea that is being seriously debated is it's in the 11 dimension being share by other alternate or parallel universes.

forgive me for being long winded and possible inaccurate in some areas but the overall point is that other universes (if proven would mean we are part of a multiverse) is being consider by those in the know. not science fiction but probably science fact.

if your interested get you hands on more info the book below would start you off.

Answer 4

After reading an excellent book entitled _Parallel Universes_ by the eminent physicist Michio Kaku, I believe that the concept of a multiverse, or multiple universes, is highly possible. However, at the present time this concept is pure, unproven theory because no incontrovertible evidence or even mathematical equations have been developed to support this conjecture. Therefore, one can only say at this time that it's possible that more than one universe exists. It is not proven fact.

The concept of multiple universes is based upon a currently popular cosmological theory called string theory, which is also called "M" theory in its most recent evolution. This theory holds that reality consists of at least ten dimensions, of which we can perceive only three spatial dimensions as well as the fourth dimension of time. According to one branch of string theory, the remaining six dimensions are "curled up" as string can be curled up, thus preventing human perception of those dimensions which could contain other universes. In this situation, it's possible that a parallel universe could exist in close proximity to our known universe, perhaps even as close as one millimeter in distance. For more information on this very complex concept, I highly recommend the book mentioned above, which also contains an excellent bibliography of books that offer further insight into string theory and the possibility of multiple universes.

Answer 5

ok a problem i've been reading alot lately is that no one seems to be able to open their mind large enough to grasp the concept of space. we all know about the big bang, we know by tracking the speed of everything expanding a vauge idea of the expanse that all matter traveld from the big bang. but a couple things no one is getting is that everyone is looking at this universe as being flat, i know they know its not flat but they dont get the idea that from the big bang everything expands in all directions. and in all of that now, there has to be more life and such, ok i know thats not what we were talking about but heres the next part no one ever thinks of, "what if there was more than one bang?" each of these would be conciderd a universe. each one larger than we can imagine. ok now heres another one, an infinite number of big bang type universes. know remember, expanding in all directions, surounded by more in all directions. so now open up to that thought, how big is the "universe" that incompases all of that? and how many of those are there? the word "infinite" has new meaning to a lot of you, but you probly still cant grasp it.

Answer 6

Yes!

If you look at atoms electrons circle a positively charged nucleus. This depends on constants governing the attraction between the positive nucleus and negative electron and also the speed of the electron. There are infinate amounts of constants that would not work and would make the electron crash into the nucleus and only one that does work. This is what makes atoms in our universe. Without atoms like they are our universe would be a very different place.

So the chances that there is only one universe and it just so happened that it could support life is infinately small. Chances are for every universe like ours there are infinate numbers of others where the constants that govern them are a lot different. Making them inhospitable to life as we know it.

Answer 7

There is compelling evidence to suggest such a thing.

In the October Popular Science, a young physicist has postulated that the universe as we know it is losing gravity. Where to? Another universe or universes of course. The notion has a growing following. It only goes to show that our world is only one of billions, our galaxy is only one of billions, and our universe is only one of billions. Feeling insiginificant? Perhaps we need to focus more on our herafter than our here now.

Answer 8

Consider what the term 'universe' actually means! By definition, it contains everything, and there can be only one.

(I think some of the answers, such as Nessa's, are a bit confused!)

However, that is just the semantics of it. Physics reveals that it is possible to conceive of universes other than our own, but as we can not, again, by definition, interact with them, I would question the way in which they could be said to exist at all.

Answer 9

A universe is a space-time entity.
If you separate two objects in space they exist separately,if you remove the space between them they are in contact with each other.
A parallel universe could not be relative to us there would be nothing to separate it from us.
Our universe is unique and alone, eventually it will go out of existence.
The state of non existence would be eternal.

Answer 10

Universe, the name UNI means unique, only one. But there are some thoughts about a multiple 'universes'. My advise is this, making a statement without proof, is not scientific.

Answer 11

Since we Don't fully understand the concept of our Universe and given that it is a fully working Model, there is no particular reason to believe it is unique and a stand alone Model.
Science as not ruled out the question why should we?
