How many universes have there been? Were the laws of physics different for each of them? Did some have life forms as we know them and some not?

Can mankind ever expect to truly grasp the enormity of it all or the potential for variety?

Do you ever think about stuff like that?

Yes I do, and so do other people.

I do think about this from time to time, and I do believe that this is not the first Universe, nor will it be the last. I remember reading somewhere (I just can't remember where) that our Universe is no longer expanding, but beginning to contract, which means that is the beginning of the end (though of course it will probably take millions of years). This universe will continue to shrink until it is the size of a small particle, but still filled with all the energy within this Universe, when it is compressed enough, there will be another big bang and a brand new Universe.
I do believe that there have been many others, and that there is a great possibility that there was life, perhaps not as we know it, in these other Universes. There is also the possibility of other life in THIS Universe. So I would say the potential for variety is vast.

Yeah, i imagine about stuff like that. Multiverse idea has been explored such by using significant medical minds as Alan Guth, who gave us Inflationary idea, so it isn't precisely in the area of the lunatic fringe. no individual knows if the vast Bang idea is real, in spite of the indisputable fact that that's on direction considering the fact that new observations have a tendency to substantiate the underlying theory. common misconceptions about the concept is the concept that it became an explosion. No BB theorist makes the declare that something banged or how large a bang there became. "large Bang" became a derogatory allusion to those loopy scientists that got here up with the concept that the universe isn't status nonetheless. The call stuck, it really is all. Addressing the first element of your question, it doesn't look that the universe has sufficient remember and gravity to end increasing, so the over-and-yet another time idea doesn't at the moment seem the case, a minimum of no longer in this universe. in reality, apparently in accordance to the modern-day measurements and seem at that the universe's enhance is nicely accelerating. perchance in one thousand billion years area will be very darkish, everthing will be so a strategies removed from each and every thing else. The Multiverse idea to me is complicated. Infinities are complicated and that is what you get with MV idea. As for mankind ever grasping the enormity of all of it, on condition that physicists can hint time lower back to the first minute fraction of a 2d of existence (the Planck era: 10^ - 35 sec ATB), it really is hubris certainly. in the subsequent one hundred years, might want to mankind no longer foul its nest previous restoration, who knows what enormity of scope will be encompassed by using technological awareness.

With the discovery of accelerating expansion, cosmological theoreticians are busy tossing up a variety of hypotheses, and one guess is nearly as good as another. It's going to be a while before anyone comes up with tests to confirm or disprove any of them. But the ontological exercise is good.

For now, we can only deal with the current one. If there are others, we don't have a clear idea of how they come about, but it's certainly some process too slow to make a decent disaster movie about. I sometime wonder if I've had past lives, but I don't pretend that they would have any influence on what I'm doing now.

This is one idea that is currently proposed by quantum gravity.
The theory theorizes that the universe before this one had an opposite spacetime geometry, and thus collapsed rather than expanded as ours does. As the universe collapsed, the stress on spacetime caused constants to reverse. Gravity temporarily become a repulsive force. The repulsiveness of gravity caused to universe to expand again.

I believe God created the universe though, and through whatever method He wishes. If He made the universe in a big-bang type style, then so-be-it.

Cheers ^_^

Nancy A knows what's up. Time is simply a spatial dimension that we perceive in a particular way. Just as the entirety of length is bounded by the confines of our universe, so is time. Absent our (human) perception, all that is past, present, and future coexists.
I've been on about this for years, but quantum science is only just beginning to catch up. The way they put it is, "everything that happens is always happening." It's very frustrating, yet vindicating.

There is no "big bang". How can someone believe that an explosion can result an universe arranged in such a perfect way?
Why don't we do an experiment? Let's blow a building up. We'll call it "little bang". Maybe some monkeys will appear. LOL
There's definitely a Creator, the smartest person in the Universe.

I think about it often. And it seems more and more likely that this is true and that each universe has a range of physical laws. Some develop as ours did and other don't due to the difference in physical laws.

This a very Buddhist view of things.

The possibilities of all that are mind staggering, aren't they? Keep pondering around though, past the edge of madness and beyond. Go where no man has thought before ; ) Add in the factor of memories though in your ponderings. They are physical things.

Read "God's Debris" by Scott Adams. You'll like it. There's a lot of hints in there.

Its not correct, so we dont have to worry about that one. Dont have to worry about any of this.
Mankind is capable of knowing God and believing His word, and living as God says, and knowing that Heaven is there goal while they can have a lot of heaven right here on this earth, by living like Jesus and not lie the rest of the world.
Yep, I think of stuff lie this all the time and I tell as many as I can. Hope you will too Jesus is the only way man.

It feels way too big to grasp. I'm ok that some very smart people are spending their lives decoding or unraveling the puzzle. I just take it as something out there, distant, but of no practical relevance to my life.
