Bubble theory, and multiverses. What do you think?

Question

I watched a very informative documentary about the subject. That showed that math could logically show that parralelle (not sure bout the spelling)universes do exist. And that another dimension has been found making it 13 (anyone know what the dimensions actually are by the way). It also ties in with string theory.

Answer 1

I think the Theory is very interesting. It makes sense, but is hard to imagine. The sucky thing about it, is that we have no idea how we could test such a theory at this point in time. I was thinking about taking a college course on String Theory after I saw a documentary that led me to read up on it. The 13 dimensions aren't really possible to comprehend in a visual sense, but make a lot of sense on paper. You should follow the link below and read more on String Theory....very interesting stuff.

Answer 2

Depends on *how* informed you wish to be. We will never experience more than the 3 dimensions we can *touch*, plus the perception of time.

While the other dimensions probably do exist (and, for some theory to be accurate, MUST exist), they are, at least for the present, useless to us in our daily activities.

But, if you WANT to know about them, and for those who actually study and discover them, they may be key in Man's future. Some wonder why the 4 forces - the Strong & Weak Nuclear force, Electro/magnetism, and Gravity - should all exert a force in such different ways. One theory suggests that gravity 'spills over' into our universe, and that the reason it's so weak is because it's exerted it's strength elsewhere - which implies that all matter as we know *also* must exist in that elsewhere.

There's a difference in the practical approach to the universe - what do we have, and how do we make it work? as opposed to the investigative approach - what do we have, and WHY do we have it?

Sometimes, in answering the 'why' behind some question, the practical application (nuclear power, chemical rockets, quantum computers) follows.... which is why the research is so vital to Man's future.

Answer 3

Consider that at the logical perspective of how we interact with reality, the universal laws of physics (classical physics), describe and explain the physical experience as interfaced by our 5 modes of sensory input. This doesn't change, and for all practical purposes, seems to have been purposely designed. We can only relate to 3 spacial dimensions and one of linear time, 4 dimensions. Any other physical dimensional properties are either so infinitely small or radical in their construct, that they are arbitrary to our comprehension, in an abstract interpretation many things are conceivable, but not Necessary practical or even capable of detection. Its completely possible that given the quasi-physical nature of matter, as composed of elementary particles that seem to not really physically exist, and the inter relationship of energy and matter (basically E=MC2 - Energy + Information = Form), that the reality we experience as living organisms may be a collective matrix of consciousness, not unlike a dream...
So while numerous postulations can be made about what is out there, the truth may be that there is no 'Out There' out there!

Answer 4

Every single time mankind has peered out into the heavens, we have been shocked to discover that reality is way more complex, and the universe is much larger than we had imagined. it wouldn't really surprise me if they figured out that our three spatial dimensions here on earth are just three in 3 billion and that a near infinite number of alternate time-lines run concurrently alongside each other and someday we might find a way to step through a dimensional doorway into a different reality.... anyway it makes for interesting fiction for now.

Answer 5

I truly think that their theories are really mathematical artifacts that are mostly created "to make the formulas and equations work." What they come up with may look really good on paper, but they hardly explain reality in it's entirety... This is mainly due to our assumptions that our math and logic are capable of explaining life, the universe, and everything .

Of course, I'm not saying that I hate the idea that multiverses and wormholes and strings exist... I actually find them quite interesting.

Answer 6

the two theories will not be able to be shown in experiments, yet after interpreting the two one in all them, the M-theory looks the lesser of the two evils. with the aid of superstring theory, the assumption explains the character of the universe so thoroughly. Even i'm questioning of subscribing to the assumption, yet till this is shown, we are able to basically sit down on it. Quantum mechanics is a shown and examined section, and it exceedingly much succeeded in describing the finished nature of the universe...save for the character of gravity. Quantum mechanics can basically clarify how gravity works, yet not why it works the way it did. String theory did the job, yet basically in equations and theories. Now...if a sparkling unifying theory would desire to floor, then... execs and cons exist for all theories, and none of them are incorrect in the event that they might't be falsified. So, we are able to even create our very own theories and say we are excellent, as long as no person is able to coach us incorrect :-D

Answer 7

So what if i'm not a scientist(i wanna be though) I think u got a point... but we'll never know cause we can only perseve 4. did u get this tidbit from wathching NOVA?
