I believe that there is more than one Universe. Where is the proof that this is the only Universe?

Answer 1

There is no proof at all. Some scientists believe that there could be parallel universes but of course detecting them would be impossible with our present technology

Answer 2

We can define the universe as everything there is, so in that case there are no other universes. We also say that space and time both started at the Big Bang and therefore there was nothing before it.

Another definition for the universe is the observable universe - which is the part of it that we can technically see. We cannot know what is outside of that (since we can't observe it), but we think that physics works the same everywhere and so we think that it should be very similar to the observable universe. We actually think that the universe might be infinite in extent, and so goes on forever, even though we can only see a finite part of it.

We can speculate in meta-physics or in religion about what was before the Big Bang, but again, we cannot use science to tell anything about it as physics as we understand it breaks down at that point.

Answer 3

If time and space began 10-43 sec after the big bang then there could be nothing before that. This is a cop out. it is beyond belief that the singularity of the pin point that contained all of the matter, in the form of energy, came from nothing. Perhaps the definition of nothing should be modified to include the void that all scientists claim could not, or did not exist. It is obvious to me that that 10-43 second was the life span of the singularity, it took that unbelievably short period for the infinite cold of the void to begin sucking up the heat of the singularity, why don't they make a concentrated effort to determine what condition existed in the void to trigger the birth of the singularity. Perhaps nothing can be stretched to a point where a stress of some kind becomes a point of enough is enough. Nature abhors a vacuum, let's find out why this so.

Answer 4

I'm assuimg you mean from a scientific perspective.

There are a couple of proofs:

-As you can't (according to most interpretations) communicate between parallel universes, they are unfalsifiable and therefore unscientific.
-They violate occam's razor (the idea that nothing should be assumed if not necessary)
-There is no proof they do exist.

One theory, called Brane theory, says you can communicate between them with gravity waves.

Essentially, we have not, or in some cases currently cannot, run experiments to answer the question as to whether or not parallel universes exist.

There is also the idea, however, of "mirror matter", which has gravity, but cannot be detected in any other way. If it exists, it would be like a parallel universe inside our own, if you get my drift.

There is no proof either way in this argument, as of yet.

Answer 5

At this level there is no proof only theories. They can be discounted.

There is a theory where in the 'multi'verse, there are numerous Big Bang type events happening regularly causing different Universe Bubbles to form. Additionally I believe that some of the Radio Telescopes have now found Galaxies that would conform to a single big bang theory.

Answer 6

Lets just say if humans don't have the technology to fully explore our universe there is no chance of opening another one.
There was a multi-verse theory in circulation, just type it into the search box of Yahoo!A and you'll find it.

What you also must consider that if there was multi-universes, what are the odds that a person in any of the other trillions of universes did discover a way to communicate between dimensions? The odds are too unrealistic. Then the odds of that person contacting this universe are too unrealistic as well. I don't think we will ever find out, and if we do, it will be because of that other person in the other universe

Answer 7

The way science works is this

you come up with a hypothesis (more than one universe)

you provide some sort of evidence for your hypothesis

science DOES NOT work by people saying 'I believe in invisible dragons in my garage, prove that I am wrong'

Answer 8

Read 'A Brief History Of Time' and 'The String Theory', lots of stuff around, giving you the chance to learn a little more about the multi-level universe, split dimensions, epic size and the Nth dimension (pronounced en-th). Good reading!

Answer 9

We can't see beyond the cosmic horizon, so there might just be... probably is, I'd imagine.

Our universe could just be a slice in a loaf of bread... you should read/watch the Elegant Universe if you haven't.

Answer 10

I cannot share your belief. I wish you luck with it; I cannot proove it of course but I believe there is more to this Universe than we will ever see or understand. Mankind wil be gone long before we develop enough technology to be able to explore it fully and answe those questions! Maybe that is our biggest regret.
