The multiverse. What a concept.

>> No.10025901

It's an OK idea, but its definition is slightly flawed. You see, in history, "universe" is most commonly been defined as the set that contains everything. Hence it doesn't make sense to define "multiverse" as "set of parallel universes".

Because people keep saying 'the big bang created the universe', as if we could possibly actually know that.

In fact, if we do define the universe as "contains everything," then things like the Big Bang or a creator God become impossible.

Specifically, the definition implies that the universe has always existed:
1. Assume the opposite; that the universe has NOT always existed.
2. Then there has to exist a moment in timeline where the universe didn't exist.
3. But then that moment could not have been contained by the universe, which is a contradiction.

What a *shitty* concept, the multiverse.

>> No.10028707

>>10028281
If the multiverse turns out to be real, will people start calling it "the universe"? And if so, what will we call what we used to think was "the universe", our insular corner of the multiverse? "The local bubble"?

>>10025901
That's the same problem as is with atom. The word means something you can't divide into smaller pieces. And yet we had to shit all over our definitions and go beyond.
Guess you'll just have to live with it.
