How accepted is the multiverse theory?

Have you even seen evidence for a multiverse in a lab? Neither has anyone else.

Hitchen's razor can be dismissed without evidence because it's statement is asserted without evidence.

Deal with it.

[Anonymous No.5643181]

>>5643172
nope but it sure as fuck is not evidence. And science uses evidence ergo if there are no evidence it's not science.

I really hope there's a God just so all these questions can eventually be answered
questions like "how did life begin" and "are there multiple universes" can never be definitively answered; the best we can do is come up with theories and add more and more evidence to them
the existence of a God would simplify all of that

Eternal Inflation is far from accepted, but it still does bring a solid case to the table, even a bit of evidence as well.

Dear God I hope the multiverse theory at least has some truth.

If it's true, somewhere there's a world where the Nazis won.

had the nazis won, hitler would have return half its original territory to my country, and i'm pretty sure my people would live a better life

[Anonymous No.5643241]

And also because it would imply the existence of degenerated universes that don't follow the laws of physics, for the sole purpose of explaining how our universe works.

Joke's on you, turns out the god you asked is only omniscient concerning the internal details of her own little universe and isn't aware of the others, including the universe containing the computer simulating her. Also she was not so much a god as an evil domineering alien lifeform with techno-powers beyond your comprehension. Not that any of it was real; the whole story was invented by a demon fucking with your brain who besides you is the only other creature in the universe.

It's Bioshock Infinite.

It's about a dude who tries to rescue a girl and escape a floating city/battlestation during the early 1900th, while there's a conflict between a two parties where as one are the "voice of the people" social-anarchists and the other quasi-Nazism who viewed the founding fathers of America as Gods.

It's a fun as fuck fps where depending on how you gear can play it as a fps-beat em up, Call of Duty, or however you'd like to play it.

Central themes to the story are choices and redemption.

But /v/ hates it because /v/ are hipsters and /pol/ hates it because they're fucking paranoid that it's "anti-whit agenda" on the loose because there's racism in a made up ultra-nationalistic extremely closed nation in set in 1909.

While on that, there's two things that's kinda chocking about the game and no one talks about; you kill kids at one part of the game, and watching how sick people choose to become mechanical behemoths in order to save their life even if it makes them freak in a world where looks plays a huge role.

And there's bitchin cool remakes of "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and "Everybody wants to rule the world" in the "what if they were made in the past"-way.

Fuck I love this game.

If there is an infinite amount of alternate universes, each one being slightly different, logically at least one of them contains the christian God. Due to the nature of omnipotence and omniscience, he would be able to transcend his own original universe to rule over the omniverse.

The "multiverse theory" isn't a scientific theory.
It isn't accepted or even discussed amoungst most scientists.

Why multiverses are retarded, in a nutshell

[Anonymous No.5643508]

>>5643155
the multiverse theory is nothing but a QM interpretation. These are metaphysical constructs that lack any real mathematical meaning that come into being because QM itself is rather counter-intuitive. We either have to posit some hidden inaccessible reality or accept the loss small-scale determinism.

They are interesting to think about and can be useful as far as how we intuit QM. But they are not properly science in and of themselves.

[Anonymous No.5643512]

>>5643493
And/or why there can't be multiverses without having God.

[Anonymous No.5643514]

>>5643172
yes it is. Learn how science works.

[Anonymous No.5643518]

why this one would be unique?

why Max Tegmack, a respectable scientist, think otherwise?

why peoples say nobody work on this while many especially in string theory think about others universes?

anyway if no multiverses there is still cyclic universe theory and all that stuff

[Anonymous No.5643524]

>>5643518
>why Max Tegmack, a respectable scientist, think otherwise?
scientists are just people. They have opinions like any other. The multiverse stuff is largely beyond any meaning, its untestable in practice, and in some formulations untestable even in theory. As such all it can ever be right now is a curiosity and a conjecture. To hold it is nothing but an aesthetic choice until it becomes physically meaningful.

You may as well wonder why a respected literary critic can think highly of certain book. Its nothing but taste.

Multiverse theory is not accepted or taught as part of the standard physics degree programs. It is a very niche thing, with no evidence to suport it.

"Newtonian Gravity" is a scientific theory, taught to all physicists, and used in the field. "Multiverse theory" is not a scientific theory, it is not testable and has no applications.
