Multiverses by Chandler Anderson & Cooper O’Brien
Interview with MichioKaku: • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39qmbl7mpJQ (0:00 to 2:37) • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39qmbl7mpJQ#t=5m20s (5:20 to 9:09) From Universes to Multiverses
mul·ti·verse: An infinite realm of being or potential being of which the universe is regarded as a part or instance. • Coined in 1895 by the American philosopher and psychologist William James. What is a Multiverse?
According to Kaku, black holes could be connected to “white holes”, out of which new universes are created. • This could explain a link between our universe and other “baby universes” which stem off of our universe. Origin of a Universe
We are unable to perceive parallel universes because they exist past our past and future light cones (space and time which we can influence). Light & Other Universes
Multiverses provide a possible explanation of dark matter • “The source of dark matter is gravitational attraction from nearby parallel universes of the multiverse which we are constantly branching to and from.” – Rob Bryanton • Gravity travels across dimensions. Dark Matter
Level I: Beyond our cosmological horizon • Level II: Universes with different physical constants • Level III: Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics • Level IV: Ultimate Ensemble • Each level can incorporate the levels below it. Max Tegmark'sFour Levels
Level I: Beyond our cosmological horizon • There are an infinite number Hubble volumes, all of which are governed by the same physical constants and laws. Max Tegmark'sFour Levels
Level II: Universes with different physical constants • There are “bubble universes” that exist in close proximity to each other, but they are all governed by the same physical constants and laws. Max Tegmark's Four Levels
Level III: Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics • Every time a chance event occurs, the universe is split and a universe is created for each possibility. • Schrodinger's Cat Max Tegmark's Four Levels
Level IV: Ultimate Ensemble • There are other sets of universes which exist under different mathematical structures. • Tegmark’s own hypothesis: “Our external physical reality is a mathematical structure” 2+2=5? Max Tegmark's Four Levels
