Scientists Discover Possible First Proof of Parallel Universes

A new study about one of the most inexplicable places in the cosmos may offer the first proof that we are living in a multiverse.
The idea of a “multiverse” proposes that an infinite amount of universes, including the one we are living in, exist in parallel to each other.
These universes differ in a variety of physical properties, featuring multiple Big Bangs, space bubbles and maybe even an alternate version of you who is reading this article in a world run by slugs. The “multiverse” hypothesis has been so far been impossible to test but has supporters among such scientists as Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Leonard Susskind.
I wonder how many cold spots we in this universe?

Of course there other universes out there.
So far it's only hypothesizes but to me it makes sense.
Or should I say more plausible.

We live in a small world and it is not a parallel universe (18th May)
I don't think there are any evidences of parallel universes (18th May)
Of course there other universes out there. (19th May)

It would help if you could make your mind up about what you think. 12 posts in 24 hours, mostly contradicting yourself. There is an old proverb, quality not quantity.

You are VERY off topic!!!!!
What I think?
How cares?
Put me on FILTER!!"!!!
And going back to topic!
As for parallel universes there are MANY hypothesis around.
I have presented some of them that scientists put forward.
Ideas that come from scientists like Max Tegmark, Hugh Everett III, Laura Mersini-Houghton and many others.

I hope everyone knows the difference between Parallel Universes and Multiverses.
A parallel universe could exist in our universe.
A Multiverse could exist outside our universe.

Dang, janneseti.

Get it correct, will you.

Either small or large caps, perhaps, but at least that of multiverses, because I am not supposed to be that of Beethoven either.

We will probably never know.
However our Universe is finite.

More than one universe? It's a ridiculous question no more.
How could multiple universes be generated, and can we ever find evidence, one way or another, for their actual existence?
Talk about expanding your horizons: you can't imagine what's in store!
It's called a 'multiverse'. And in the multiverse, real universes may be generated in radically different ways.

There is no "probably" about it. Infinity is a concept, it is an extent of time, space, or quantity, that has no limits or end.
As we live in a finite world, the concept of infinity is difficult for the human psyche to comprehend.

I think you know about Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Nothing is certain!

Message 1868406 - Posted: 20 May 2017, 15:55:21 UTC - in response to Message 1868402.  

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is to do with quantum mechanics and nothing to do with infinity or parallel universes. The winner of next year's Kentucky Derby is uncertain, but also nothing to do with Heisenberg.

In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle, also known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle or Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle, is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, known as complementary variables, such as position x and momentum p, can be known.

Historically, the uncertainty principle has been confused with a somewhat similar effect in physics, called the observer effect, which notes that measurements of certain systems cannot be made without affecting the systems, that is, without changing something in a system. Heisenberg offered such an observer effect at the quantum level as a physical "explanation" of quantum uncertainty.

What?
I'm a part of the quantum world.
So do you!
Stop your nonsense!

You are dead wrong!
Infinity doesn't exist in the real world!
That's a fact.
Parallel universes perhaps.
Not a fact merely a hypothesis.

Infinity is not a material substance that can be weighed or measured, it is a concept. And it can be represented by ∞ =1/0.

Yes.
Math can do wonders.
Even when it comes to the concept of Infinity.
I think you have read or seen Mad Max:)

Btw ∞ is not a number and can't be used in math.
Simple fact.
Or how do you prove this?
∞ =1/0
I think it's an axiom just as there are no proofs of parallel lines.

Yes. I know very well about infinity and Calculus.
It was Descartes and later Isaac Newton that created this math toolbox.
But in real life and did they explain calculating limits outside the view?
I would say no because it's only about dividing things .
Not about what objects outside looks like.
There are no such tools.
Have you been to a infinity as a German mathematician said in video that I linked before?

The roots of calculus go back a long way, a very long way. Possibly about 2000 years BC, so about 4000 years ago. What these Europeans did was to pull it all together, rationalise it into "simple" algorithms and get noticed doing so.
It is interesting that many of the techniques employed by "The Ancients", such as error estimation and rounding are still employed today in computational based calculus - where one is trying to get an answer, where transfer functions are used to express "real" differential and integral functions in terms that can be calculated more easily, then you invert the transfer function to get to the final answer.

I remember one maths lecturer coming my office, looking at e bit of paper on the wall with a stack of differential equations on it. After studying them for a few seconds he asked "Why have you got Maxwell's equation of state for light on your wall?" - My answer floored him "Oh, is that what they are, last time I saw them like that was in my under graduate days, more recently (PG days) I was using the Hamiltonian transfers, so much easier to do on a pocket calculator...", the look on his face was priceless.
