Other universes?

Post by His Divine Shadow »

Could there be other universes outside our universe?
Outside of where our physical laws and such exist, could there be any other universes out there of some kind?

I think there might not be any scientific answer to this.

If there is no physical connection between universes, I wonder if their existence/nonexistence has any meaning?

I believe that Hawkings has a theory where micro-wormholes link an infinite number of parallel universes together, which keeps ours stable.

Under Big Collision, other universes exist, and ours was formed when two of these universes colloided. So, I don't think you want to try to cross from one to another.

Under multiuniverse physics some believe that every time a choice has to be made, on the subatomic or macrolevel, a new universe or two is formed to conform with one of the choices.
Barnes has written half of his novels around this very concept.
