Are Multiverses and Intelligent Life More Than Just Beliefs?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the belief in multiverses and intelligent life, with one participant arguing that the vastness of the universe suggests these phenomena cannot be singular occurrences. Others emphasize that scientific discourse should be based on evidence rather than beliefs, questioning the existence of any supporting data for multiverse theories. While some physicists consider the multiverse concept, the consensus remains that there is currently no empirical evidence to validate it. The conversation highlights a tension between speculative ideas and the need for scientific proof. Ultimately, the debate reflects ongoing curiosity about the universe and the nature of existence.

I believe there must be multiverses because I just can't see our universe being a one time event. Same for intelligent life. The magnitudes involved make it unlikely that anything is only going to occur once. Anyone else that believes this?

The universe doesn't care what we believe and on this forum, we go on science, not on beliefs. Do you have any evidence for the multiverse? If you do, you are the first.

Don't get me wrong, the proposal of the multiverse is taken seriously by some good physisicts, so it's not a banned topic on this forum, but so far there is zero evidence to support the theories.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
