Infinite Universes: Imagining Life Forms & Math Limits

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the philosophical implications of infinite universes and the existence of conceivable life forms, such as a three-headed dragon. Participants argue that while every conceivable life form may exist in an infinite multiverse, mathematical limits, particularly from calculus, play a crucial role in understanding these concepts. The conversation emphasizes that without established principles or laws governing these hypothetical universes, definitive answers remain elusive. Ultimately, the topic is deemed non-mainstream science, leading to the thread's closure.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of infinite universes and multiverse theory
  • Basic knowledge of calculus, specifically limits
  • Familiarity with philosophical implications of existence
  • Awareness of the distinction between mathematics and physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the concept of multiverse theory in cosmology
  • Study calculus limits and their applications in theoretical scenarios
  • Investigate philosophical discussions on existence and imagination
  • Examine the laws of nature in hypothetical universes
USEFUL FOR

Philosophers, mathematicians, theoretical physicists, and anyone interested in the implications of infinite universes and the nature of existence.

If there were an infinite number of universes will it be true to say that every conceivable (imagination) life form exists somewhere? Example, somewhere in a universe a 3 headed dragon exists - or does mathematical limit apply in this case?

This isn't a physical question. Physics is about getting results from some principles. Here we have no principles to start with! The answer can be anything you want.
Also your question is related to biology too. Is it actually possible to have dragons? What is the origin of life?
I think this is one of those questions I can simply call a wrong question.
 
No this is a mathematical question. I want to know if the concept of limits in calculus would have an impact on the question. Does infinite variations actually gave a mathematical limit?
 
Mathematics is not physics. Whatever creatures exist in these universes they would still need to follow the laws of nature in that universe. Since we don't know what laws other universes would follow, so there's no way to answer your question. Now, since this topic isn't mainstream science, thread locked.
