    Multiverse
In summary, the conversation is about the Multiverse theory and the possibility of a universe where the Multiverse does not exist. The conversation also touches on the paradox of a universe where no other universes exist, and the question of how we exist in a universe that coexists with other possibilities. The conversation also mentions a 9-year-old's argument against the Multiverse theory.

Hello, I am new here.

I've had this in my head for a bit about the Multiverse theory, maybe some of you can give me some help at an answer ?

Heregoes,

In this supposedly "infinite" Multiverse idea, wouldn't there have to be a place for a universe where Multiverse simply did not exist ?

Or even worse, wouldn't you have the possibility of a universe where simply no other universes would exist, even itself ?

If so, how is it that we do still exist in THIS universe, along the possibility of a non-multiverse or non-universe, all at the same time ?

Tbh, I've not had so much sleep lately. ;)

Thanks

Not the first time that it's been asked:
Paradox disproves multiverse, says 9 year old.

Short answer from Janus on post 6:
The argument falls apart right here. This just means that a "universe where there isn't a multiverse" doesn't fall within the realm of possibility if there is a multiverse. IOW, the existence of a multiverse excludes a universe without a multiverse as being a possibility. "Every possibility" does not mean "Everything is possible".
For example, with a standard six sided die, rolling a "pi" is not a possibility.
 

1. What is a multiverse?

A multiverse is a theoretical concept in physics and cosmology that suggests the existence of multiple universes outside of our own. These universes may have different physical laws, dimensions, and even different versions of ourselves.

2. How is the multiverse theory supported?

The multiverse theory is mainly supported by mathematical models and theories such as string theory and inflationary cosmology. It is also supported by observations in quantum mechanics and the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation.

3. Is there any evidence for the existence of a multiverse?

Currently, there is no direct evidence for the existence of a multiverse. However, some scientists argue that the concept of a multiverse can help explain certain observations in physics, such as the fine-tuning of the universe and the quantum behavior of particles.

4. Can we ever prove or disprove the existence of a multiverse?

It is not currently possible to prove or disprove the existence of a multiverse. Since these other universes are hypothesized to exist outside of our observable universe, it would be difficult to obtain any direct evidence. However, advancements in technology and future scientific discoveries may allow us to gather more evidence in the future.

5. Is a non-multiverse possible?

There is currently no scientific evidence or theory that suggests a non-multiverse is possible. The concept of a multiverse is a theoretical idea that is still being explored and debated among scientists. However, until there is evidence or a theory that can disprove the existence of a multiverse, it remains a valid possibility.
