    Parallel Universe
AI Thread Summary
Parallel universes, or multiverses, are primarily speculative concepts rooted in theoretical physics, with varying definitions and classifications proposed by experts like Max Tegmark. While some ideas about multiverses are based on established theories, such as String Theory, they remain largely unproven. The existence of parallel universes raises questions about the nature of reality and the limits of our understanding of the universe. Current discussions emphasize the speculative nature of these theories, highlighting the need for further exploration and evidence. Overall, the debate continues on whether parallel universes are a tangible reality or merely theoretical constructs.

It is speculation, but some ideas are grounded on more or less established theories and models.

So far, speculation.. As is the so-called String Theory...
 
Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
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.

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...
