    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...
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
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...
